Diggin it like a tunnel to china! That's deep yo!

Well the first week of school has rolled by.

 And most of you know that means jack diddly NOTHIN!  The first week of school and the last week of school are a freakin joy. It's everything between that is at task in any household that doesn't send the kids off to boarding school.

The boys are being good at school and a little more rowdy at home than I was used to. They seemed to have picked up some "things" over the summer. Nothing bad really just little mannerisms that I am not used to and that I can't figure out where they encountered them.  But that is fine. That's what summer is. They grew while away from me in more ways than just shoe size.

Though some of the attitude I could do without. When an 8 year old speaks to me in a tone that says nothing but "DUH you idiot", I tend to get a little wrath-ish. My kids are bright and funny, but I won't have them be smarty pants and dis-respectful. It's not goin down like that. At any point.

So this week and probably this weekend there will be some discussion about respect and what it means, and the expectations from each of us to the other. Teamwork and such. But pity the one of these two that speaks to me like I am a dullard at any point in this lifetime. Cause that will be one miserable little child for an hour or more while he picks up pine cones from the entire yard and as he moves a stack of bricks from one side of the yard to the other and then back again one at a time. lol cruel?  I don't think so. Consequential. That's how I see it. Punishment through menial repetitive labor.

I'm hoping that it can be talked out before we get to that part though.

And now for some more info on the woman I have been talking to. Her name is Kristina. She is lovely. Actually, oh sheesh. I don't even want to get into at this point. Things are moving along, and I like talking to her, seeing her, spending time with her. Everything.

I'll put it this way, even if we DON'T date each other, I don't want to lose touch with her again. I want to know her and her story, until it ends or I do.  If the choice was Date for 2 years and get all the benefits of being lovers, friends, and partners, and then stop talking to each other for the rest of your lives, OR Don't date at all and just be friends to each other for as long as you want, I would pick just friends. Cause I want to know her life and I want her to know mine. I want to be involved with her existance from this point on. Even if it is just friends. I'd rather be her friend for life than her boyfriend for a couple years.

Does that make sense?  It makes sense to me. I know that.  I'm not sure I am explaining all of it but that's the crux.

If being involved with her romanticly meant not knowing her when she is 60 years old then I would stop seeing her and just be her friend so we can still talk to each other at 60 years old and for all the time between. I could be ok as long as I didn't just have to give her up completely. Even just getting her in small amounts would be better than losing her completely. I guess that's what I mean. I would choose which ever path allowed me the greatest access to her as the person I know.

Oh well. It still doesn't make much sense does it LOL.

She Rocks!

We have seen each other a couple times now and it's really cool. I've never met anyone like her. EVER!

But more on that later peeps.

I got's to roll!

Love ya!
