I've been busy at work quite a bit and that is a really good thing especially since my contract got extended again till mid October. I was really nervous that it wouldn't get extended but apparently I had no reason to worry about that.
I also started seeing a new guy. I went on a couple of dates with other guys from one of my dating sites and yeah there are quite a few creeps out there. I also had a HS friend recommend a friend of hers that she thought might be a good person for me and yes he was nice but only a let's be friends type of nice.
The current guy is actually someone that I wouldn't have thought to be interested at all and truly wasn't on my radar either though if pressed I did think that he is nice looking and would be interesting to get to know better but I wasn't sure that it would happen. We actually got set up basically by a mutual friend to go to a movie together with other people and only one of the other people showed up which made for a slightly awkward night for me since the person that did show was the guy that I had most recently been trying to be in a relationship with and I was there with this other guy (that I had no clue was showing interest in me). Then the next day I got a message from the guy that I had been basically set up with asking if I wanted to hang out and chat more and maybe even go out some time. It took a little convincing on my part to make the leap but I did and I have been enjoying the experience so far. I really hope that although probably it will not a forever relationship that we will be together for a while and heck maybe minds will change on the possibly forever part. There are too many details to consider and work out at the moment though over time some of the details will work themselves out. I need to remember to be patient and let things work out for the best and lean on my support network when needed.
I'm still working on my sweater. The one that I started in January and was hoping to have finished by now. I do need to admit that I am almost there though. I have 6 more pattern rounds and then 12 rounds of ribbing before binding off and then finishing the sleeves and the neckline before declaring it done and giving it a bath and getting it blocked so I can wear it before Fall is here.
Here is what the sweater currently looks like (in case you were wondering). This was at 140 rounds and I've done 4 more rounds since I took this picture the other day.
One last update which probably deserves it's own post but I'll put it here for now. Three weeks from today (on August 27th) the girls will be starting Kindergarten. They seem to be excited but I think also a bit nervous about leaving the safety and security of Daycare. I need to take them shoe shopping this weekend at the mall and see about getting them a new outfit or two for the first couple of days of school. I also need to finish getting their backpacks ready and buy them some crayons and pencils for school use too since I don't remember there being any crayons or pencils on the list of supplies that I bought for them through the school itself.
First day of school is going to be a HUGE milestone for me. Our first real day of school with all the big kids and only Mommy there to see them off to school. No Daddy except in our hearts and minds. I know that I'll be ok but I will be missing having Lee here to share this day with me. Like I said, it's going to be a whole other post of it's own.
