I haven't posted in a very long time.

My current life is stressful and I'm spread very thin trying to make the entrepreneurial jump and cultivate a new future for a depressed area. It is difficult, but thrilling. Challenging, but rewarding. I am passionate about it, and it is no longer about any amount of money but about awakening and living a life without compromising.

I had seen a woman walking around town on a couple different occasions. She was working with a state senator and they came to my shop for a meeting. Then she walked in. I talked with the senator but was searching for a way to look at this woman. I then found her through social media and proceeded to promptly ask her out. We have been out on a lot of dates now. Date 2 was a walk in the woods followed by dinner (it was 12 hours long). Date 3 was 30 plus hours long. This woman is smart, gorgeous, has a Ph D, older than me by 2 years, thoughtful, kind, supportive, nonjudgmental and I could go own.

I understand it is new. But I think this could be something. I was the conservative LBS, who focused overly on the relationship with the kids. So some of my beliefs are shaken and I'm now thinking I want to see her more and more.

So I'm looking for thoughts, I already have my own but... How should I stay grounded? What should I be concerned about in regards to the kids?

Please keep in mind there isn't any real co-parenting going on for me.
