Crampy and moody, deal with it.

Ugh. I'm having the worst menstrual cramps ever. And my period hasn't even started yet! It's frustrating. If I were currently on my period, the cramps wouldn't bother me so bad because I'd feel that they were at least serving a purpose... but no, these are apparently pre-menstrual *warning* cramps or something. Ugh. But, I took three Ibuprofen and found a heating pad, so let's hope that I'll feel better soon...

So... should I complain first and update news later, or update news first and complain later? I think I'll go ahead and complain now... and of course, it's about men.

One of my biggest pet peeves in life is when people say one thing and then do another. Or when they say they're going to do something and then don't. "I'll call you!" No phone calls... or, when they claim they don't like you as anything more than a friend, but flirt with you relentlessly... or vice versa. Flirt with you relentlessly but then don't call or anything. WTF! Stop playing games, please. Mean what you say and say what you mean. That's all I ask. I'm not going to name names or go into detailed explanations of what I mean, I'll just leave it at that.

Onto other news... there should be less complaining here. There's a new guy in my life, Luke, and I'm having a hard time reading him. I originally met him about nine years ago, he was working at the gas station down the street from me. I saw him several times a week, and always thought he was cute, but never pursued anything. Part of that was because I was pregnant and most guys don't go for pregnant chicks, and partly because I found out he had a girlfriend who was pregnant with his child, and I'm not a homewrecker. Then he quit that job, I moved away, and I went years without seeing him. Almost two years ago, I moved back into the neighborhood. Luke now lives in the apartment building behind me, and his son and my son are really good friends. Luke started a football team in a local youth league, and my son joined the team. So before, I never had any real reason to carry on proper conversations with him, but now I do. We chatted on the phone once about the football team when he first introduced me to the idea, and at one point near the end of the phone call, he called me "babe". It caught me off guard, but I didn't put too much stock into it. I'm not sure if he's "that" type of guy or not. Some guys call women "babe" all the time, some don't. Then at the first football practice, there were two moments where he touched me. One was him placing his hand on my arm when he turned to speak to me about something, and the second time... I don't remember why, exactly, but he put his hand on my back. I think it was when I scurried around the parking lot picking up all his papers that blew away because he left them on the hood of his truck. :tongue: He put his hand on my back and thanked me. AND! He called me babe twice that night, but not during the same times that he touched me.

Why do I try to analyze every little thing that happens to me? *sigh*

So anyway. I'm not sure if there's something there or not, but I'm really hoping there is. He's a really good guy. He's a great dad, has a good work ethic, and is incredibly cute and outgoing and funny. He's not super intelligent, like book smart, but I can tell he's the type that you can sit down and have an intellectual conversation with. He's really excited all the time, like he just loves life in general, and smiles constantly. It's cute. He's an ex-jock, played football for eight years. I dunno, we just seem to have a lot in common. And did I mention he's cute? :tongue:

So I guess I'm just going to let it ride, see what happens.

So on to updates! School starts on the 17th, I'm so ready for it too. I've already gone and picked up all my books, but I can't get any school supplies or anything till I get my student loans, and that won't be till next week sometime, or something. My son was sent a letter telling him who his new teacher is, and he got the teacher he wanted. Just so happens to be one of two or three male teachers in the entire school. Skyler seems excited to have a male teacher for once. And I guess I've already told you that he's playing football now. They think he's going to play defense. They ran a few plays at the first practice, and he did really well at defensive line, and was apparently really aggressive according to one of the coaches. He put Skyler in charge of the defense, calling huddles 'n stuff. Sky got a kick out of it.

I guess that's about it for my life. I really hope I meet a great guy soon, this being single shit is starting to wear on me. I enjoyed it for MONTHS, but now I'm just ready to be with someone. :tongue:

If anyone can empathize with a bad, crampy period it's me! Hot water bottles and mass quantities of ibuprofen are my best friends at that time of the month.

Sounds to me like Luke likes you. :smile: And why wouldn't he? You are a nice woman and a great mom. You are more than worthy of having a nice guy like you.
 
It sounds like he might. But I'm so anti-rejection, that I can't do or say anything about it until I'm 100% sure that he does. Blah.
 
Oh Toxin I feel so bad for you. I hate hearing about gals having a rough time with their periods. I wished I could be there to comfort you somehow.
