Dating With Kids

Ok, I did not really think that we would be able to get together this weekend. I had hoped that I would be proven wrong. He passed out each night he was home in front of the TV with his son. I know that is what is best. We are the best of friends and are always there for each other. It is just difficult when you want to see someone and it does not happen.

I went out last night and hung out at my local bookstore. I grabbed a book and read for a couple of hours. I also enjoyed a nice Café Mocha. It wasn’t much, but it helped to keep me sane in the stress that I am feeling. I need to be strong. I am strong. I just need to remember that.

I am having one of those stressful days. Yes, I know it seems like I am having these types of days more often. It is just the nature of the beast. I have yet to see my boyfriend, who is in town. I’m not sure if he will call tonight to see if we can catch up. I know that he is leaving tomorrow. That’s annoying me.

My grandfather is doing bad again. So, everyone leaves to go upstate to take care of things. I know that this is something that must happen. My problem is that I feel so alone. It is like I have no one to lean on. I think I am just being dramatic today. I am feeling down and letting my emotions and thoughts go with it. This is never a good thing for me to do. Hopefully my day gets better from this point on.

I went out last night after spending Thanksgiving with my family. I made sure that my daughter was happily in bed and sound asleep. I did not feel guilty that I wanted to go to the bar. I just got dressed, did my makeup and left. I went to a small bar down the street from my house. My boyfriend is in town from Atlanta for the weekend. His bosses ended up telling him that he could stay down all weekend. He was not able or interested in going out last night.

Funny part is that I ended up hanging out and drinking with his neighbor and brother. It wasn’t planned that way. We all live very close to each other and therefore hang in the same bars.

I was all excited. My boyfriend that is working in Atlanta was coming home for four days for Thanksgiving. I was going to get to see him and spend some time with him. Then I talked on the phone with him yesterday.

It seems that he got an email that he has to work Saturday and Sunday.  He is going to have to drive up to PA to spend Thanksgiving with his son. After he does that, he will have to turn right back around and head back to Atlanta to work. This is so frustrating. I know that if he does not do this that he will lose his job. It just is not fair. Of course, who ever said that life was fair.

As we approach Thanksgiving, it is time to think about how you are going to handle the holiday in regards to the person that you are dating. All people are different when it comes to the idea of how much time they should spend with the person they are dating on Thanksgiving. The amount of time also depends on how long you have been dating the person. You have many options to choose from in this regard.

You can spend Thanksgiving with your family. This is usually the best overall option. This way the person that you are dating can spend the day with their family as well. The two of you can go on a date Friday or Saturday.

You can split the day between the two families’ houses. If you have been dating the person that you have been with for a while, this will probably be the option that you will want to follow.
