Met a guy - sort of
| Wed, 01-10-2007 - 5:03pm |
Actually, he's not a guy I'd be interested in dating, at least not anytime soon, but he seems nice and someone I wouldn't mind hanging out with.

He does sound nice. I am not sure if you want advice. But my only advice is to keep it casual for now - meaning don't spend too much time together - just a little bit. It is great that your dd's got along so well.
His story is sure sad. Keep us posted.
It could work out to be very good, you know!
How is your job search going?
It's good that you've met someone. It doesn't matter that he's not a potential date- it wouldn't matter if it were a woman, as long as you're meeting new people. He might know someone perfect for you, he might turn out to be a great friend, and at the very least you had an enjoyable outing, and your daughters both had fun.
Every meeting doesn't have to be with a potential date or partner- everyone can use more friends!
Good for you.
Moody, with many male friends who will never be more

Ice cream for dinner is a fabulous thing!! Not that we do THAT every night but when DS and I were in Europe, I let him have a huge banana split for dinner. The look in his eye said it all.
Keep us posted on this new friendship!! Sounds like it is good fun for both of you and the kids.
OMG, that sounds horrible! Being an L&D RN, i can only imagine what happend ... & i assume if the baby is so ill with round the clock care, it must have been something horrible in childbirth. Gives me the goosebumps!
Sounds like he could use a good friend though...
I received this message in an email today from a dear friend (we all need a few of these kinds of people in our lives-male and female) and this post just prompted me to share it.(I have two older children 18 and 15 and then an 8 year old. The two older are way past the stage that I can do most of this stuff with but I feel good that I did when they were younger and now I take this concept and apply it other ways. They may not understand the hidden meaning right now but when they become parents they will :-). I love my kids more than life itself but am sometimes still guilty of letting everyday life get in the way and I am going to post this on the refridgerator at home and on my desk at work to help to remind me what is really the most important things in my life.)
"TO MY CHILD(REN)"
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.
And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............
That's cool, Liz! I think we can all use an unlimited number of good friends, both male and female. I have some good male friends, but unfortunately they all live miles away now (since I moved 'back home' after my divorce). And it's probably really good for him to find some friends, too. Especially a fellow parent- who can understand what being a parent (and single parent, too) is really like.
How sad for him to have lost his wife that way, and to still be wearing the ring. He's definitely not date-able material right now, but with all the kidlets, you guys could probably find some fun times with playdates.
