It has been wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long

It has been so long since I've blogged I hardly know where to begin.

We are having a very enjoyable Summer and I hope you all are too. You as in all my readers, which I'm hoping I still have! lol.

Not much is new with me - things in my love life are going very well. New boyfriend and I have been together almost a year - wow how time flies....I guess he needs a new nickname cause he's not really "new" anymore.

We get along as a family for the most part but blending sure is hard. I find NB spoils the crap out of his son and treats him like a baby...which gets on my nerves since the child is 7 years old...but I know there's things I do as a parent that bug NB too...so we're working through it all.

The boy has been at my mom's since July 25th and although it's been a nice break I miss him like crazy. He'll be flying home all alone one week from today...this will be one nervous mama until his plane lands and I have him in my arms!

In other news...my baby is no longer a baby and is entering 5th grade this year...wow I can hardly believe it. This will be his last year in elementary - next year it's on to middle school. Where does the time go??!??!!

I really can't think of anything else to write about...I'm such a sucky blogger these days.

What is new in the world of Mel?

LOTS!

It's been awhile since I've posted...I don't know what it is...I have the time but sometimes I'm just too lazy to do anymore than read all of your blogs...sometimes I'm even too lazy to comment and I hate that!

So since I posted last - I put myself on Plenty of Fish (dating site for those that don't know) because I was lonely and looking for friends...nothing serious just someone to hang out with...I met 2 guys from there and they both turned out to be a little bit crazy...I mean I know I'm a pretty good catch but you can't want to spend every single waking moment with me after 2 dates...I just don't roll that way! I am a single mom...newly single at that...and I need time for ME sometimes too.

So needless to say after trying that route and failing...oh and having the ex-boyfriend find my profile and essentially stalk me on there...yeah decided it wasn't the route I wanted to take...

BUT there is someone in my life...we are taking it very very very slow...he's been a friend for years and in fact was my neighbour up until 2 years ago...the ex-boyfriend was extremely jealous of our friendship and forbid it...needless to say as soon as (hmmm what should I call him...lol) "T" found out that the ex-boyfriend and I split up he called me and we've been hanging out ever since. Our boys are friends from when we were neighbours and so far the boy approves of our 'dating'. He really only found out we were more than friends last weekend when he caught us holding hands lol.

I won't change my Facebook relationship status just yet...I just don't feel like I'm quite there yet...I've been calling it "almost a relationship" for about 3 days now...I guess I'm just scared that it's too soon.

The ex-boyfriend is still in touch on a weekly basis even though I've asked him to please just leave me be...he's having a very hard time accepting that it's over with us and there is no talking things out anymore...he crossed far too many lines.

So that's my 'love life' in a nutshell.

Now on to the boy - he's doing great in school - slightly sassy and his teacher does not approve which is great...I've found in the past that his teachers have let him get away with far too much! But besides the sassy attitude he's doing well academically and has joined every club the school offers - he immensely enjoyed Cross Country Running Club and is now in Homework Club and Handball Club. I love that he's so involved in the school. Oh and he's patrolling on his own too. At first he was peeved that they had to spend the whole month of September training and he wanted to stop being a patroler...but now that he's allowed to do it all on his own he's enjoying it alot!
