    I think that we will be taking the dog back to the vet soon but I have no idea how we are going to pay for it. I'm crossing my fingers that he starts doing better now that he's off of he meds he was on and I've been amble to get him to eat and drink some. We'll see. Nothing else to report today.

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Well the total came to $143 less that we thought. We will be okay now. We still have to be careful and he still needs to start packing his lunch because that will save us a lot of money per month that can be put into savings as emergency money. It's just that over the past several months we've...

    Ugh, M's truck is broken again. Life isn't going to be much fun for awhile. I have to tell M that he needs to start packing his lunch again for work and that is going to be a battle but it saves us like $2000 over the course of the year if he must takes leftovers or sandwiches. I don't think...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Well, I just let S know that we talked and decided that we need to wait until we find a poly guy as that is what we want. We don't just want someone to play with. He or they are out there somewhere and when the time is right, we'll find him/them. I realize that we may not both like/love the...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    I got a message from someone yesterday who told me not to settle until I can find someone who wants what we want too. We have only been looking for a few months now so I just need to learn some patience. It has only been 4 days since I last heard from S. I guess that I just got spoiled when...

    It's been a couple of weeks since he first contacted me and then went aol for a week then back again where I got a couple of emails and then nothing again.

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    I am so tired lately. I guess that I could be depressed but since I haven't slept well ever so it could just be that catching up with me. B is jealous of Q's new potty/behavior chart and so she peed herself on purpose yesterday so that she could get a potty chart too. We told her that she won't...

    Well, when it happens, it happens. We have potentials coming out of the woodwork. Unfortunately, most of them just want to play. We shall see how it goes.

    That's awesome, RC! Glad to hear that things are going well. I hope that they continue down that path for you guys.

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Well, I finally heard back from the one guy that I had emailed and exchanged pg pics with tonight. He was gone on a conference and hadn't checked his email. He seems promising but we will have to see. He is in an open marriage and his wife is mono but is okay with him doing his thing. He is not...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Well, that will be a crush enjoyed and moved on from he is happily mono and engaged. That's cool though. We got Brenna's evaluation today and he wrote at the bottom..."B's reading is clearly advanced beyond her years." :) She has 1 class left and then we start school. We have her school room 90%...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Well, we talked more after the kids went to bed. I am allowed to invite him over for dinner. His concern is that we can't be sure if he is open to poly and since he's B's teacher he could cause us problems if he has a problem with it in regards to the well being of the kids. I told him that it's...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    He claims that he just doesn't think that it's appropriate for parents to be attracted to their children's teachers but I think that's just his excuse. He has told me previously that he prefers that I find a married poly man so that he won't feel as threatened by him but that it isn't mandatory...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Well, M says that inviting him for dinner is inappropritate in his opinion and refuses to talk about it anymore. I guess I was right at the beginning of the day, this guy will be relegated to the unrealized crush category and I will move on. M and I need to have a serious conversation tonight...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    I figured out a way to kill two birds with one stone....I am going to invite him over for dinner after the last class and let him know that any significant other he has is also welcome. That serves the purposes of determining if he has an so or not and gets him away from the classroom setting...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Well, I am not sure that you understand. He knows that I am married as the class that she is taking requires that the parents attend the class with them. I also wear a wedding band. The reason that I thought a letter would be best is that I don't want the other parents to hear me asking out the...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    I can't say 100% that he would remain secondary but that is the most likely to happen. I am going to write a detailed letter and hand it to him at the very end of the class and include my email and cell number if he chooses to contact me. Also, I will give him M's contact info so that he can...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    If he is open to poly and wants to try it knowing that most likely he will remain secondary and that he is free to explore other relationships if he is also poly as opposed to mono then I'll give it a go. If he's not, that is also fine and I will continue on my search. I am not hurting right...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Lol, I didn't think that my choosing not to pursue a relationship with someone because I can see the pitfalls would be so contentious. I appreciate everyone's feedback. I am actually more concerned with hurting him and my children than myself. I am sure that at some point, I will find someone...

    New poly couple going slowly,somewhat.

    Also, B really likes him and I worry that if he is up for it and it doesn't work out for whatever reason that she would be hurt as well. I have to think of her and Q above myself right now as they are only 5 and 3.
