GL,

Once again, you are awesome. How did you get so awesome??? LOL. How big is your head now?

You know, I know that once I have that baby, all of those thoughts were going to come flooding through my brain......but it is good to have a head start. Right now, I'm mostly selfish and just think about what I want.

(I'm sure no one cares to read about this, and for that reason you can just skip this post all together. It is therapeutic for me however....especially right at this moment for some reason to get this out of me!)

Here's what I want:
* A man with drive in life to get ahead.
*A man that holds a stable job, and will do so for as long as it takes to ensure stability for those he loves.
*A man that tries to be a law abiding citizen.
*A man with goals.
*A man that like to have a good time, but knows when he's "had enough"
*A man that helps around the house at times without having to be asked.
*A man who is thoughtful, asks about my day.
*A man that answers his phone.
*A man that doesn't think he deserves to be able to disappear, sometimes for days at a time to "get away from the world"
*A man that loves his children....jumps out of bed on days he gets to see them, makes them breakfast, pays attention to them. Doesn't treat fatherhood as a matter of convenience.
* A man that takes responsibility for his own actions.
*A man that accepts me for who I am and encourages who I want to be. A man that doesn't try to mold me into someone from his past.
*A man that understands I will more than likely always speak my mind; that I'm not a quiet woman, and telling me to hold my tongue will most likely just make his predicament worse.

That baby girls list will most likely be a lot longer, huh?

Thanks again, GL......I needed that. Cleared out a few cobwebs this afternoon.....

xoxoxo

Can't wait for you to introduce her to us.

So, this new little girl of all of ours ( )
......what would be her list of the minimum proof of "trying" that she would accept before she'd be willing to have him around, influencing her life's path?

And what are her dealbreakers?

What kind of father will help shape her into a strong, kind, beautiful person?

Is he that father? Can he ever be, or is he -- alcohol or not -- not the kind of person you'd NOW choose, if you met him tomorrow, to raise your kid?

Hugs to you - keep us posted, hey?
