Shawn- Don't worry about being the oldest one here. I don't see you as you put it "a old lady" The young man at 40 years old is Keanu Reeves.
Enjoy yourr Vacation

I have been so streesed this week that I'm afraid of the scale Monday. I get this way when I don't have total control over something or I don't have every thing planned.
As of today..hopefully..I can re-focus on things. I'm not changing colleges but I am changing majors and it still going to be just as challenging. I have taken several career and personality tests..they all say the same thing so I'm going to take more art classes and work on a deree in Graphic Design.

Everyone have a good day OP and I'll check back later

Hey Everyone,
Well Today started out rough but it got better. (I'm still not on program though) First of all my mom had set the alarm clock for 7 p.m. in stead of 7 a.m. So she woke up at 8 30 and was rushing around and woke me up. I had 1 hour to get ready and eat breakfast in that wasn't to hard but after I had got ready and had ate I wanted to make a snack for my class to eat today after the lesson I taught in Sunday school. So at 915 (I had to leave at 930) I decided to make cookies. So I made peanut butter cookies. it only took 8 minutes for them to bake. Well they looked good and I thought well this will be great a good lesson and a good snack. Well Me being rushed around and dumb this morning. Put the hot cookies into a container and put them in my bag. They was in one big ball by the time I got to church and I was ready to cry because I had messed them up. Well I taught my lesson we fixed the paper tree and the fruits of the Spirit and then I told them I had ya'll a snack to eat but it kindly messed up on the way over here so I'm sorry and you don't have to eat them if you don't want to. I had took Brownies I had made last night and the Peanut butter cookies ball lol. They ate every bit of both of the things and I didn't bring nothing back but about 5 crumbs lol. They all loved them and one of my best friends said "Jennifer, It doesn't matter that they messed up they were great and you can cook excellent. I was so happy lol. I'm glad that my friends liked the lesson and the messed up cookies Well I guess I had better go I've got to go and eat supper. so I guess I will see you all later on sometime. But the good thing about all this day I was out the door at 9 30 on the dot and at church by 9 45 so I got to practice my piano. I hope everyone's day wasn't as hectic as mine.

I am glad you had a good day in the end Jen. I was sure the lesson would go over well.

I have had a terrible week. My sweetie was sick for Valentines day. Not to mention that he still worked all week. Then was off on Saturday, I had to work. So he went to Nebraska with another of the singles from church, a woman. I wasn't happy about that and though I trust him, I didn't want her to think that there was going to be more with him. Know what I mean? So I told him I wasn't happy about it which he didn't understand why I was so upset. Moral of the story....I learn to keep my mouth shut and when something like that blows up in his face (as it has in the past) I won't be involved. Not to mention I have finance problems as well. He keeps helping me and so that is a contention. He is very savy when it comes to finances and can't understand why I am not. Never have been. But I am trying. Really. Then there is this guy at work that follows me and I guess I haven't discouraged him...after all it is an ego booster to have someone find you attractive even if you aren't interested in them. Lets face it I was a good and faithful wife for over 20 years, never ever flurted with anyone, had never been with anyone but my husband ever! So it is sort of cool to have guys out right tell me I am attractive and fun to be around. Well, Sweetie knows this cause I told him, not one to lie about things. So he feels that what we have really isn't what I want becasue I get jealous about things like saturday even though I trust him. He is just a helpful sort of guy and will keep helping people. That isn't the problem, it is just the people he ends uphelping are usually single women. which I handle much better than I use to, believe me! Anyway, as it stands right now....we won't be getting married unless I get over all this stuff. So I am a little and maybe you could advise me. I do love him very much. He thinks it is because I am taken care of and he is a rebound guy. I have known him for over 13 years and have always been attracted to him though when we met we were both married and never ever acted on any of our thoughts. HONEST! I have to admit I do feel safe and taken care of but I also love him, and like him and don't want him to change. I just wished he would have "asked" me about the Saturday thing. Realized it might not be a good idea and asked her to find someone she knew to go with her. This woman is just a single from the Sunday school class, don't know much more of her than that. They have never hung out before. That I am aware of. And she has other friends that she could have asked. I found that strange. But I am or was the girlfriend. Am I being to sensitive? I don't want to loss him. Please help.

Shawn-I'm not an expert at love..hence, one divorce and two bad relationships. All you can do it give it to God. If you two are truely meant to be together it will happen. The whole dating/love thing is a big job and it takes a lot of work from both parts. It is frustrating when one side doesn't realize what they're doing is not the right thing to do and is uncomfortable for the other. It is obvious that he knows how you feel. If he is not 100% dedicated to you ..maybe he's not the one You said that he was a rebound I'm so sorry you are going through this..if there is anything I can do don't hesitate to ask.Take care Shawn everything will work out for the best.

By the way..I weighed in this morning and I lost 4lbs

I hope you all have a good day. I'm off to work.

[guerita765]

That is wonderful...4 lbs! Wow!
No I don't think he is a rebound. I had a couple others in the mean time before we actually started seeing each other. He thinks he is a rebound. I was talking with a friend here and she suggests I get a part time job like at Hobby Lobby. I am thinking that would be a good idea. Besides giving me extra cash it would get me out more and not just sitting at home.
I know I need to put it (relationship) in Gods hands and I have.... quite often...I just keep taking it back afraid he will say No. Even though I feel sure we should be together. Maybe it is just wishful thinking. Any way, thanks. I appreciate the advice. I am going to give it a try. Maybe the next time I try to remove it from Gods hands he will slap me silly!
Take care and keep up the good work on your WW.
