Putting the Pieces Back Together

So, it has been a looong journey trying to get my life back on track.  Let me also tell you, this day of social media being so big doesn't help either.  Everything is out in the open and you are able to see and hear things that you may not want to that keep you from moving on. 

Alas, I am no where near 100%, but I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I was just a month ago.  I am getting my new place in order and more "homey", I am losing weight (18.5 pounds to be exact), getting back involved in church, and so on.  The only thing I can't seem to get figured out is the whole dating game.  For all of you single moms out there who have gotten this figured out, I could really use your help!!  It has been 7 years since I have been on a date, and that was with my ex-husband!!  I don't even know how to go out and meet someone!!  I haven't even been asked out on a date...which is a bit of an ego popper!!  haha!!  Even if I was asked out, how do you go about dating with a little one at home?  I don't have babysitters accessible really, so I don't even know where to begin!!  I really am so ready to get back out there again, even if it's just for the social interaction outside of my 4 year old son.  While I love him more than anything in the world and love spending time with him, conversation with a 4 year has it's limits!!  haha!!

I am starting to see that time really does help heal wounds.  While I think it will still be a while before I am ever really ok with hearing about or seeing my ex-husband with someone else, I have come to terms with it.  It is what it is, and I have to deal with it!  I don't think I ever really comprehended how hard this would be!!  I know this sounds silly, but I am addicted to The Real Housewives series on Bravo, and it was comforting to see that those women who seem to have the "perfect" lives, they are having the same struggles and feelings as I do with their divorces.  Sometimes it's just nice to realize that you aren't alone, because you spend a lot of time feeling like you are!

Anyway, enough of all of that!!  haha!!  I hope everyone has been having a wonderful weekend!!  Mine has been nice and quiet, but I have been getting a lot done.  Speaking of which, I guess I better wrap this up and stop procrastinating and get back to getting things done!!  Hope everyone has a happy Monday!!
