Responsibilities to the “New Woman”

Those red flags fly more easy for some than for others. As I get more wisdom, and have learned to trust my own intuition…. that little voice doesn’t have to scream like it did when I was in my teens or newly divorced and starting to date again. 
 The last date I had…. in the last [...]

More Thoughts on Full Disclosure

How do you start off a relationship? I’m thinking of the x’s, not mine… and I know that his relationships are not my business, with the exception of how the other person interacts with my child…. you better believe Mama Bear will show up if that person is not good to her. She is old [...]

The Last Married Easter

I don’t remember why, but the x decided he was not going to spend Easter with the family. We had plans for the 3 (me, him, my daughter) to go to his parents for Easter, where all of his siblings would be with their families.
 My guess would be that he did not feel like he [...]

Sunday Scribbling – Fellow Travelers

We’re all going somewhere. Could be walking, riding a bike, driving in a car, riding in a train, flying in an airplane, we’re all going somewhere. Some of us talk to the person next to us, depending on where we are, some of us keep more to ourselves.
Does it really matter if we are [...]

Pretty Pictures

Have you ever met someone who had the perfect house, the perfect car, dressed nice, not to the 9s, but nice, every day? Things appeared just right!
I’ve known many people like this. I’ve even lived with people like this. I was becoming one of them. It’s scary to think that. Luckily I can say with [...]

Sunday Scribbling – The Date

Sometimes you just have to do things you really want to do, alone. Your friends aren’t available, or don’t have the same interest as you do, so rather than stay home, for another night, you venture out, to a new place, an unknown place, all by yourself. To see, to hear, to be among the [...]
