Hey:) I am ok, so don’t worry. It is just so many people have left in a fashion that has struck me as sad. Today my closest friend on here left with no warning. I didn’t actually expect to see him on here for a while, if ever, but I never expected to be removed from his friends list. I don’t converse with him much, but he has always been a person I held dear to my heart. Even if I didn’t hear from him for months it would not bug me, but there was something about see my name removed from my list that made me break down in tears. I can’t explain why. It also made me realize it is time for me to leave. I can’t possibly put my trust in anyone in the virtual world again. I suspect he is still my friend and I am being overly dramatic. He is not the cause of my leaving here, but he just reminded me it is time to close this chapter. The people I have connected with on here will remain my friends and always have a place in my heart. They all have my email if they ever want to connect with me. And you are always free to email me. I would love to hear from you. Sans you are a great man and I appreciate all the kind words you have shared with me.
Take care of yourself!
Did you not read my post? Yuck, that turned out like an episode of the Twilight Zone!!!! Seriously, the guy in person seemed like a totally different guy!! Totally!!!
You are an intelligent man, so the only thing that must be holding you back is fear. What are you afraid of?
Yes I realize that. Ok I have hopes, but I am not assuming anything. The truth is, that the situation I put myself in is difficult. I have spent a significant amount of time talking to a man I have never met. We don’t talk everyday. We talk 2-3 times a week, but for three hours at a time. Neither of us is overly obsessive, but we are both clearly interested. I have no doubt he is an amazing man and that the more I talk to him, the more attracted to him I become. I am a great judge of character and 99% of the time can sense fakes and frauds. He is one of the most genuine people I have met. He does not try to make himself sound perfect, nor does he say things just to impress me. We have so many things in common. We are a like in most of the important things, but not a like in ways that are complimentary. During our conversations my guard is completely down, so he has a pretty clear idea who I am and vice versa. The more I learn the more he seems right, but the in person chemistry has to be there. I have to be attracted to him.
I don’t have a bf! That would require meeting someone, having in person chemistry, and than spending some significant time together. There is potenial, but that is all there is right now. I have not actually met him, but the date has been set. Until that meeting I have no expectations. I will say that my conversations with him are amazing, so if the chemistry in person matches what we have on the phone, it could end up being pretty serios. Him and I have had a serious talk about not having expectations and that there is a real possibility that the chemistry may not be there when we meet. We both agreed not to take it personal. I do think that if it does not work out romantically, him and I could be good friends. Right now I have a major crush on him.
My new school is amazing. The students and staff are so cool! I have found my home, as far as districts and schools. It is truly a great fit for me, not to mention the pay is amazing. I feel like I have worked there for years. I didn’t have that new person feel at all.
Hope you feel better. I am back working, so my morning are also early. I too have been having a hard time sleeping, but I have not been here that much.
I hope you are doing well! :)
Headache-y. I’ve been getting up at 6 AM every morning to get the kids ready for school. Averaging 4 hours of sleep per night, which is bad. I need my sleep. I’m logging out now, but thanks for shouting.
Mine both do well in school, so it’s not bad. I love the summer season best, and I needed one more good hot day at the beach. Hopefully it won’t rain tomorrow.
Chicago public schools don’t start until after Labor Day. Tuson when back the first week in August. I had a very long summer break, because Tuson gets out much earlier and my district starts later.
Are you happy that your kids are back in school?
Yes :) I am started to get excited. I have orientation on Tues & Thursday, and than all teachers start on Friday. I am going in on Monday to meet with some teachers and get my room in order. Students show up on the 26th.
