updates
So I am really proud of myself. I have just been coming out all over the place. I am now out to pretty much all people except work (except those that are friends) and extended family. I think I may work on the extended family thing when everyone's here for Xmas. I can't really see myself coming out to my grandparents but I'll come out to aunts and cousins and stuff. Well, maybe just on mom's side. Dad's side is a little less predictable. The really big one was coming out to this message board group I've been part of for almost 6 years. We all were on this message board when we were all trying to conceive and then stayed together once we did. We're the Dec 2001 playgroup. I've literally been talking online to some of these ladies since early 2001. I have always kept this from them because I felt weird about it. I didn't know how they'd take it. Well I bit the bullet and posted something about it this morning. So far the response is pretty positive. I am not for sure that it'll stay that way. There are some pretty religious ladies on there. I just kept feeling like I had to though because otherwise I am not being honest. We talk about everything else (it's so not about the kids anymore) why not this? Also I met a friend on there named Amber that left the board a couple years ago. I was so sad when she left because I felt like I had connected with her more than anyone. Well she contacted me a year ago and guess what? She's gay and she left her husband. Interesting!! She never came back to the board because she wasn't sure she'd be accepted. Well I wanted to try them out. So we'll see how it all plays out over time. I've just decided that it's more important for me to be honest than to worry about whether or not I'll still have the boards to go to.
With the girl, we have decided to just be friends for now. There is obviously chemistry between us but I just don't think the timing is good. She's going through an ugly break up and we talked about it a lot and decided that for now we just need friends. Maybe there will be more kissing down the road, but we'll just see. I am still happy I met her though because I need all the gay friends I can get and she has a huge network of people that have been very nice and welcoming to me. I'll let you all know how all of that stuff unfolds as time goes on.
That's all for now! My kids are back and back to school. Life is back to normal. No more crazy nights for me -at least not several in a row. Well, until Christmas break!! :)
