This blog we are going to get down and dirty so I am adding a disclaimer. **ANYONE related to me, especially MOM, you may want to think twice or 3 times about reading further because this could end up totally innocent or totally not, I don’t know yet.** Ha, so there you have it, the choice is now yours!
This post, well, as you can see from the title is about love. Good love, bad love, here love, there love, up love, down love, where the F**K is my love, LOVE! Love is addictive, fun, sad and a pain in the ass. Why do we crave it so and then cry over it. It’s stupid, we must be stupid. How do you control your heart or emotions or your mind for that matter? Why do we make mental lists of what we want and need and then when we finally find someone with all those qualities, at least 98% of them, do we decide to throw them to the curb because they drink hot sauce out of the little cup. I mean really? My BFF HiHi says that I have to decide what I can live with and what I can’t. I don’t know what those things are, they are case by case as you know and no man has passed (as of yet). Instead of a sign that says, “take a number and wait your turn” it should say, “ don’t bother taking a number, take me on a date, make me happy and then go away because in 3 days I won’t be answering your texts anyways”! Whoo, that’s a mouthful or sign full I suppose. Why is that? Trust issues? Boredom? They aren’t good enough? I’m not good enough? After 4 years maybe I just don’t want your S**T in my house. Anyone, anyone? Bueller. Bueller?
I am a self-proclaimed over thinker. I admit it and can’t control it. I don’t know how to stop my thought process; I don’t know how to meditate. I have been trying by order of the therapist but thus far have been unsuccessful. I am the person next to you in yoga class with racing thoughts figuring out exactly which path to take home to get the most done. I am a nitpicker. What can I say; I am getting old and set in my CDO ways. I like things my way and cringe at the thought of having to “bend” to accommodate another living in my home one day while at the same time yearning for it. I am obviously psychotic and in desperate need of a medication change. Besides love there are practical reasons for wanting a man around and no, I don’t need you to fix things, I got that covered! The help with bills, household cleaning and such, child rearing (no they don’t need another daddy but sometimes a man saying “NO” is more effective than mom saying it). I had CPS called on me by ADHD (my ex-a dick head dad) and his partner Ankles (she’s 3 feet below a C**T) during our recent court battle because they wanted to try to dig something up. Of course CPS walked in and shook their heads wondering why they were here EXCEPT for the fact that I have bipolar disorder and Riverside County apparently likes to take children away from parents with mental illness especially if there is no “partner” in the home to help out. WOW! Can you say “mail order groom”?
When ADHD first cheated with Ankles and knocked her up and we split/divorced I wanted no part of keeping men. I wanted you all but didn’t want to keep you. I had no reason to, in my head you all sucked. In the last couple of years I have been coming out of it and I actually even had a 6 month relationship with a complete douche but I kept him around for super-secret reasons plus companionship. Now, I am trying not to run but I am a runner. I will find a reason to go and I will go. Fast. There is always a pre-cursor though. Something sets me off, something you do or say that isn’t right, doesn’t sit well with me, turns my over thinker up to high. I HAVE been making the conscious decision NOT to run though! HiHi says I need to be alone. I don’t want to be alone. The holidays are coming again and even though I can go to someone’s house if my boys are gone or even if they are here, I always have to come home…alone. It is getting depressing. I look at my friends and I am jealous. I look at aunts, parents, uncles, exes and well, woe is me. Eyeore and I, ha-ha, he is the only male that gets to sleep with me on a regular basis! Go Eyeore! These things I know. I am not unattractive, I am not unintelligent (this surprises a lot of people), I am funny and fun to be around and I am passionate and caring. I know that even if I am turned in to a zombie during the apocolypse I will still be attractive (picture provided). Some man out there will be very happy when he finds me. So will I.
Grandpa told me recently, “You will know when you are in love”. I believe him. Now I just wait, like with the worms.

Hi my love. I just have to tell you that I have a lot of those same uber annoying things with my husband and quite often, daily, I think of how blissful it would be to live alone again and not have to deal with a non handwashing, dirty clothes-wearing, messy kitchen-making, snoring, sleep apneatic, RLS, pot-smoking, unemployed person in the same house. But then I think, wait I KNOW, I have all those things about me that bug him just as well. Yet, he NEVER complains and only ever has nice things to say, and compliments me. He is very forgiving and loving and always there for me and the kids. The main reason I asked him to remarry me once he pulled his head out of his ass and stayed clean 5 years was that I hated being a single parent. I was drowning. I needed his help. I wanted our family back. At times I am deeply in love with him and other times I hate him. I think we have to make a commitment with someone we love and keep the commitment if we really want to be in a relationship. You have to weigh out the benefits vs. the sacrifices and see what wins. There will be good days and bad days just like with everything else in life. The more you suppress the desire to control them and make them be what you want, the easier it gets. Acceptance is the key. There is no one person who will be perfect. I think you were in love before and just because the relationships soured and you fell out of love and they ended it doesn’t mean you have not found love. Honeymoons end quickly. Pick a few really important qualities that you must have in a mate, find someone that has them, make sure he isn’t a cheater and deal with the rest.
Humor would DEFINATELY be one quality, I have to laugh! Honesty, since I dont lie to you dont lie to me…if I look fat in this dress, just freakin tell me so that I dont go out in public in it! The rest I will think about but I have to do more important things now like run to Target before I get kiddos, Haha!
Mt Roubidoux is slowly having all the obstacles being removed for some ill fated plot for urban development…that’s my take on your article…thanks for the information…you are a good writer….:D
