Sleeping single in a double bed with two kids, a cat and a gassy dog.
Parts of this article were good so I thought I'd share it and my thoughts on some of it.
I liked the idea of a day date but let it be known that I do not think this is a very realistic option for many people. A day date requires me to miss time at work so it's not something that I would make a habit of doing nor would I do it just for any ol' schmoe I meet.
It'd have to be a schmoe worthy of my PTO donchyaknow.
I also liked the idea of shipping kids out for a sleep-over instead of hiring a babysitter to come over for a few hours. My sister and I live just minutes apart and instead of getting sitters we usually have what we call "Kid Swap Weekends" where I get them all one night and she takes them the other. The kids love it and it gives her and I each a little break.
Even if all we do on our night off is go to bed and get a full night of uninterupted sleep.
Unrelated to the article, I was flipping through one of my many journals, this one gifted to me by the darling Diane *smooches*. Usually I name or theme my journals but this one is an absolute hodge podge of short random thoughts. The cover is of a little girl dancing with flowers in her hand and the words "The Best Is Yet To Bee" sketched across the front. When I flipped it open to a random page I found this:
"I'm smart.
People like me.
And gosh darn it I am too good to date uninteresting men."
That's my motto of the day and gosh darn it I'm sticking to it.
What would your motto be?

karma is important.
karma??? is that like chemistry? Because menopause takes the chemistry out of everything so you should factor that into any longterm planning.
Just kidding! Bwa-ha-ha-ha! 55 and just dripping phermones...
