Well, my last post was pretty much a Debbie Downer...sorry about that. It had been a bad few days. But I am better now!! Not to say that ole Debbie won't return sometime!
Last weekend I had an absolutely amazing time with my children! WOW!! We spent the weekend in Indy for Cole's birthday Pacers game. It has been a tradition for quite a few years now to go see a Pacers game and spend the night downtown for his birthday. Chelsie got him tickets to see the Bulls and I hooked us up with a hotel room. We got there Saturday morning and did some shopping at Circle Centre Mall. After some lounging in the hotel room, we went to dinner at Weber Grill with Chelsie's b/f, Michael. The food and company were great, the service was terrible. It was really disappointing but didn't ruin our evening. After dinner we went to Conseco for the game. We had awesome seats and the Pacers WON! Sunday we got up and did a little more shopping in Greenwood and then ate lunch at Chili's. We left around 3 pm. The drive home was a little longer than usual...about 45 minutes longer, to be exact. On 465, at the SR 37 exit, the traffic was stopped. Didn't find out for 3 miles and 30 minutes later that it was because they were taking all the traffic from 4 lanes to 1!!! Oh my gosh. It was crazy. All-in-all, the weekend was just what I needed. My attitude was starting to STINK (not starting to, it was there) and now I feel better!! My wonderful children helped to put some things in perspective for me. We got to talking about why I am still single after all these years...here are their words of wisdom..."Mom, you have your shit together and you are intimidating to most men." Alrighty then. Thanks, guys. :-) Am I intimidating? I don't mean to be. I am looking for some honest input, please!
I am going to be quiet now and hope for some respsonses to the question..."Is Laura Mann intimidating? Why is she still single?"
Thanks, friends!!
I see intimidation differently than others. It is a great defense against those who do not match up to you on an intellectual level. It is a way to show your strength and to let others know you are not to be played as a fool.
ReplyDeleteAs for being single... All who know you have seen what you have done with your life and what you have survived. You keep your head high and don't let the events of life drag you under for the 10 count. I'm not saying you have not been dunked but you that you pop right back up.
You possess high integrity, a wide range of social skills and an above average love of all things good. With that being said now take a look at your "options ". The average man is not a match for you in any way. There is someone out there, but where they are hiding is something I can not answer.
Please don't change or loose faith if your search.
Thank you so much for your amazing words. They mean more than I can even tell you.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with being single, I have been single for over 12 years since my husband, my soulmate, passed away. My goal in life is to make my children's journey the best I can. This fall they will both be gone at college and it will be bittersweet. Just because I am single, doesn't mean that I am missing anything in life. They say you are lucky to find your soulmate once in your life, If another comes my direction, then great, but I am not pushing the issue. I love life and my children and it will be a "cold day in Hell" when some man comes my way and takes away all that I have worked for! I hope you find whatever it is you need, but just don't feel any less for being single. Your kids are thriving in life and that is because of your good example for them! Enjoy the ride!
