Before I update you on McScotty, I have to tell you about the worst weekend ever. Friday morning I got a call from Peanuts school that she was running a fever. Great. I took her to the Dr that afternoon to learn that once again she has a double ear infection. Strep and RSV were running rampant in her class last week so I thrilled she tested negative for both. Although the DR did listen to her lungs and thought she might have just a touch of pneumonia. Apparently she felt confident that antibiotics she was going back on (round 5 I think, but who's counting) would kill it all. So you can imagine what fun this past weekend was. I spent the entire weekend hole up in the house with a cranky 2 year old. I tried as often as possible to get into the bathroom so I could steam it up and loosen up her lungs. Do you know how much fun it is to entertain a 2 year old in a bathroom for 20 minutes? Try it some time and you'll see for yourself.
Which brings me to the update on McScotty. Like the Civil War, he's history. Apparently my distance to him last week/this weekend made it clear that I was pretty much done (either that or he found the blog). Aside from a few texts here and there, I haven't talked to him since last Tuesday. We were suppose to go out to dinner last night to celebrate Valentine's Day. I didn't want to go and was thrilled when he never called/text to confirm. The last time I heard from him was via text Saturday morning to see how I was doing. I think maybe we've ended our little fling and I didn't even have to do anything! I love this! Why can't they all be this easy!!!! I do however have a few items of his. One being a picture album that includes childhood pics, etc. I tried to give it to him last Tuesday so it would be out of my house but no luck. He forgot it. Now I probably need to make some sort of contact to tell him to come pick up his crap. Damn him for leaving stuff at my house.
This week's social calendar is starting to fill up. Tonight I am going to have dinner with a good friend (who is also recently divorced). We always have a good time comparing out latest 'war' stories so I'm looking forward to it.
Wednesday night I have yet another first date. I haven't told you about this one yet. He's another match.com'er. We talked Fri night for about an hour and again last night for an hour. He's 30 something (can't remember exactly, but about my age). Seems super cool and really nice. Although I will say, he does seem a little too 'metro' for me (last night he told me all about his membership to Massage Envy). Yup. Who knows.
Thursday night is shaping up to be a possible happy hour with the HS friend I went out with a few weeks ago and the dude we met at O'Dowds (and hopefully some of his friends). Nothing firmed up yet, but should be fun if it happens.
For those wondering how I do this with neglecting my lil' Peanut, it's called creative time management. My rule is only 1-2 babysitter's a week (and it's usually my Mom or Dad). I plan things on nights that F-head has her and plan them early enough to pick her up and be able to spend some time with her before bed. If I am going out-out, I try to schedule it for after her bedtime so she doesn't know the difference. Being a single parent and trying to date isn't exactly easy, but I think I've managed to do an ok job thus far. Ugh.
