they think I am hopeless, lol
I had plans on Thursday night to go out with a friend of mine for a few games of pool and a drink. I came home and fed the girls and then went and changed. When I came back out, Amanda asked me "Mommy, is this a date?"
I laughed a little and told her no, it was not. That he was just a friend.
Then Emilee says "Mamma, you need a date."
"Why do I need a date baby?"
Emilee looked at Amanda and then said "because if you don't go on any dates, then you'll never get married and find us a new father."
Now, I know many people don't agree with me, but I am not really interested in coddling my daughters in this respect. I don't think that they are missing out on anything. They have everything needed to create a happy and healthy childhood. I have told them before that they are lucky to have what they have and I stand by that. There are a lot of children in abusive households, children without food, and most importantly children who aren't wanted and loved. Just because their father is an absolute idiot doesn't mean that they need a new one. These are the cards that they were dealt so I have no intention of running out and shopping for a new 'daddy'. If and when I do get together with someone else it will be because I love him and he is good for all of us. Not to fill some alleged empty spot in our family.
I smiled at them and told them that I wasn't in any hurry to get married but thanks anyway. They looked at each other and rolled their eyes as they often do when we have this little chat. I am just the uncooperative mom that doesn't date for their entertainment. I never have. Since the day that NY walked out my door, my daughters have never seen me dating a man. I turned to walk out of the room and Amanda says, almost under her breath, "if she waits much longer then all the good ones will be gone."

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
