I have stopped by your daughter's blog and said hello and welcome. Her blog reminded me so much of my first one. I hope she enjoys her time here and will find that it is both friendly and rewarding.
The paycheck at the end of a work week can certainly make going to work a little easier. I'll have to agree with your son on that one!
And, you, I wish you luck in finding a job...and not just any job, but one that you want and will enjoy.
Hope you all had a nice weekend!
You have concerns...wouldn't you anyway? If you really are that happy with G and you want it to be a good relationship, then you don't have to change a thing you're doing, but just tell him to slow you down a bit and enjoy each moment as it comes if you and he really want to help make one of those concerns go away. As a real friend would do that for a friend, he'll do that for you...because it's for both of you.
Now, your other concern. Of course you care and want the best, so be supportive and remain on good, friendly terms so that he knows that what you are doing is not to hurt him, and that you want him to happy, too.
Now that the two concerns have been covered, just go enjoy yourself! You know what makes you happy, and everything you are doing and feeling is good, so enjoy it!
I don't know...I just don't know! I fell behind in reading posts, so here I am trying to catch up on yours, so I've been reading one after the other and I am, like, so on a cloud for you! Yep, I must be on a cloud because I just saw you drift by and I KNOW you're on a cloud! That book of poetry that G has given you will just have to be one of the most cherished things you'll have for the rest of your life!
I like it! Nah, I don't...I love it!!! A little music, but not to play too loudly...you don't want to take away from the sounds of what is around you. If he likes chocolate, you should tuck some in that picnic basket. Don't forget a tiny little vase with a flower or two...or one to pin to his shirt or just to let him hold. OMG, this is sooooooo romantic!
Hey, remember that the two of you LIKE each other, too. That means you're friends...and friends try to make each other happy and others that are around happy, too. There will be an adjustment period, but if all are introduced as friends and get to know each other, heck...that's half the battle, right? You'll still be spending time with your kids when G's not around...a little less of a threat to THEM in their eyes that way...your ex sounds like he'll be supportive...a little less of a threat to HIM in their eyes...and they'll get to know G and see how he makes you AND them happy...so a little less of a threat to YOU in their eyes. Again, all I can say is that I am so genuinely happy for you!
Yeppers, as we might say around here, "You done good!"
If I could, I would be hugging him right now! Oh, no, have no fear, I would be hugging him for the sheer beauty of his poetry, the feelings behind his words, and the happiness he's bringing to you! You see, we knew this stuff...and YOU knew all this stuff...but, finally, somebody is telling you all this stuff and you are really hearing it!
This is unbelievable. You are saving all of these, yes? Beautiful! The poetry is like a serenade!
This is sweet.
Oh, I can't even comment on this because my words will come out all blubbery and slobbery. (And, THAT ain't poetry! ) I am so happy for you! (Wow, I did get something sensible out, but I'd better quit because I can feel all the bumblies building up.) Enjoy yourself...enjoy life!
That is absolutely beautiful! My heart is smiling for you!
Yikes, busy and a bit expensive...but, gee, you know what? You're worth it and a whole lot more! Keep enjoying yourself! I hope you made the most of the entire weekend and, when it's over, make it a point to keep enjoying yourself!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr about all the computer problems and the "help" that goes with it! Hope your 4-day weekend was the break you needed!
I know that AJ got this info for you, but I looked it over, too. So, what do you think? I don't see any big red flags, so does this info make you feel a little better about the guy?
The paycheck at the end of a work week can certainly make going to work a little easier. I'll have to agree with your son on that one!
And, you, I wish you luck in finding a job...and not just any job, but one that you want and will enjoy.
Hope you all had a nice weekend!
