clean. And this is when I was married!
The worst part was one time I got home, and Tom questioned – Why are you always late?
I replied with – why do you not pick the kids up then?
His response – because I have a convertible, how am I supposed to pick them up, they cannot fit in the car.
That was another thing he did, when I was pregnant with Eric he went to buy himself a convertible. Claimed he always wanted one, and sold his family car for the convertible. We were all in shock. That night, he came home, and told me, not to worry about buying him a birthday present, because he had bought himself the best present every, and it took all our savings, but do not worry, technically half of it was mine.
Half of what I questioned, as he covered my eyes and lead me to the garage. The shock on my face when I saw the car. I must admit it was nice. But, it was the last thing on my mind. Especially with 3 kids in the house. I assumed he went to buy a bigger house, or at least thought about it.
We could not do that after he used up all our savings.
Maybe Mom was right, I was thinking of this site that Pamela at work had told me about. She used it 3 years ago, and was happily married again. She was sweet, pretty much in the same situation as me. But she had 1 child. Did that really make a difference? Well, according to my Mom it did. I just did not agree.
I went into the office. Greeted by all, and returned the greeting. I do love my job, been doing it for 8 years. Everyone said, I should leave and aim for higher. Why should I? When I had a great boss, Derek who every year supplements my bonus, and helps me out whenever he can. Two years ago, I was swamped, what he did – hire an assistant for me. Said that allowed me to get to work a bit later and leave a bit earlier. He said he did not want to lose me. I know I am good at my job, would not say I was that good.
The problem is I have worked in a lot of places. Especially when the kids were younger. Each year I had to change my job, due to the bills increasing and the pay not matching the increase in bills, or the boss being even more demanding. This boss was perfect in my eyes. Whenever I told Mom she would always have the same reply, is he single? And yes he was.
Morning, how are you? – Kyle my assistant would ask
Fine, I would reply, you good
Sure, we have a lot on this week, with the new appraisals – Kyle would respond.
I nod, thinking is it that time already, I thought it was next week.
Great, I would not be leaving early today, or rather he would not be. The joys of having an assistant!
Kyle was the type of assistant that everyone wanted in their house, lives, work and even the gym. If there was something that needed organising Kyle could do it.
He found it a challenge. No, do not touch that Kimberley I want to see if I can do it at the same time, that I pull of the report of the monthly figures, or I could do it I am going to lunch, and I do not mind. He did not mind anything, if it meant getting ahead and getting to know the right people.
If it was to my surprise, that two years later he was still with me. Then one night, he confessed, he had fallen in love and his life was taking a different turn, he met him on this chat dating site. He was not so worried about getting ahead but more interested in getting on with life.
Sweet
I think tonight when I get home, I will try that website. I just cannot remember the name. When, I see PamelaI will ask. The problem is I do not want to ask her, because before I know it every minute she will be asking me if I am having any luck. And to make matters worse she will then offer me help.
I am a bit embarrassed about the whole thing. I mean I cannot get a man via the old fashioned way - go on blind dates by being introduced by friends, go out for a drink, bump into him on the way to
