Birthday Sex and A Dose of Reality

-
Ooooh, I got to see Owen today. I swear he's been on it lately. I didn't think he could get any better because as you guys are well aware, he is quite honestly the BEST sex I've ever had and I'm not working with a small sample here either. The last two weeks with him have been some of the best yet though. It's good timing...today was birthday sex. I turn 34 on Thursday (sigh). I may get to see him Thursday for lunch too, but it depends on a lot of perfectly choreographed timed events that may or may not come together on both our parts. The other good timing part is that this move is really making it all hit home for me. I'm in a funk.
Russell has been spending the night at the new house since Sunday. I love having my bed back to myself, except I've developed that stupid co-dependent sleep thing married people get. I have always loved sleeping alone in my bed. I rarely allowed men to sleep over before I got married because of this fact. Now, I'm finding it hard to sleep without him in the bed. Funny this, because I've spent so many years wishing he wasn't in that spot. Again, I'm not second guessing it...just hard to shift.
The other reality check I got was last night. Russell announced he wanted to take Chloe to the new house for a dry run of the new school routine. I found this incredibly stupid since it's going to take sooo long to get to and from the new house to her current school, but whatever. It got him out of the house this AM so that Owen could come over ASAP. Anyway when he was leaving with her last night...it totally hit home that one day that will be my life. Now mind you, I will be the PRIMARY custodial parent and chances are good if he gets promoted he won't even live here in the same state with us...but wow it smacked of reality. My answer to it...I had a beer and watched Reality Bites.

    I'm 1 month in and the reality still smacks me in the face from time to time. Today is our "switch" day and as I dropped the kids off at school, the reality that I won't see them again until Sunday. And yes, I've got dates booked for every night but still. It's weird and uncomfortable and doesn't feel natural.

    I know...she's MY baby. I've already established that she's with me on ALL major holidays and birthdays. I told him that on Jan. 26th out on the beach right after I told him I wanted a divorce. Now, I'm not going to lie that a small break from time to time seems pleasant b/c she does wear me out...but she's living with her mama...period.

Online Dating Duds

-
 After the Return of Sawyer debacle I went back to online dating and discovered a string of totally unsuitable and unappetizing guys but they gave me some good laughs. There was a friend of Peabody’s who remembered meeting me but I didn’t remember meeting him.   He was super conservative and a Trump lover but I went out with him out of spite just hoping it would get back around to Peabody.   We had a very unremarkable date in the small town I live in – again hoping someone would see me and get back to Peabody (I’m nothing if not a little petty).   We talked and he gave me a sob story about having a legit crazy ex-wife and wanted a lot of details about Peabody.   Gossip travels fast in this small town I suppose.   We kissed a little at the end of the night and it wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t anything to want to take your pants off about.   Then there was the vet, as in veterinarian, who was so old fashioned he didn’t have a cell phone – at least that’s what he told me.   But he als

Five months later

-
Here we are amost five months later. Jules is happily married and coping with Russell leaving the island. Gywn is bursting with pregnancy - shes having a boy! -and counting down the days till her hubby comes home. And Miranda, well Miranda is...happy. As strange of an emotion as she can imagine, Miranda is happy. Peabody has pulled out all the stops and completely committed himself to her. It's about damn time lol. Maybe fairy tales can cone true after all? Fate has taught Miranda to be cautious but she can't help feeling cautiously optimistic at the moment.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

-
It's another day in the neighborhood, won't you please be my neighbor? Ok, I date myself but I loved Mr. Rogers. So my new hood is rolling along nicely...I came home today to my new dog greeting me at my car, kids on my porch, and Gavin getting up to get me a glass of wine as I walked into the door. Then, the man did homework with my daughter. Homework is my least favorite time of the day and he totally rocked it. It was hilarious listening to him with her, but super cute too. I'll say it again...it doesn't suck to be me right now. I had to give Gavin some tough love tonight though and admittedly he took it better than expected. He continues to whine about what a horrible gf the gf is...I finally laid it out. I told him that I thought 99.9% of his current problems could in fact be traced back to her, that she's a toxic human being, etc, etc. (He did kind of ask...) I explained that I can actually remove myself and say this in an objective manner (hence why I'
