25/3- 1/4 HUGE catch up

Texting the boy from coffee for most of the day, smiling and laughing out loud at every one

Monday night with no child- hanging out with one of the said guys!

26/3
laughing and smiling and falling a bit for the coffee date boy.

Falling asleep texting a boy just like when I was a teenager.

28/3
Movie watching in the rain with good friends
I had stitches removed and nearly passed out, I continued to feel shitty all day, so I went home early and napped, then a friend who was in town for a few days came over to keep me company- Zombieland FTW

The shit date that turned into one of the best nights ever- I had a date with someone I thought wasn’t really my match, but then people think that often and get it wrong, and I’ve never dated as such (always a friend of a friend or whatever) so I went on this date, it was freaking terrible…..but I had lined up to ‘run into’ friends, I figured if me and the dude weren’t getting on this would save me, but if we were, then we’d all have a laugh- like me, like my friends stylee…..the former was the case, the dude bought lots of drinks and no real food, I think he was trying that old ‘get em drunk, get em into bed’ thing…..
Whatever at 2am I found myself beach swimming with 3 incredibly good friends- brilliant night…. so many details, just know it was brilliant.

The boy- I’ve known this guy for a while now, at the ‘singles’ night we had to ‘speed date’ and I already knew he was a runner, so we swapped numbers for that, I said ‘I know you think I’m drunk, but I will txt you tomorrow to remind you I remembered!’ so I did and we had a few messages back and forth, it is a bit important for me to mention this guy is C-uuute! He asked what I was doing the next day, I said ‘face painting for a community event’, he showed up in the rain to say ‘hi’ we got coffee that day and then spent most of the waking hrs of the following week txting, I had assumed, party because he is a teeny bit younger and partly because he is insanely cute- that it was just friends, even though I found myself drawing further to him….I was proven wrong…
After the beach swimming we kissed- yet I started the night with 1 guy and ended with another- whatever, these things can’t be planned.

29/3
Breakfast, I stayed at ‘the boys’s’ house, the next day he made me the most amazing eggs, just scrambled, but with herbs, spices, carrot, onion, snow peas- bliss

That blissful/terrible ‘does he like me, smiles when you get a txt, yes, he likes me, I like him, silly sigh when you think about them’ early stages of a relationship type situation.

Family dinner for Good Friday

Wathcing TV in bed

30/3
Family time
Shopping for Easter eggs and discounted clothes for my holiday
Chocolate hot cross buns
Amazing dinner with a couple of good friends, good food, good wine, great company, LOTS of laughs, joined by ‘the boy’ later as he’d been at an event.
omg I can’t quite believe I am going to actually write this- what is happening to me- snuggles…. urgh vom, I think I REALLY like this guy…

31/3
Easter Sunday, waking to hot cross buns gently warming in the oven and a hot coffee- being spoilt!

Easter egg hunt with my dear son and the pure unadulterated joy when we would find an egg.
