Thanks Joe. The other options is rarely see each other or introduce the kids too early. I don't think either of them are the better choice. I am glad his kids are sound sleepers. We had a plan in case they wake up. I was simply Daddy's friend. I don't think there is any harm in that. I prefer to date guys with kids and I have kids, so we make it work.
I am definitely enjoying getting to know band guy. he has the same name as you, I think that's a good sign! Today he is throwing his son a birthday party. He did everything himself and sent me pictures of his pintrest successes! yes, that is very hot to us single mom women. Along with the ability to fix things. Last night he wanted me to text him when I got home. We had some wicked storms and there a detour that took a little longer to get home. I said "I hope I didn't wake you, it took me longer than usual to get home." He said "I wasn't sleeping, he was waiting for your text" he speaks my LL on all counts. And guess what book he had on his nightstand?! "5LL"!
Today I am going to go look at a condo. Not what I really want, but my choices are dwindling. At least the complex has a pool. Dinner with friends tonight. My D needs to get home. I miss her horribly and I would never survive as a bachelorette. My domestic desires go down hill when she isn't around. I finally made myself do laundry and the dishes!
