No Date Since 2002 Cont'd
This is a continuation of this post. From about Oct/Nov 2002 through Nethan's birth in June 2003 and through 2004 time was largely spent in being pregnant and then in relishing as many moments as I could in being his mother.
Longtime readers know Nethan has had GI issues since just about birth that have consumed a great deal of energy and time and of course money. Besides waiting for doctor appointments and tests,energy and time was spent on the Internet learning as much as I possibly could about GI issues as well as neurological stuff. I actually dropped out of a PhD program I was spending so much time researching Nethan's symptoms and worrying about them. So there really was not only no interest in dating there was no emotional availability.
2005 was spent in preparing to move to Hawaii (landed here June) and of course then getting a job and place to live. This year we have the death of my beloved grandmother, surgery, changing jobs, and the recent move which was about as close as you can get but still a great deal still to be done. So the guy in 2002, the last guy I dated... he freaked out because he was closer in age to my parents than myself. Really it was no great loss. It was the second date. At some point along the line I came up with a rule for myself that gave every guy who was a decent human being three dates. At least I think that is what happened. I can point to no other strong reaction that last evening besides that moment and I never heard from him again. Like I said, it isn't as though it was a terrible loss and it wasn't even one of the stranger reasons someone stopped seeing me. The strangest reason for stopping seeing me has to be the guy (he told the mutual friend who set us up this reason) who stopped seeing me because I didn't have Bryceton circumcised. No, I kid you not.Yes he was culturally Jewish but not religiously Jewish. Still I guess it makes sense on some level but all I could do was laugh (Still DO!)
Bottom line or at least a line, I never ever truly thought I would end up a single mother to one son let alone two sons. And nope, I didn't and don't want to stay a single mom forever.
So yes the requirement to have two posts between blogitive posts is going to necessitate some additonal blogging which brings me to the idea of the standard old 100 Things about me that I never have gotten around to writing in over two years of blogging. Kudos and thanks to
