20 degrees this morning, and supposed to go back down to 16 degrees tonight! What the heck!?? DS6 is here at the office with me. I swear - it seems like EVERY Monday someone is sick! He had a 101 fever this morning, no other symptoms, but he’s not supposed to go to school with a fever.
Weekend recap … well, as I wrote Saturday, SBFF is doing well. She is still in the hospital, and she actually isn’t in a rush to get home, she feels good about everything she is doing there. She is on new meds and learning about her condition, etc.
Kids slumber party went well Fri-Sat. Saturday afternoon I did 30 min treadmill and 30 minutes or so of yoga/pilates, which I have determined is a great pre-date workout because it just makes you feel sexy and strong. Saturday night I did go on my date. It was … a mess, sort of. I drank wayyyy too much. I am not a drinker to begin with, and it shows! 3 mudslides later, I was saying and doing the stupidest stuff. And I had to sober up, so I was at his house until 5 am. He offered a place to stay but I REALLY didn’t want to do that. So I was finally okay at that point, drove home, and he texted me to make sure I got home okay which was nice. So, now what? I HATE DATING. As everything progresses and each date happens, the confusion evolves into another situation, it doesn’t go away. (I am literally cringing at remembering some of the things I said … including, but not limited to, how many weeks and days it has been - exactly - since I last had sex. Omg. And not that ANYONE is wondering - lol - but just in case
I didn’t have sex with him, lmao. Am I allowed to say that here? Btw, that wasn’t even the worst thing I said!) I actually emailed him last night to apologize for my behavior, which of course he said not to worry about at all … but I don’t really know where things stand now. And not just because I drank too much - he did as well. Just not sure.
Okay, so now what? I also need to branch out a bit. I cannot put all my eggs in one basket.
Sunday … was interesting. I slept 3 hours, then it took me TWO HOURS to get out of bed and get dressed to go pick up the kids. You know - the “I-am-never-drinking-again” horrible feeling. My MBFF was texting me and the phone’s vibrations were making me nauseous, it was THAT bad. Weird. Finally, later in the day, I did manage to go food shopping and get all the laundry done, mop all the floors, etc. Exercise day off. I have all my dinners planned this week, which is good. Kids go down to XH Friday.
Today’s Menu:
B: Rice Krispies, half banana, couple sliced strawberries, 1% milk
S: 100 cal yocrunch*
L: LC Panini
S: Apple
D: Roasted chicken, carrots, baked sweet potato
Exercise: Firm DVD, something with weights
*Yesterday I was so excited to find these little 100 calorie cups of YoCrunch … you know, the yogurt with the yummy toppings. I got cheesecake with graham cracker crumbles. They also had strawberry, and a vanilla with choc chip crumbs. Will let you know how they are!
Will weigh in tomorrow. I am pretty sure I drank a weeks worth of calories Saturday night. Ughhh, shameful. He put vanilla haagen daz in the mudslides.
I’m hoping boss tells me to take off with the little one early today. He is so good though … sitting on my laptop playing Nick Jr games.
Okay ladies, have a wonderful start to your week!

Yes, I hate dating too. The diff bewteen you and me is at elast you are trying so good for you!
The cups I get are Jello sugar free rice pudding.
Don’t be susprised at the scale this week. You might get lucky with the fat fairy, but if you aren’t.. you’ll know why.
Well if the guy holds your nerves against you, his loss. But, if you do it again with him.. he may not be as gracious

LOL…sorry, but your story made me laugh! I am the same with alcohol. Which is funny, because I used to be able to drink alot when I was much younger…LOL
Hmmmm…well, I guess, you had a good time then, right? and even after all the sex talk, he didn’t force himself on you…even though you were all drunk…so maybe he is someone to keep around. Awe…don’t worry about how you acted…I am sure it is worse in your mind then it really was.

I don’t miss dating or alcohol induced verbal faux pas!!! It’s all good though. I doubt you will drink that much again for a while!
Glad SBFF is doing so well!

Even if you acted as embarrassing as you think you did, you won’t be the first person on the face of the earth who let nerves get the better of her and had one mudslide too many. Maybe next date plan as a nonalcoholic one–go to the theatre and perhaps coffee!!
And yes, horses are a lot of work–like anything I supposed. I saw a saying once, “Horses don’t have Owners, they have Staff. I’m the Diva staff, that’s for sure!

Oh… i can totally relate to a night like that. It is why I hate drinking anymore. I can even embarrass myself with dh by saying horribly embarrassing stuff! I am sure it wasn’t as bad as it seems in your mind!
Our school won’t take the kids with temps either. I kept ds home two days last week for the same thing, then the school gets upset because they have missed school. Sometimes you can’t win! I hope he feels better soon, with three kids and yourself, odds are good someone will be ill on a Monday!
I hope your next date goes better. I am SO GLAD that I am not dating! I hated it the first time around. If something ever happens with dh… I am going to take a vow of celibacy and become a nun!

Sometimes dating is fun if you just think of it as a way to meet new people and go out. That’s on those occasions when it doesn’t suck
Take it from an old drinker, always have a BIG glass of water after every drink. Or maybe two glasses. Maybe even three, in your case. Maybe even pick something less yummy to drink? At least he sounds as if he was nice about it.
