I ended up having a great weekend..... even though my usual babysitter, my brother, went out of town.... Friday night I paid for a sitter from 10 - 2 am... expensive but i had a coworker going away party to go to.... Before the party, Jimmy texted me asking if i was coming out.... He's starting to show real interest lately.... I hung out at karaoke with Summer and Reba til midnight. Jimmy was working but came over to say hello before i left for the party.

Coworker party... fun. I went to a place i've never been before. Mingled with the usual coworkers... but that coworker who's leaving.. hmmm.... i should get risky and get a kiss out of him before he leaves... don't cha think... i didn't on friday because he's still at work this week.. But there's another going away party this week as well.. and he said he'd be there....

Saturday, i was bored at home.... missed another coworker function because i didnt' have a sitter... BUT i took the children to the park because it was a beautiful day.

Sunday, by this time i was tired of staying home... my brother wasn't planning to get back from out of town til 2 am.... so i started thinking "how about a late night card game with friends".... I sent out my first ever text "to many" asking who was interested in a Spades game.... Jimmy replied that he was interested... and so did TeddyBear and Reba.... Yay, party at my house after the children go to bed.... Reba came over early as i cleaned the house..... The children went to bed without any trouble (i used to have card games when i was married all the time).... Reba's husband showed up, too...

Bummer... Jimmy and TeddyBear changed their mind and didn't want to show up.. Jimmy wanted to go home from work to shower and Teddybear didn't want to drive.... i think teddybear was disappointed because he thought it was only going to be me and him... gosh, how many times do i have to tell him i only see him as a friend.

But i didn't despair.... i went down my "men" list and texted GoofyGuy.... and let me tell ya... he came over and i had a good time!!! a goofy time!!!... i told him to bring snacks and he did, too.... lol.... We played a game of spades... Goofyguy didn't know how to play but we taught him.... then after Reba and her husband went home, it was just Goofyguy and me.... We made out.....yippy... i told him, i was beginnning to think you didn't think of me other than a friend.... and he replied something about thinking the same thing. I guess i am more subtle than i realize... Then, i couldn't stop laughing... i got the giggles.... Goofyguy said, you are more goofy than i thought you were.... i guess, i just like to laugh when i'm enjoying myself... I told him that he should call me up and actually do something... he said, you mean like a date... and i said, yes, exactly like a date... we'll see. Things didn't go any further than kissing and it was time for him to go home... We both didn't work til 2 pm today. He's also in the Navy. 28 yrs old.

Loonybunny - still giggling about last night.....

Alright - keep us posted about goofyguy. I don't think you are crazy - you are getting out and having fun and working that around the kids. A happy mom is a good mom. Hopefully your brother is coming back soon - a "live-in uncle" seems to be a good thing for you. I like your spirit and how you would have a card game at the house after the kids went to sleep. That shows persistence and perseverance!!
