Father's Day Weekend

We went to Vegas for Father's Day to visit with my dad.  I got up at 330 Saturday morning to load the car and then we took off around 430.  Why do you leave so early, you may ask?  Because everyone in the LA/ Orange County area heads out the 91 on Friday night.  Seriously, it's looks like one of those disaster movies where everyone is trapped on the freeway as they see the giant tidal wave coming toward them.  Overly dramatic, I know, but that's what the 91 on Friday afternoon reminds me of.  Maybe I watch too much SciFi.....
Connor had a blast in his new swimming pool.  He kept saying it was cold, which it totally wasn't, but he kept getting in the water anyway.  Can I just say that I love how much he loves water?!  I'm looking forward to a lot of time spent at the pool this summer.  Can't beat free entertainment!  I need to invest in a new swimsuit and vats of sunscreen.  I want to go to the beach this weekend but don't know if I'll be up for dragging all the stuff out and hauling it around.  I'm on call so that'll probably be a big no!

Internet Dating

I've been trying internet dating.  It seemed like a good fit for a single mom with little time to devote to finding the next Mr. Right.  I've been on a few dates but haven't me anybody I really felt a connection to.  Don't get me wrong, they were nice guys but there really wasn't a spark.  One of them, I thought could maybe turn into something but he just disappeared.  Which brings me to my issue with all of this.  What's up with the just disappearing thing?  Seriously, we're both adults, if it's not working out, just say so.  I think the thing that really bugs me about it, is it's so cowardly and childish.  I'm not looking for conflict but I do believe in being honest and I think at this stage in the game, everyone should be able to do that.  I'm irritated enough that I want to forget the whole thing but it can be kind of fun at times. At least I'll get to try out some new restaurants and hear some interesting stories.....

I'm still alive...

I know, I know.  I said I was going to stay on top of this and have been a dismal failure, however, it's a new day people!  As most of you know, there have been a lot of changes in the Kellyverse!  Ray and I have separated, Connor and I have moved into our own apartment,  and both kitties, sadly, passed away.

Sounds sad right?  Not so much ( except for the dead kitties).  I know I should be more upset about the demise of my marriage but a strange calm has come over me where it's concerned.  I think it's the best decision for all involved, Connor being the most important part of the puzzle.  That being said, it is sad that the family I envisioned isn't going to happen.    On a positive note, doing everything by yourself is A LOT less irritating than doing everything by yourself while being watched and critiqued by another able bodied, yet obviously delusional, adult :)

That didn't sound too bitter did it???

In other news, Connor is a climber, yeah me!  I spent last night rearranging his room in an attempt to keep him off the changing table.  Apparently, a 2.5 yr old is not worried about breaking his neck as evidenced by the very sweet "No, Mommy" I got from him when I pointed this possibility out.  Why would he want to be on top of the changing table, you ask?  The tv remote was on a shelf above it.  The kid is obsessed with remotes!  I tried giving him an old one but he just looked at me like I had 3 heads and asked for the real one again.  I'm hoping to keep him alive until he understands cause and effect but I'm starting to have doubts that it'll be possible.......
