After James wrote me to propose a date with the kids, I had a tough decision to make. Would I agree to it? Or would I tell him I wanted to wait? I want my children to have fun, but it’s also important for me to provide them with stability. I just don’t know how long James will last. Read the rest of this entry →
Things are moving so quickly! Today I wrote back Kurt, my online dating dance partner. And I didn’t mention James. I know that I should be more mature about these things. People go on so many dates, these days, that one date with James isn’t a big deal. But it feels that way since I’ve had so few in the past few years. But I still sat down to my keyboard and logged into Match.

I don’t believe it. Here I hadn’t had a date in a few years (being a full time mom), and after my date with James, something very interesting has happened. It happened right after my phone call with him last night… Read the rest of this entry →
James and I have been very lucky. Or at least I have! I was worried about when to call my date (if you think I was acting like a teenager, then don’t worry. I was just as embarassed!). Well, last night, James called me. His son just went to sleep, so he decided he’d see if I was awake. Fortunately, I was. I made some chai and sat down to get to know him a little better.

When I was a girl, we learned etiquette. We made sure to have good posture, a bright smile, and always say please and thank you. I’ve tried to teach my children the same thing. But one thing I don’t know about etiquette is how to behave well online- when should I reply to James’ last message? Read the rest of this entry →
I know what you’re thinking- I’m a wimp for not immediately writing Pete back about our date. Well, you’re right. Today I took another OKCupid test (addiction index: equivalent of coffee). The test said that I have a serious problem with pulling the trigger. So today I decided to be a power girl and ask out my new find… Read the rest of this entry →
My son’s team won! Yesterday, I had to dash away from my date in order to get to the field on time (I should mention he plays indoor soccer, of course- it would be too cold for anything else!). Once I got there, the second half had already started. He plays fullback, so he doesn’t get up front very much. But he had a few amazing kicks! Read the rest of this entry →

I finally met my Match suitor! I was worried about dating with kids, but he told me something very interesting. Before we went out to have a cup of coffee, I didn’t drop the bomb. But after five minutes, I was glad I waited. James sat across from me and, very matter of factly, said that he’d been keeping a secret too. Guess what it was? Read the rest of this entry →
The last time I wrote here, I was worrying what to do about dating and kids. I’m ashamed to say it, but things didn’t go as I had planned. After I wrote the blog, my youngest started crying. She was playing with the water faucet and accidentally burned her hand. By the time I returned downstairs, I was so flustered that I completely forgot about the message. And then this morning, I woke up to find a new message from my Match suitor…

Well- that was quick! I recently posted my Match profile and didn’t even fully fill it out when I received a message from a nice man. I was nervous. I looked around the room to see if anyone was watching. Then, I let my cursor hover over the link. Finally, I clicked to read what it said.

Hi everyone! I hope you aren’t as exhausted as I am. This weekend I not only went to two soccer games, I also managed the oranges. For those of you who aren’t moms, the oranges are very important. And they aren’t for cocktails- they’re for kids. All the other parents love to critique your orange cutting skills and make sure their children are well fed. Needless to say, I spent at least forty hectic minutes cutting them up. I just smelled my hands- they still have orange on them!

I know I’m supposed to be doing my little introduction, but first can I just tell you something? I am sitting at this coffee shop (ok, “tea lounge“) and there’s a guy sitting next to me. He’s a surfer boy- long blonde hair, great shoulders, you know, the usual torture.
But every once in a while, I see him reach up and pick his ear. Is that ok? Why is nose-picking so bad, but all the straight boys think that they can dig in their ear without anybody noticing? Read the rest of this entry →
