Pros and Cons

This weekend marks the 2-month anniversary of my single-ness. It's a love/hate thing---my feelings about my life. Not completely bad, but not totally good either. Relationship purgatory---somewhere in between "recently divorced" and "wanting to marry again someday". Someone pray me out of here quick.

The cons of being here:
-continually having to answer the question "What does she look like?" when people find out about my ex's recent remarriage. (as IF it makes it acceptable if he married a supermodel.)
{He didn't.}

-having to deal with them and their insanity on a near-daily basis (this may also be considered a pro at times due to the comic relief it provides)

-having to borrow someone's husband or drill when I need to hang up a coatrack. And, no, I don't want to buy my own drill. I know how to use one, I just prefer for someone else to have that household job.

-being the only one around when a kid decides to puke in the middle of the night. (but again, I was usually the only one who actually did anything about this even when there were 2 of us around, so...no big)

-having to wonder what the appropriate amount of time is before I date again, and wondering if my friend was right when she said, "Someone will always think it's too soon, no matter how long you wait."

The pros:
-MY bed, MY decorative pillows on the bed, MY 4 pillows.....and no hairy legs scraping up against mine in the middle of the night. (admittedly, this could also be a con)

-No one else making charges out of MY bank account.

-There is more laughter in my house now...Mr. Moody isn't walking scowling all the time.

-He is not here.

-He is not here.

-He is not here.
