I just talked to HG. Had a nice conversation. He is going to be in my area next weekend and wanted to get together but I will be in Denver that weekend for work Darn it!
And I had asked dd's dad if he could watch her the weekend I am away and he said no problem with watching her on weekends now. Then when he was picking her up today he looked at the calendar and said "Oh no! That weekend!" Then he says don't worry, he'll work it out like last time. Oh yeah, like when she was passed from person to person.
Between these two things, I wish I was not going to Denver.

Congrats on all the dough you made, TB!!!

That's lousy timing! Sure you "must" be in Denver? No, I wouldn't want to leave DD with ex under those circumstances either. I hope something works out!!

Yup.

Hi all!
I just found this thread and after reading through every page I am hoping that I might post here from time to time if you all don't mind. I am a single mom with a 15 yo daughter. I am currently living with my DBF so I am not sure if that makes me eligible...but we are not married yet or even close to it.....and I know that things can change quickly. I am not even sure he is the one....or if there is the one.....but I keep hoping!

Alittle about myself:
I have been divorced for almost 2 years. I was married for 21 years to my high school 'sweetheart'. I am not sure exactly what or when it all went down hill but it seems that we just grew apart. It was mostly me growing and my ex staying in the past.....I returned to college when I was 38 and finished my degree and we moved from a small rural area to Denver.....new job, new friends....things just changed....

I've dated off and on and I feel all of your pain with the dating game! It sure is different dating after 21 years and dating as an adult sure is interesting! I've met great guys, and I've met jerks.....

Ok, I think I've gone on long enough....I hope you don't mind me
'butting'.....

Hi Vicki and welcome

GLad to have you join our group. Feel free to post whenever the urge hits you.

Vicki-
I just noticed you were going on the Panama Canal Cruise. You are so lucky. If dd6 wasn't in school, I would be going too.
I miss the Disney Cruise. I wish they weren't in CA next summer. Maybe I can pull dd out of school for a week in May and go on the western.

Thanks for the welcome legs22! I love the Disney Cruise Line! This June cruise was my second on DCL. I have been on 8 other cruises but DCL is still my favorite. When I heard about the Panama repo. cruise I just had to be on that ship! My daughter will miss a week of school too and I am hoping that it will work out. I figure they are taking finals that last week so I am going to talk to her teachers and see if we can work it out for her to take her finals early. I really want to go on the May repo. because she will turn 16 while aboard! What a way to spend your 16th birthday! The Aug. repo. cruise wouldn't work either because she would be back in school and miss the entire two weeks of school.

I see you are going to be in Denver. Sorry about the timing but welcome to your city nonetheless! Do you know where you will be while you're here?

Hi, Vicki! Welcome!!

Let's see...that's your daughter on the right...she's beautiful! And it must be you and DBF on the cruise? Nice pictures!!

 

[legs22]

Thanks for the welcome. I will be at the Westin Tabor Center on Lawrence St. Looking forward to a view of the Rockies.

 

[legs22]

The only DCL western in May 2005 is on May 7. Then the Magic goes to CA. Mother's Day is May 8. Would it be rude if I was on a cruise on Mother's Day instead of with my mother?

 

[Pin Wizard]

Not in my book, Leggs! If she's upset about it, invite her along?

 

[legs22]

I cannot share a cabin with her (see the vacation with your parents thread) and she doesn't have any money to afford her own.

 

[floridaminnie]

Welcome Vicky Also a jealous one here that you are going on the rep cruise. Your DD is going to have so much fun turning 16 on her cruise.

Leggs...celebrate Mother's Day early with your mom. It make it a special cruise with DD then.

PW {hugs} on being lonely....I'm one that think that it'll kill you too. There are some places that friends and kids just cannot fill. And it's not about not having nothing to do, it's missing all the other stuff.

Hi everyone! Happy Monday, if that is possible!

Pin Wizard~Thanks and yes you have it correct on who is who in the photos. As for my daughter I think she's kind of cute too lbut then of course I might just be a little biased! I wanted a recent photo but did not have one of all three of us together so I had to improvise.

A sad part of being divorced besides actually being divorced is if you have kids you will never be with their father and no one will love them or tolerate them like their real dad. DD and DBF just seem to tolerate each other....not really connecting like I would like them to. And DBF doesn't have kids so he doesn't really understand the issues especially issues with a 15 yo girl! He was raised in a family of all boys...strict Catholic parents so he has no idea about todays kids...teens or girls. Sometimes this is a serious issue with us. One reason being that I am and have always been more permissive then he is used to....I believe that you protect your children from harm but there is a time that you have to let them make their own mistakes and learn from those mistakes.

legs22~ I know exactly where you'll be staying. It's a nice hotel and there is a lot to do around that area when you're not working. The Rockies are beautiful this time of year. Still some snow on the tops but green.

I am very excited for the repo cruise! I just keep my fingers crossed that it will really all work out and we will be sailing for 14 days!

I hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks, Suzanne. It's definitely what's missing. Right now I'd love to hold a hand. Such a little thing I've taken for granted in the past, but wow! Lately it really means a LOT!

Happy Monday! The other day I was telling DS who is 11 years old that he looked beautiful...he had just gotten eyeglasses. He objected to the word "beautiful!" Said that girls are beautiful. I told him that all Moms think their kids are beautiful whether they are boys or girls. I had to switch to cute and handsome.

Welcome, Vicki! I'm Melinda, divorced with a 3.5 year old dd (that's her pic under my username....and that's my pic in my siggie, haha).

So what's everyone up to today? DD was with her father over the weekend and I am SO HAPPY to have her back! I hate it when she's with him. She's been with him every other weekend for the past year and a half and I STILL cry every Saturday night she's not with me. Is that normal?

Have a great Monday!

 

[Pin Wizard]

Ha ha ha! That's your pic, Melinda?

I bet you and DD are very close. Of course you miss her when she's gone! She's adorable!!

 

[floridaminnie]

Hello Melinda and welcome! YOur DD is adorable. I know when DD goes to her father's I try to keep myself busy, but it's hard. She's doesn't go on a regular basis. She hasn't seen him since the end of May actually. He's choice. He didn't even call on her b-day yesterday which completely dumbfounds me. He's one of those that are a father only when it's convient. And it must be hard for you with her being so young. But I don't think it gets any easier though.

 

[legs22]

Went to dinner tonight with friends because one friend is moving to Atlanta and I had 3 Cosmosplus part of a dessert martini that contained godiva chocolate liquer. A friend commented on how much I drank after we left Usually, if I have a martini, I only have one.
I guess it was because I wasn't driving plus I had a hard night Sunday emotionally and didn't get any sleep.
Last night I wrote out dd's birthday party invitations and she handed them out at camp today. When I picked her up she said I wrote June 24 on some of them for the party date. Sure enough, I did. Not enough sleep!

Welcome to the group, Melinda!

Anyone have advice on a good, effective rain-dance? We're seal-coating the driveway at work, and if it rains, the sealing project will be postponed (translation: I won't have to do it)

Anyone heard from MickeysDisneyPrincess lately? I know she was having some computer problems, guessing they're still happening.
