I am still single because I wasted too much time with a stringer. Never again.

I'm single because I don't want someone up in my hair 24/7. I have my kids 24/7 and they keep me plenty busy without someone else demanding more time!


Of course, I fit in some time with Hiker... but you all know it's not an everyday kind of thing. I'm just not sure if I have the energy for that.

Ive been single for almost four years. In that time ive only been in 1 LTR which lasted 1 year. The guy was everything my ex-husband was not and everything that I thought I wanted. However, I was still in love with my ex and the relationship ended very bad. For the first 2 years I sowed my wild oates (My ex-husband was the first guy I ever had sex with and was my first boyfirend) I dated 2-3 men at a time and slept around. Though I thought thats what I wanted because I didnt do it when I was younger, it wasnt. Now Im looking to settle down with a sweet guy. Why am I single. I cant seem to find that sweet guy! No really Im single because

Here is a copy/paste for you the next time you get that question. Since when is "single" derogative?

Let's see - this wasn't that hard (somehow I am in a slap happy mood tonight - we have had craziness here today and I might still be high on the endorphins from a really hard bike ride my coach gave me today)

1. I love ruling my roost from sunup to sundown.
2. I love balancing the checkbook to the penny and having really high credit with no one to mess with it or make either one of goals those difficult. I love the way I budget my money.
3. I love planning my vacation totally the way I want it - where I want to go - when - how much to spend, what to do.
4. I love shopping online and having a lot of boxes show up with no one to ask me why or how much.
5. I love not having a mother in law who pisses me off and enjoys making a stressful marriage more stressful.
6. I love planning goals for myself without anyone to belittle me or get in my way.
7. I love designing everything in my house without input from someone else.
8. And I love having two dogs - because I wanted two huge dogs - and didn't have to ask permission or explain myself.
9. I enjoy the one on one time I have with my son - and when he invites a houseload of kids - and I love all the stuff I bought him without question that I might be spoiling him. And I love our healthy banter at 9PM at night when he should be studying and is playing with his phone and he says he knows everything on the study sheet and when I quiz him - he does!

I love my life and being in charge of it. I am selectively single. When I pick up my kid from school and see the married moms, sometimes I feel sorry for them. I do admit that! LOL!!
