Contradiction

I've spent the past couple of days 'discussing' whether it is better to be married or single...with the wife of the gentlemen that told me he'd rather be married. She seems to think that it's better to be single. I have had to remind myself that she's never been single like I am single...that is, no spouse, no kids, living all alone. She has no point of reference. As angry as it's made me...it's also amused the heck out of me!!! {{Although, since the two of them seem to have differing opinions, maybe they need to talk!!}}

It has been a really rough weak at work...machines not working right...editorial not getting the pages to us on time...machines not working right...Jim not calling the boss sooner...machines not working right...AHHHHH!!!!!

I've got two nights off and I don't know what I'm going to do besides church group tonight...but I'm going to enjoy not being there!!!!

My first thought, when I read this, was......how old is this couple? how many children do they have? how old is the wife? how much does the husband participate in the "daily" chores, and child raising (if any), so many questions.

I have never lived alone, and even though, there are days, when I realize I would feel quite lonely, it is still something that appeals, probably due to the very fact that I never found out if I could do it on my own.

Plus, there are days, when it is quite blissful to imagine being responsible for no one but myself....we always seem to see life as greener on the other side of the fence......I am glad I have my children, happy that I was able to be a stay-at-home mom for so many years, but there are days, when we lose sight of ourselves as women....and thus we fantasize about the "perfect" life of being single.

Types of Friends

The other night, the friend that I watch tv and movies with was sharing something she had learned from a MOPS meeting. About the two different types of friends. Since that discussion, I've realized that there are at least 2 more types of friends and goofball that I am, I thought I'd share it all with you! Don't you feel lucky and special? :) 1. Mushroom Friends : These friends spring up over night and are in our lives just for a season. Kind of like the friends I made in school. The season is way over as I didn't even get Christmas cards from them this year [yes, I sent them cards]. 2. Oak Tree Friends : These friendships develop slowly, starting out small and laying down deep root systems. They last forever no matter how far apart the friends grow; time, distance, oceans and death cannot break the bond of friendship. They are the kind that years after being out of communication, if they heard you were in trouble {death in family, illness, etc...} they would drop stuff

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in
