If you couldn’t tell from my last post about disciplining kids, dating with children can be tough (forget about being married with children!). Well, James and I finally had a fight about it. And I don’t know what to do.  (more…)

I finally saw James again. I’d been waiting so long to do it and I don’t know why. Now that I finally have it makes my decision a little harder. Our date began over coffee. We went to a small shop I’d never been to. When I entered, James was sitting at the table and had his hand cupped over something I couldn’t see.

After lunch with Kurt, I didn’t know what to think. I feel so comfortable with him, but could he understand how life was for a single mom? Could he understand my kids?

I finally had lunch with Kurt, even though it was conflicting with James. It was great to finally sit down and be with someone, instead of just moping and worrying. But our date wasn’t perfect…

I had lunch with Kurt today- but first, I had to deal with something else. Yesterday, I finally wrote James back and told him that I’d be free whenever he wanted to meet. Guess which day he chose?

Last week, James told me that he’d eventually find time to contact me. And, hopefully, for both of us to get together again. I was so wrapped up in my next date with Kurt that I forgot James would even be contacting me. Well, he did. And he sounded better than I expected.
