Magnetic Force

 Magnetic force is the attraction or repulsion that arises between electronically charged particles because of their motion.  Todays STEAM class was all about magnetic force.  Don't worry I did a great job of making it much simpler for my little friends.  They had a great time playing with magnets and exploring objects that are magnetic and objects that are not.  We talked about the North pole and the South pole, of course Santa Clause came up, we digress easily.  I managed to circle them back and wrap up our morning together.  But not without a few wise jokes between my assistant and I about my dating life and the magnetic attraction and pole I feel and don't feel.

I recently had coffee and then dinner with an amazing man.  He said to me after our second meeting that He's all in if I am.  Wait What??? ALL IN?  Wait, I don't know you.  Did I mention he is an amazing man and has everything to offer. I have been told time and time again that I am slow to warm.  Yes, I know this about myself, but why is it that men (not just him... I've had this happen to me at least 15 times) feel so magnetically attracted to me.  They attach themselves and say they're willing to give me time and space to warm and see a future with me.  They don't even know me.  They don't know my story or secrets.  I'm starting to think that I'm missing something.  

Are woman attaching themselves this quickly to men?  Am I the problem.  I feel like men are always surprised when I warm slowly and want to take my time getting to know them.  It's not because I'm focused on another man or what to see what else is out there, I truly just want to take my time getting to know you.  I want to potentially know everything I can about you so that I can eventually love you exactly how you deserve.  I want you to do the same for me.  I don't want you to see this shinny package and say, YES I will take that!  I promise you fellas, if you give me time, my inside is so much more beautiful than my outside.  You will never question my love for you.  I will be there to take care of it all, even the worst parts.  When things get hard, we will face them together.  I know how you need to be loved in those hard moments because I fell slowly and took notes along the way. 

I find that when someone is so magnetically attracted to me I start to repel or pull away.  I worry that their intentions are not real and true.  I'm so afraid of someone "tricking" me, that I rather run than wait for the hurt.  So just like two North poles pushing away from one another, that will be your fate.

I Finally Met the Man I Never Thought I Would

 For the last ten years, my world has revolved around my three boys. I poured everything into them, my energy, my time, my heart. I became their anchor, their safe place, their constant. And as the years passed, they grew. Not just taller or older, but more independent and confident. Little by little, I began to feel that familiar shift: they still needed me, but not in the way they once did. For the first time in a decade, I could finally breathe for myself again. I had no expectations of love finding me. My life had settled into a rhythm of responsibility and quiet strength. But then, as life often does when we least expect it, it brought someone into my world who would change everything. A man finding love after loss. A man who loved deeply, truly, wholeheartedly before. Instead of feeling intimidated by the depth of his past, I found myself moved by it. The way he speaks of love, the way he honors what he once had, only makes me feel closer to him. It shows the kind of heart he...

December

December is just a day away.  December is such a busy month, and I'm just bracing myself for the speed at which it moves.  Presents to be purchased and wrapped, Christmas cards to be sent (they're ordered with just a few last minute changes to receives)  That's right, this year I'm cutting my list down (more on that in a moment). Decorations to be put up (I'm a bit behind this year) Christmas programs to be practiced (so many amazing memories with this one) Projected to be finished, Volunteering to do (this year we're making stops at Santa's workshop in downtown Naperville as well as the Ronald McDonald House and who can forget Family Christmas. This year I pulled up mt Christmas address labels from last year, after printing I realized there are a few that will NOT be receiving a card this year.  No ill feelings (maybe a few) but, you just didn't make the cut this year. I actually thought long and hard about this (as posted before) I thought I would be t...

Seriously...

This weekend I made reservations to celebrate a good friends birthday.  It's always hard in the month of December to do anything besides the "Holidays".  But, I wanted to make sure the day didn't pass without her feeling special.  To make the day extra special she invited a few other friends and their children.   We finally got settled in and I noticed this guy, he had noticed our table too.  I kept racking my brain trying to figure out how I knew him.  I playing over my students dads, my boys friends dads, other dads at school, my social circle but I kept coming up short.  I finally said something to my friend and she said, Oh he's on the dating apps.  (One of the first things I often do is check fingers for rings to eliminate that as a possibility...he had a ring).  I said but, he has a ring.  She said, exactly.  This is what were dealing with.  The man was clearly out with family and extended family but is spending his ...
