One Month Tomorrow

This was a pretty eventful weekend...

Saturday a.m., Paul picked me up with his daughter, S, and off we went to watch her basketball game. S just turned 14 and was pretty quiet the entire time. I was a bit nervous and quiet myself.

For me it was huge to be meeting her! Like I told Paul, it's one thing for us to be seeing each other and dating...but once we meet the kids, then they are involved, too. I also told Paul that it's taking the relationship to the next level...which it really a big deal.

Any who...the game ends and we are on our way home; Paul asks if I would mind going to the Dollar Store and I say no. Do we stop at the store...no! We go to his house. In we go and hello, P! P is his youngest daughter who just turned 11. Paul and P are working on a project and need stuff from the Dollar Store...so off we go.

It was all good. We stopped at Family Dollar - ICK! And I told Paul and his daughter as much. I suggested Dollar Tree, so we went and found most of what they needed for the project. After that they dropped me off and apparently his daughter said that Sue does know almost everything. LOL!!! Paul was teasing that I am right most of the time...and guess P thought so, too! ;)

Paul had suggested a movie later Saturday night, but I could tell logistics of taxiing around the kids was wearing on him; so I suggested we grab a movie and watch it at his place. He thought that sounded like a good idea... See I do know all! LOL!!!!

Any who... I picked up a bottle of Shiraz and headed over to his place. We took S to her softball practice and then went and grabbed a movie at Blockbuster. We drank some wine, watched the movie and well...nothing XXX, but we had a little adult time before we had to go pick up S. :)

While we were picking up S, Paul's oldest, R, called and asked to be picked up. R is his son who will soon be 16. Off we go to pick up R and a friend.

So...I got to meet all of Paul's kids! The three of us had lots of fun picking on Paul. For some unknown reason, I let loose with the Paulywog nickname. S chimed in with Pauly wants a cracker? And we were all laughing and having a great time.

Got back to Paul's place and popped in another movie. Watched the movie, had some pizza and off to home I went.

It was a good day. And unprompted regarding meeting them all on my part. I thought I would only get to meet S, but turns out I got to meet the entire clan. I didn't get too much interaction with the kids, but according to Paul, they thought I was nice and was "in"! :) I thought they were nice, too.

So far, so good. In fact, on my facebook, when I got home I typed in that "ain't nothin' like the real thing baby...ain't nothin' like the real thing." Like the old Cocoa Cola commercial...only better! :)

Tomorrow it will be a month that Paul and I have been dating. I really like him. And he treats me well. And I have been trying to be more open regarding how I feel about the way things are going. He teases me that I'm like a cracked egg and he's getting me to pull my own shell back more and more... Which is what is actually happening.

One Month...wow, time sure flies when you are having fun! :)
