Story of the Week

Caleb was incredulous upon learning such things as “Drag Queen” shows exist (which consequently I actually enjoy attending upon occasion).  Caleb has a general understanding of gender roles, different orientations, etc. (age appropriately of course).  It is my sincere hope I have instilled in him the fact each person deserves the right to live and love how he or she wants to.  With that said, Caleb then made the following statements:
 
Caleb: “I sure hope those guys get paid a lot-they deserve it!”
 
Me: (Laughing) “Why would you say that?”
 
Caleb: “Because it must be so terrible for them to have to dress up as girls and wear makeup and high heels-that’s a lot of hard work”.

Life as I Know it....

 
Never before in my life have three months gone by so quickly.  Primarily this has to do with my new job and the fact I am currently doing a job two full-time people and one part-time person previously did (granted this began when I had only been at my new job for three weeks time-total “Baptism by fire” baby).  With that said, I adore my job and simply cannot wait for my new coworker to start at the end of this month.
 
Secondly, I have been going through a divorce which consequently should finalize next week…great timing- start a new job then decide to get a divorce simultaneously….thankfully I am great at organization and multi-tasking so it’s been difficult but manageable. 
 
Third, I have recently met my birth father and tentatively begun a relationship with him.  This in of itself was unplanned, unexpected and thus far, going well. 
 
Fourth, I am head over heels crazy about a guy I first met nearly two years ago (consequently it was innocent and we became great friends at that time).  Fast forward to present day and I cannot imagine my life without him.  It is without reason or practicality but I simply love him and he loves me back.  Fools may rush in but I choose love and any and all consequences it entails.
