Kids are home this weekend so I’m in mom mode. They are such awesome little humans. They told me yesterday they have seen their dad’s new house and picked out their rooms. They also said he told them he is putting a tv in each of their rooms. WTF?!? Not something he would have agreed to before. Seems like maybe he is trying to buy their approval...or trying to ensure they never come out of their rooms. Not sure if I should talk to him about it or not. It is his home but we’ve talked about trying to lessen the time they spend in front of screens, not increase it. Frustrating.

Texted very little with Facebook guy yesterday. Just a few texts after work. Decided to give it a rest for awhile and meet other people to see if my feelings become more clear. He’s got some “issues” to work out, I think, and TBH, we probably aren’t a great match in a lot of ways. He is passionate about things that I like but would never become obsessed the way he seems to be... like he has something to prove and is trying to cheat death.

I have been talking on and off with the guy who fell “in love” with my profile. My sister thinks he is the best match for me. She read his profile and commented that it is something I could have written. He seems grounded, well-balanced, realistic but hopeful. He isn’t looking for a fairy tale or perfection or someone who “completes” him. A real guy looking for a real girl with good values and who likes to laugh. Long story short... we are going out for coffee on Friday - likely during my lunch hour or possibly after work. He has to meet some friends that evening at a resort about an hour away. They all have a memorial service to attend the next day for a guy that was killed in a car accident on his way to work.

Tomorrow I’m going across the line for a couple days with my sister. Got a couple free nights at a casino resort so we are taking advantage. Love and (((HUGS))) to all.
