Flavor of the week and a Giveaway!

08 Aug

So this week I’ve been seeing a really nice guy who lives close by and works at a hospital in the cardiac center. He’s a sweetie-pie. :P Tomorrow he is taking me to a pool party (on his motorcycle – hubba, hubba) which should be fun. I also was supposed to have drinks with a middle school teacher tonight after work but I ended up having to take Pumpkinhead to work after my Dad got sick and couldn’t watch him at the last minute. So the teacher wants to try to get together another time this weekend. We’ll see… I actually kind of like the medical guy and he could be fun to spend time with for a while. But, after my first post-divorce “dating” experience (Hi Josh), I’m not cutting off any avenues anymore unless I’m certain that I am interested in seriously pursuing something.

This week I read “Single Mom Seeking: Playdates, Blind Dates and Other Dispatches From the Dating World.” It was very good – highly recommended. Funny, honest, painful. And I accidentally bought two. So if you think you would like a copy, please leave a comment on my blog about your worst/funniest dating experience.

BTW, Pumpkinhead did awesome at work. He sat calmly on the floor with a pillow and blanket watching Elmo, Between the Lions and Curious George. Then, after lunch out, he played with a new toy we bought at the local educational toy store and wrote a “book” about tea time. LOL. I was so proud!

Admissions

08 Aug

Okay, John Edwards, WTF?!? Are all men dogs? :( Very disappointing.

In other admissions, Chapin FINALLY called tonight (first time since the other night). Thank goodness because Pumpkinhead has woken up crying at least twice a night for the past three nights. :( Where at first he had used his mother as an excuse, he is now being honest. He had called me when I was out to dinner with one of my dates. I don’t lie as a general rule when asked a direct question so I told him I was out to dinner. I didn’t rub it in his face and of course I didn’t tell him about the Slutty McSlutSlut part, but when he asked if I was out with a man, I admitted it (saying it was just dinner, nothing else). Anyway, tonight he told me that when he heard that, he realized he was not ready to return to the US. He said he felt devastated and angry and thinks he owes it to me to return in a healthier emotional state (i.e., not ready to kill me or any man who takes me out – yes, he used the word “kill”…). Alrighty then…. But I made it clear to him that he is devastating his child and that he needs to call daily to make up for that. Of course I haven’t told Pumpkinhead that Chapin’s staying down there indefinitely. Just that Daddy needs to help his Mommy and Daddy for a few more weeks. We’ll see what to do after that.

P.S. No, I didn’t mention the truck. I’m going to pay this month and then see what happens from there. I know, I know… But he sounded so sad. Hard to sever emotional ties so quickly.
