Happy Easter Weekend everyone... I hope that you all had an enjoyable one... if it was your holiday, I hope that you were blessed with lots of wonderful memories... if it was your x's holiday, I hope that you enjoyed yourself and still wound up with memories to treasure...

It has been such a rough month around here... with my grandfather suffering a heart attack about a month ago (he's 94, recovered and at home now), my dog being sick (his bloodwork came back well last week and it looks like the $1000 I've spent on him this past month has been well worth it as he is doing well...), a virus coming through the family and hitting Joey and making him sick for a full week, to then get me and have me down and out for a week, to also get my xmil and now my Mom... I'm still not fully better yet... stuff still tastes funny and I just don't feel there yet... top that off that xh has advised that he is engaged now to ow... I can't say that I was surprised with the news and I do hope that it works out for them this time (is a second marriage for both--and she claims to not want to do the "step-mom" thing, as she puts it)... but I'm acutally OK with the news...

The holiday though, has hit me hard... it is the thing I loved the most... the family gathering for holiday... and we did that today... it was me and Joey with xmil, fil, bil's and xh's aunt.... it just felt odd today... or maybe I was just wishing I was somewhere else, or that my mom, too sick to get off the couch, would have been there... I feel like I need to get myself back out there doing something, but with as hectic as this past month has been and with my sheer level of exhaustion, I don't know where to find the time... I did call an old friend to chat today, but feel like I need more... any ideas on getting yourself back out there again? I'm not even sure what I'm looking for right now, just a chance to meet some new people, I suppose... I know ~if~ I met anyone, I would want just for fun, nothing serious, so I could have some fun.... ugh, anyway, I've rambled... any thoughts?

*hugs*

ICK.... it sounds like you've all been around the blah block!.... and I hope that everyone is on the road to feeling better!


I tell ya.... it's not easy to get out there.... I mean, finding time to work and parent is TWO full time jobs!... and finding time to "date" around all of that (since we don't want to include our kids at that stage of the game) just seems like an unimaginable thing.... but I'm wondering if I want to date... I mean... I do... but I don't.

HUGS! I was feeling very blah yesterday, too. Depressed over the fact that I didn't get to see my son on Easter. We celebrated on Friday, but I didn't get the chance to make my very fancy Easter pancakes yesterday morning :(
