All4them’s Crazy World!

Ok…
Time to fess up… the truth about how I met Jimmy…
To the cyber world…
(Not the real world are you kidding me? If my mother found out id be … well…. in trouble! :-s )
OK - not really.. and the few people I have told the “true” story to think I am ridiculous for trying to hide it.

BUT they were my friends… They believed me… Thank God!

Anyway … It had been about three weeks since Id broken up with my BF. The reality though is that it was over a lot longer than that but I refused to admit it. I refused to face it and end it officially. (Long story - rather irrelevant to this bog…Snicker, snicker.. I mean bLog! LOL)

Anyway - it was a Saturday night and I was bored to tears. The kids were with their father… and I had absolutely NOTHING to do. Usually I had plans with friends and I had been looking forward to a quiet night at home… but… Lord it was WAY too quiet! LOL

So I got to thinking about a year or so ago when my sister and cousin were visiting. They signed up for some silly dating site and we sat there together for a good hour laughing at how many men wanted us to “hook up” with them.. and looking through profiles - for no other reason than we were bored.

And so i did it. I signed up for date.ca with absolutely NO INTENTION of of dating. I simply wanted to not be bored. I figured I’d chat with a few people… look at a few profiles… see if I could find anyone I knew. (LOL) But I was not interested in dating…

It was free… i was bored. Simple.

So….. In 30 minutes or so I had about:
- 8 older men who thought my profile was “interesting”
- 3 men from overseas who thought I was beautiful and they would move here to meet me (how thoughtful eh?)
- 3 men who were local but not Canadian Citizens (you see where I am going with that one)
and…
- countless messages from men who wanted to “hook up” or meet for coffee that night.

There were a couple of guys who were nice enough… but then turned into sex starved maniacs…

and then….

…. there was Jimmy.

Jimmy started up a casual conversation. We talked on the computer for hours… I kept waiting for him to be a jerk. He asked me for my phone number and gave me his.. I refused. This continued on for a week.

All the while I waited for him to be a jerk.

I tried to tick him off… I tried to scare him away… Nothing worked.

Finally I decided to talk to him. I gave him my cell phone number… we talked for HOURS. And this continued for a little while….

I realized that I was going to have to meet him. He was absolutely confident it would go well. Me - I thought I would throw up..

I asked him why he was so sure.. He said he had already fallen for me. I told him that wasn’t even possible.. that he hadn’t even met me. He said he fell for my smile. (From the picture…)

So I jumped through hoops and made arrangements to meet him at a time when I had no kids…

Now that was funny… complete with animals and a former student…

Until next time…

Thats the picture that Jimmy says made him fall for me… :S

Or Lack of…

I’ve been lying in bed, wide awake for over an hour.

It is very frustrating. Especially when you know 6 am comes way too early.

I’ve been sleeping like this for about a week now. Usually it is because of Sean’s asthma or the like… but this week it’s because.. well… because I can’t sleep. (Am I genius or what….)

So I thought - “What the heck” I might as well pop on to my favourite site. No new posts. *sigh* Oh well!

NO NEW POSTS.

WHAT?

How dare people be sleeping when I am awake and bored?

Good Lord I need a life.
….

So i thought Id jump on here and explain how I ‘officially’ met BF.

You see… BF(Jimmy) is a friend of my friend’s boyfriend. I met him very briefly once. He was leaving with Rob (my friend’s BF) and was in Rob’s car. A few friendly words… a couple of jokes.. and he was off. Never really thought anything of it.

A while later Rob mentions to his friend that I broke up with my BF because of long distance issues. Jimmy says “really… can you get me her email address?”

How bizarre?

Jimmy says that he fell for my smile the first time he met me. Kinda mind boggling really when you think about it.

We started talking and finally decided we had to get together on a real “date.”

The rest, as they say, is history….

Or is it….
Remember… thats the “official” version of my story….

Perhaps I should blog the “unofficial” version tomorrow….

*Yawn* Maybe the sleep fairy will visit me now….

Well well well.

My friends from CPO have been trying to get me to blog. At the same time I come up with about a billion reasons why not to blog.

Examples?
- Who has time for that?
- Who would want to read about my crazy life?
- And… Why the devil would I want to do that?

I had no intention at all.

Then I’ve been reading my friend’s blogs (when they remind me of updates) and I think… “huh.. well why not?”

So, that being said I decided to give it a go. Why? Partly because I am on a roller coaster ride of a relationship and I think I should start writing things down!

But I get ahead of myself…

I should start at the beginning…

Never mind - I typed the whole thing up and deleted it.

Why? Because no matter how I got here I am happy.

Coles Notes Version:
- Married 8 years and it went Kaboom
- Dad moved out of the country
- After 1 year I got involved with an older man
- Dad moved back into the country and was big time depressed… possibly suicidal
- Dad started doing better
- I broke up with BF
- Dad started doing even better
- I met someone new

So where do things stand right now?

I love being a single mom. My boys are 9 and 4 and absolute delights. Their dad sees them regularly and is really stepping up to the plate. I am almost 2 months into this new relationship and can honestly say that I have never felt like this… its amazing….

And thats why I say my crazy life is getting crazier….

more to come…
