Heads or Tails: Three
I am struggling to find something positive to post about that fits the theme this week. I’m finding it difficult because I’m distracted by the thought that in three days I will mark the three-month-anniversary of The Breakup. But surely there is something else, something positive, that comes in threes to talk about. How about the three things I’ve learned…
1. I only have to charge my cellphone once every three days now because I don’t talk to him for three hours a night anymore.
2. I can stop checking my email three times every hour because he isn’t going to write to me. And even if he did, he wouldn’t say what I need him to say.
3. I still want what I want, so I should start looking for someone else who will give it to me. Unlike him, though, I’m not just looking for a fertile place-filler (how ugly does that sound, and how insignificant did he make me feel?). I want someone with the right personality, who will laugh with me for years to come. I have a feeling it’s going to be another three-decade search.
is a meme brought to you by Skittles (who posted a bit early this week)!

I know it might be a wishy-washy sentiment, but all things happen for a reason. We might not know the reason. We might not instantly like the reason. We might think the reason really sucks. In the end, though, choices are made. Are they made in accordance with fate? I like to think so, to a degree.
Hey, it’s late and I’m tired and the baby won’t sleep. I just ate 13 crackers with Nutella on them. If this doesn’t make sense, that’s why!

It’s really hard to find that person who you are meant to be with. I used to wonder if it was all worth it, but it is. I wish I knew what to say to make you feel better.

Break-ups suck! I’m so sorry you’re struggling right now.

You know it does suck right now….but one day the light will go on..and you will wonder why you hurt so much in the first place..but now if you are feeling blue..then feel blue…just remember there is still life out there.
I was reading your other post about your brother…I am dyslexic…and I passed that onto my youngest daughter…the good thing for her is that we were able to get her help. She ended up going to a private school that specializes in teaching children with dyslexia….as for me when I was growing up they called my lazy and in attentive…oh gosh if we had only known what we know now…I struggle with it everyday…but I managed to graduate and get myself through nursing school, my specialty in nurse and now my degree…so it will never go away…we just learn strategies to deal with it. I have come very dependant on spell check….

I don’t think they’re serving donuts anymore but we can still run up to Canada and get married. – Just trying to make you smile.

I know how you feel, if there is anybody out there. I’m wondering too. Let’s keep our chins up. Everybody seems to be partnered up; we can be too.

The right one for you is out there, don’t give up hope. He’ll find you when you least expect it!

I am sorry that you are hurting right now. I hope you have a pleasant Tuesday and things will get better.
December 4th, 2007 at 9:35 am
Well, I hope you start feeling better about things…
Mine’s list is up.

One of the nicest things about blogging is happening right here.. Understanding and support from people you’ve never met. Almost any man can fertilize and lord knows they try often enough. It takes a real man to simply accept.
December 4th, 2007 at 10:48 am
((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) to you. I hope your pain eases soon. You WILL find that right person – just know that in your heart.

been there, done that. you can make it. things are given at the right time. just hang in there. = )

Kudos to you for at least trying to find three positive things out of a very negative situation. Time heals all wounds….
Happy Tuesday

I’m sorry. I also hope it’s not a three-decade search for you to find someone who deserves you.
December 4th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
Oh I definitely understand where you’re coming from… But you’re so right, any man who refers to you as “fertile place-filler” doesn’t deserve your attention.
Happy H/T :P

Ah, well, relationships! Hard to figure out sometimes. Sounds like he doesn’t deserve you though. You go girl! do things that you ENJOY. take care of yourself. Pamper yourself. You need it :-) I’m sure you’re going to come out of this like a new beauty, you sounds strong enough :-) and when you do, your man, he with a big H, will adore you….
Happened to me…!

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this right now…things will get better! You don’t need someone like that. More than likely you’ll find the person you’re meant to be with when you’re least expecting it…at least that’s what seems to be the trend with my friends.

I am not going to offer you any platitudes but to tell you that I am on my third marriage and it is the best. I thought each of the others would be the best but third has been the best by far. So I guess my message is don’t give up. By the way I remarried when I was 59 so life doesn’t end when they go away, it is just a paradigm shift for us.
