i’m happy to report that i was asked out today at school, and i’m quite happy about it. sure, i’m married but it doesn’t mean i can’t date.
i will confess that the dating is just a little different than it was back in my younger years, i’ve changed the criteria a bit. this is dating is with other moms.
you may be wondering why the hell is she excited about being asked out by another mom?
you must know that i’m not asked out very much as a mom. i’m not your typical playground mother who is well versed in the ways of play dates or whatever they call it now.
see, i’ve only been asked out one other time, that was tmim and it was a mutual “ask out” situation. she and i are still dating and i love her. before children, i was asked out regularly.
don’t be sad for me, i’m dealing with it.
this mom that asked me out, her son is in my son’s class. i’ve only talked to her a few times but i knew pretty quickly that i would definitely like her. she’s sarcastic, and i like that in my moms.
she and i ran into each other at school last month and we got to chat more, and she maded me laugh.
she told me a story about how she got her name. her dad had to leave the room while she was being born and her dad told her mother whatever she did, don’t name her “x”. guess what the mom named her? (x is not her real name, just like tmim isn’t really tmim).
i absolutely almost rolled off my kindergarten chair laughing b/c that’s the kind of humor i can sign on for.
so today after my classroom duties, i was walking out with the boy and she called my name. i turned and said hello, and she hugged me! for real! and then, she said “i was thinking that we should go to lunch sometime”. i was all like, “SURE!” thinking in my head, “i can’t believe another mom likes me!”
if you don’t have rugrats, this may seem a bit stupid to you.
when you have kids, your regular friends kind of “fall off” and you wonder if your life will ever be normal again. i’m happy to report, that it will come back in time and you become slightly more careful in choosing your friends.
it most be the “mommy bear” thing, being MUCH more careful after you have kids with the company you keep.
that is all.
