Life has been moving at a pace that I just can't quite keep up with all my blogging desires. Im not sure why school likes to pack in all the fun things at the end of the year and keeps us parents desperately seeking an end to the school year, despite know it will come with an end to our sanity and silent time during the day. Lemonade Stands, Trike-a-Thons, Field Trips, Family Fun Night, Fireworks, Community Fun Day, warm weather, play dates with the neighbors that last well past 8pm, kids needs a full shower and hair wash every night - all the things have kept me unable to do this. But I am here. I am here in my bed in the silence of my bedroom and I am ready to unpack it all.
There is always D.
D kinda went MIA for about two weeks. He called me on a Tuesday and said he would try to make it down that Friday and from that call I would not talk with him for another 13 days. I called him. He did not answer and did not call me back. This is my weakness. This is the very thing that makes me lose all my will power and all my self-control. A certain amount of time passes and I make up my mind and I start disconnecting. I scares me how easily I am able to disconnect. I dont feel sad but I do feel some internal turmoil but it is not sadness. I think it is just the uncomfortable feeling of not having my needs met. Like an infant is not sad that there milk is not in their mouth but they just scream because they know they are uncomfortable. I just shut all the feelings I have for D down. This is not something I just do with D, I remember when my ex-husband and I officially ended it I just shut all the feelings off and for the most part they never came back. I remember the day my divorce was final and I felt no sadness. In that case and I think with D I have done so much grieving for what I am missing during the relationship that I do not grieve for it once it is over, I just look ahead. JF was a little more a challenge for me but I do think that has a lot to do with the kids pulling at my heart strings.
I call D again on this 13th day and he answers and I immediately scold him with a "where the hell have you been" in my very bold and aggravated voice (but also feeling so relieved that he is indeed alive). He immediately says to me "I am sorry, I know I should have called you", to which I am knocked of my soapbox and I start to struggle to gather my thoughts. We talk a bit more and I gather some more steam and I say but I called you like 6 times this weekend, it was really twice but I needed to add some drama. He tells me he did not see the missed calls. Now this is something I hate to believe, but he lives in an area with remarkable bad reception. So much so that we only talk while he is at work because whenever we try to talk at night the connection is so bad it is not even worth the time. And he has said that he has called me and I know I really did not see the calls. So I let it go. He calls me the next day just to talk and he says to me "I just have not been feeling like myself these last two weeks". I just want to pause for a second to acknowledge that this is not how he talks. He never talks like this or maybe very rarely. I talk to him about what is going on and he persists that he does know he just is not feeling himself. I urge him to go to the doctor because after his aneurysm a few years ago not feeling like yourself could be something to do with that. He brushes it off. We dont talk for a few more days. He calls me again several days later and he is back to himself. It was almost like he was in a manic phase. I am not saying he is bi-polar but the difference was really noticeable. And I call him manic because he was happy but not in a good way. He wanted to talk about kids again and I am tired of it. I dont want to hear anymore. I am really happy with my kids development and I can rest easy at night knowing I am doing the best that I can do with them.
He is right when he says that we can not live together, because I can not and will not listen to his stone age rhetoric about raising kids. I was laying in my bed talking to him away from the kids because I never talk to my friends or lovers in front of my kids. But I just felt an uprising of strength and disgust and I told him ' that nothing is all right or all wrong and his way was not perfect and nor was mine and that he had his own kids to parent and I would handle these three. I was very curt with him and I was expecting some push back but I got none. He just let it slide, which was unusaul. I was so frustrated, as we were talking my youngest, who is 5, came in my room crying. Crying because her brother ate the last piece of candy and she did not get one, and she was hungry and tired and crying. I gave her a hug and asked her if she was hungry and she said yes, and I told her to go downstairs to her sister because dinner was almost done and he sister would help her get her food. She was still crying some but was on her way to get some dinner. Problem solved. D actually says that she needs to learn she can not always get her way, and I said yes, she is. His thought was that I should have told her to go cry somewhere else because I did not want to hear it. What is the actual fuck is this man's problem and inability to nurture and love on children. I was disgusted and I told him I had to go eat dinner with my kids.
He called me again to plan a day to come down, but I have my period now. That is where we left it.
Meanwhile in D absence I made plan to see the neighbor. I needed dick so bad and D was doing what he needed to so I feel guilt free when I asked the neighbor to come by. The neighbor might be the biggest player I have ever met. This man has balls! He lives like 3 house down from me but he wanted to fuck and his wife stayed home from work that day. So this son of a bitch tells his wife he is going to go pick up breakfast from a local place and so he has time to fuck and get them, he calls the order in first but then tells her he had to wait for it. I am laughing and shaking my head as I write that.
The dick was amazing, but I think more than that I needed it. For the first time fucking with him I hear myself moaning the deep guttural moan, that you may have heard in the videos. That is the kind of moan where I can not think when I am being fucked, I can do anything but respond in the most primal way of this groaning. It was really amazing. Quick and to the point and he did cum inside, but no pictures.
I have been feeling really content in my singleness. I feel like I am killing the single mom role and I mentally feel really good. I have really enjoyed not having to answer to anyone and I have liked being able to raise my kids exactly as I want. But the other day I am in the shower, just washing my hair and into my head like a lightening bolt is I should just go back to JF. And then I felt sad all over again about the loss of that relationship. I thought about how in love with him I was and how amazing it felt to have that kind of love in my life. I thought about the choice we made together to bring this last baby of mine into the world and I thought about the day I got pregnant and how I felt 100% secure that he would love me forever and would always be incredible father I have seen him be thus far. Love is a fucked up thing!
Today, I had a new washer delivered to my house. And I was fielding calls and emails from work as I opened and closed the door for them and it occurred to me that there was a time in my life I would have totally been considering or at least trying to feel out if they were down to fuck. Today, I felt like I did not have a free moment to think about fucking. My phone is buzzing about once a minute with emails and the phone is ringing. I agreed to take on another program temporarily and I also agreed to take a 4th program starting next month. The pace is constant hustle, but I secretly love it. I am working long days with no breaks and I am thriving! Sometimes the fear of not enough free times stresses me out but in reality I really dont do so well with free time. The work helps keep my mind right.
The other day it occurred to me that it was the last full day my kids would be school and I looked at the clock I had 20 minutes until I had to pick them up......so naturally I thought I need to make myself cum because I dont know when I will get another chance. LOL So I closed my computer made myself cum and got the kids and got right back to work.
Just to circle back to work a minute. I have a new staff and there is this woman there who is about 32, mixed race, grew up in a poor town and continues to live in a poor town. She has her Master's Degree but she has worked at an entry level job for 9 years. She was overlooked for the position I have now and she was not happy about it. So fast forward to me starting to supervise her, and she has been blantenly disrespectful to me. I met with her about it this week and she has changed her tone with me a little bit but it has made me have to be a little bit more assertive than I usually am at work. My baseline at work and home is Alpha Female but this bitch has made me need to step it up a bit. I also kind of like it. It challenges me in a way that I have not been challenged. I am used to my staff who do not like to work like me crying in response to my management style but I kind of enjoy this type of challenge. And to be clear my management style is really to give people the space and tools they need to do the job well, but I expect a strong commitment to excellence. You would be amazed how many people are perfectly content to just get by rather than excel. I hate that kind of low achieving employee.
And as evidenced by the last decade plus of my blog, when I do something I give it 100%
Update on the trucker -
He text me today. He said he has been going through a rough time and lost his truck but he got a new one back. So maybe the walk of shame through the trucking parking lot again soon.
