Playing Pretend
I’m real sure I”m not a grown up. In fact, I’m really sure I haven’t grown up. If I was a grown up, I’m real sure my life wouldn’t feel like it was standing still. I wouldn’t feel like I live the same flipping day over and over and over and over and over and over…..
Yeah..anyway, I’ve made some goals for myself. They involve getting organized and getting my butt in school. I made some progress in the organization area. Last week, amid the lost keys that were never found and Tadpole’s father visiting, I managed to get my vacumn cleaner running and go through all the closets and drawers and get rid of all clothing and old “stuff” that we haven’t used in teh two years we’ve lived here. I’ve still got a few more things to go through but serious headway was made last week. There’s more carpet space if nothing else.
While I still have one dating website going, I’m not really dating. Getting my life in order and supporting my kids in their interests is really taking up my time. If a guy manages to fit himself in there…great. But right now, All the guys close to my age are looking at 20-somethings to date because they want their own kids and the guys five to ten years older don’t want to do the baby stage again as they have teens. It’s annoying and I’m tired of listening to “I want my own children” or “Too bad you have a baby”.
Time to just focus on me and the kids and getting us doing great.

Interesting post. I can see where the frustration level rises to a new height…I guess keep in mind that it is natural for folks to want to try to raise some littles ones of their own…but some folks aren’t afraid to be a part of some other childrens’ lives as well…

I have no problem with people wanting their own kids. I have problems with “I’d date you except you have children and I want my own kids”…..THAT is what pisses me off.
