I’m an empty nester. I got a puppy about 6 months before my last moved out and it really helped. I am not saying it was easy. I had to leave and go down the street when he moved his stuff out. I was sitting at the car wash crying lie a baby. I got through it and my son only lives in the next town.
I hope for grandchildren…
How about getting a puppy?
So how was the date?
It was fun, thanks for asking.
I’ve never looked at her as any kind of romantic possibility until last night. For years we were just 2 single parents who were friends and supported each other.
We went to a nearby city, since there really isn’t anything to do in our town. Hell the Dairy Queen here closes at 9:00! Had dinner, went to a comedy club, and then went out dancing. Originally, all that was planned was dinner. But it was a night that neither of us wanted to end.
The funnest part wasn’t the dinner or comedy or dancing, it was the 50 mile or so drive back home. We talked, laughed and told jokes. Listened to the radio and sang along. I will definitely be spending more time with her.
Funny how someone you can find that kind of chemistry with could be in your life for years and you don’t even know it.
ETA: And I’m pleased to let Cat Whisperer know that I didn’t drink a drop! (Except Dr. Pepper)
In fact, I think I’m going to call her right now and ask if she wants to come over for a movie.
Yay! She’s walking over here now! Got to do some quick straightening up so I’ll talk to y’all later!
See how fun not having any pesky kids around is? You guys can neck on the couch if you want and not have to worry about anyone walking in.
That does it, I’m going to tell my daughter she has to stop growing up right now! She’s only 1-year-old, but it’s best not to take chances with this sort of thing.
