Hi Jenny, You know I took the warm&fuzzy suit off a while ago. Doesn't mean I don't still have love for you :) I disagree with a point of your's. When we chose to accept the extrodinary responsibilty of being single with kids (and it was a choice,…

Thanks Jenny, the forum is "Ask a MAN anything" but don't let that stop you. All children need to learn about social interaction and how it works, it happens by example. If you inslulate your children from your love life they will never get a reali…

Why would I log onto my dating profile after I met a woman who I went out with 3 times and had sex with??? Because I'm not fully convinced that she is in to me as much as I am in to her. Women are always looking at men as being players when in toda…

I do not do this. The i am divorcing accused me this yet he does it. I have ran into two exs. One would bug me and I had it. The other who is married and I dated in hs wanted an affair. I told him there was a reason I broke up with him and his wife…

Because that man doesn't have a clue. If you gave him one he'd just stare at it until another nice set of legs walked by and then he'd be clueless again.

I don't get it either. I was with my ex for 10+ years... there's a reason it lasted that long, there's a reason I struggled so hard to end it, there's a reason I don't just send her letters through my lawyer. I picked her. She isn't who I want to be…

Oh, how there are branches on both sides of every tree! To answer your initial question, and I think you already know this answer. In general, people swing from one relationship to another because they are afraid to be alone. This is what results fr…

"Water seeks it's own level" or Why there is no point in dating as a custodial father right now.

I've been a custodial father for 21 months now. I have been "single" for 13 of those months. I am defining single as not dating anyone. Today I am not looking and it's kind of weird to say that and actually mean it. And the only reason that I believe myself when I say it is that I can't imagine how my life would be dating someone without the relationship either being a co-habitation with me needing to function co-dependantly (yuck) or I would be "seeing" someone. Seeing someone would involve a d… Continue

Punching In

I haven’t punched in for some time so I figured I might as well.

The past 2 months have been difficult but I’ve grown from the pain. The pain has been loneliness, and it’s been nailing me really hard in bed. I’ve been waking up at 3am and just absolutely losing it, having to meditate myself again into a relaxed state enough to sleep. Then waking up at my usual time feeling alone. One night it came on early, I was in the car with my kids, we were on our way home from a fellowship function and I… Continue

This more of a rant than a blog.

SO… I have been on a rollercoaster since Mother’s Day weekend. I’ve been battling depression and went to see a doctor who prescribed me an SSRI anti depressant. This made me feel like I was on acid. I was not okay with the feelings that came with the meds and I stopped taking it right away, however by a few days later I was depressed even more. A dead cat bounce I’ve been calling it (even a dead cat will bounce up if you drop it far enough). So I went back to the doctor and he put me on Welbutri… Continue

It's a Circus

Alas, No more morels. But there has been a flurry of animal activity on our pond. The frogs are chirping at night, the heron is out almost every day, we have two muskrats, a ground hog, a bunch of squirrels, 3 Canadian geese couples, as many ducks, both are having of already have babies. The GIANT snapping turtle that lives in our pond will enjoy that. Haley has made new friends in the neighborhood too. Wylie is a self-professed indoor kid.

I’ve been taking it all in, getting through life as it… Continue

God, why?

My daughter was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder yesterday afternoon (on top of her autism). She starts on anti-psychotics tonight, she's 10. Her behavior has been getting severe since she started her periods two months ago. I'm still in shock, I'm just trying to share it with the universe. I'm not sure yet what it's all about, how to feel, who to tell. What do I tell them, especially at school. There are regular blood draws she's going to have to have with these meds...

FUCK!!!!

Hi Don, Thanks for the request. I really like that Devo "Gut Feeling" was playing on your playlist when I was there.

Oh happy day... I just saw your face online! I hope things are going well. Are the kiddos back in school?

Life was rolling along, and *smack*, the universe bopped me on the head. Oh well, I guess live and learn. It is hard working out this custody with the ex. I'm trying to be fair and make concessions, but it would be really nice for him to reciprocate. Now I am trying to coordinate the kids school schedule, my school schedule, therapy appointments, and Brownie activities... I know you can relate!

Natalie is beautiful... I stopped by to say hello, and see her picture! How is life treating you?
At 1:07pm on July 21, 2009, uomeasmile (Kim) said…
Well, it sounds like a mixed bag. I'm sorry things didn't turn out exactly as planned... but such is life. Personally, Natalie sounds like the perfect girlfriend! I'm glad to hear that is going well. You have inspired me... I'm going to take up that hobby. My goal is to make the kiddos Halloween costumes this year! Hugs and love, Kim
