Rave!! my DBoyfriend
I've been dating this good guy for a few years, with me it's been hard. I've been through the wringer in my past marriage and it's hard for me to "let" someone in, and to trust that they're going to be there when it really counts.
My db has been so patient and understanding with me through all of this and has been wonderful, but I still had doubts not because of anything he's done but because of how I've been treated in the past. Well I have to say yesterday he "proved" to me that he can be. I don't like the word proved but it fits.
My ds got hurt at school yesterday (nothing major) but the staff at our school overreacts a lot and well any it's a long story.
I was out with a gf and had forgotten my cell phone at school and I had my db as my emergency contact instead of their dad (long story again). WELL when my son hurt his foot at school yesterday they called my bf and he arranged it to be out of work for the whole afternoon so that he could bring my son home and take care of him! 
I know that for a dad to do that is normal (hopefully) but it really meant a lot to me that he did that. I keep telling him how wonderful I thought that was and how much I appreciate it etc. To me that one thing shows that I really can count on him when it matters.
IF they hadn't gotten a hold of him they would have called my ex and he would have had to go and get him and my ex would have been an a** about it and gave me a lot of grief about not being "available".
I want to do a little something special for him, to say thank you. Any ideas?
geezzz my typing was horrible in there lol
This is wonderful to see him "prove" himself like this in the dedication to u and ur family. congrats on finding a keeper for life.
Now as for something special for him. I think a long massage and some special time together.
but also to let him know the kid appreciates it let him make the DB a special batch of cookies or cake. and maybe have a talk with the kid about how ( tho i know most parents wont do this talk cuz its stepping over some boundaries.) but id say something like wasnt nice that "Jon" was able to be there for You and I when we needed him. I think this is going to be a good opportunity to start showing the kid how a real family functions and relies on each other.
Ohhhhhhhh! Good idea Jewlz! Thanks for the congrats
It's seems karma may be working in your favor this week, Catherin!!! You must be all smiles inside and out.
I'm having suchhhhh a great week Annie! I sure hope this keeps up lol..we just came back from the store my boy and I are going to bake him choco chip cookies tomorrow.
That was very helpful of him!
Catherin- You and your kids are worth it !!! Just tell the man Thank You!! ;) Then again, I am just not a mushy person. lol
BTW- I was in my friends house all day the other day without my cell phone on me... We got started scrubbing her tile and ended up working all afternoon. When I got in my truck to leave I had 5 missed calls and 3 voicemails. 1 from school and 2 from dh... OOPS! *blushing* My ds (8th grader) was throwing up at school and dh had to leave work and go get him. My ds didnt have the flu- the coach made them sprint almost all of practice that morning and he started throwing up and could not get over it.  He slept all afternoon that day.
So you're not the only Mom that forgets her cell phone.
He sounds like a keeper!
Catherin, he sounds like a great guy! So happy for you.
Your poor son, Conni. Sounds like the coach pushed them pretty hard. I hope he's okay.
Thanks, he is.
Awwwww Conni! why did he push him so hard? Poor guy! I hope he's feeling better. I'm happy to hear I'm not the only mom who does it! lol
Catherin, *perfection* is not part of a mom's job description! LOL
I think it's great that your b/f did that - it shows a certain level of commitment, IMO. :-)
I'll have to write that down and put it on my wall Karen! LOL
I agree it does show a certain level of commitment!
I think cookies and a massage sounds great!!! I'm glad he was there for you. I know some women whose husbands wouldn't even do that (mine would), but anyway, he sounds sweet.
We baked the cookies yesterday and actually I ended up making them with his oldest son as he brought his two over and they spent the day with us. We made dinner together and watched movies and generally had fun! We didn't get any real alone time but I'm sure we will soon.
I love family time!
