Good morning. DS will be here in a few hours, then we are heading to a friend's house to make cookies. Her parents adore DS so I think they will be excited to see him

A guy from eHarmony and I have gone to the texting aspect of getting to know each other... Immediately he asks for my name and a picture! I said no, I don't give my last name right away to protect me and my son. Now he is giving me a hard time about it. Ugh. I'm thinking we aren't going to even get to a date like this.

Just tell him your name is 'Regina Falangi'! I hope you watch Friends so you get the reference!

Lol. no I don't. He continued giving me grief about it so I told him this won't work. He said he agreed and called me paranoid. Perhaps, but i would rather be a little paranoid and keep me and my son safe than put s at risk for anything. I've had a stalker before. It's scary

I totally agree with you! My ex-h was arrested for stalking me during our separation. It was super scary. I was scared to walk around my college campus alone. It's weird that he is pressuring you, and then calling you paranoid. It sounds like he may be a little paranoid if he doesn't want to go out with you without knowing your first and last name, blood type, date of last tetanus shot, and future names of your unborn children! He's the weirdo!
DDs are getting their hair cut and then we're off to see Santa. I'm hoping DD2 is finally old enough that she will at least sit in the vicinity of him and smile long enough for a picture.

I just woke up. Feeling better but still crappy. Can't decide if I should finish shopping for the kids and do laundry or if I should put something off until tomorrow.

I'm exhausted. J stayed over last night and woke up at 2am with something wrong with his 'neck, swelling and pain. Now he's at the ER getting a cat scan. I ran home to make him something to eat. Weird deal and i hope he's ok!

Ew. Already not respecting boundaries. Next!
Yep. I was willing to give him the first comment figuring sense of humor. But after 4th or 5th I just got uncomfortable. I usually like to give the guy a date or two before I give my last name.

Today is my "me day" before I fly home for Christmas. Unfortunately my me day also involves going to the post office to mail some last minute things, laundry and some last minute bill paying. There will be netflix binging in between though!
My son is the sweetest kid in the world. He's 9 and he just told me that he's so happy to be on Christmas break because he'll get to spend more time with me. He also said I'm on the "good list" this year because I always help him with all his problems.

I'm being all mopey today, but I have got SO much to do and need to get my act together. It's always hard for me when the kids are gone, but I spend most of the weekends at BF's house, and that always makes for a nice distraction. We got in a fight last night, and it's still bugging me. We never fight...like NEVER. This was our second fight in 1.5 years. It has me all out of sorts because I'm not used to being at odds with him. We've made up, but it's still bugging me. The holidays are such a mindfuck for me. They make me overly sensitive and bitchy.
I still have gifts to buy. It's too late for online shopping now, and I just CAN'T with the malls right now. I'm hoping I come up with some good ideas that I can get in as few stores as possible.
I made my parents a Shutterfly book for Christmas, and it's def going to be "the cry gift" this year. We always have 1 or 2 gifts that make someone cry. This will definitely be one of them, considering I made the damn thing and I cried just now when I opened the box.

I don't think it's really that weird to want to know what someone's name is and see a picture of them before going out. If I'm at the point of giving someone my number then presumably I'm ok with them knowing my name and seeing a photo of me. That and I would want a name to put in my phone. OP goes by a nickname anyway so it's not like she would be giving out her government name anyway
I have been baking up a storm today, gingerbread cookies, chexless party mix, coconut cherry bars, commander salamanders, rolo turtles. I might take a nap soon before I take a shower for my white elephant Xmas party.
I'm so furious at xh. I tried to FaceTime with P and there was no response. A few hours later I texted him and asked what was going on. He said P isn't with him, he's with xhs sister. Xh is five hours away in Sacramento. Wtf??? So he was fighting to have his time with him and now he's not even with him. Then I called Xsil and she isn't answering or texting back. I just want to know that P is ok.

I think you're overreacting to be furious that your son is spending time with his aunt. Unless there is some backstory on her.

No. No backstory on her but I have no way to communicate with P now. Xh has begged and pleaded for more time with P, he gets it and then pawns him off on his sister while he's five hours away? Seems like a very strange move to me. I'm furious because I want to talk to my child and neither xh or Xsil are communicating with me.
I need to just vent about my mother--nothing new about that. At her request, we planned an early Christmas dinner for tomorrow. She's heading down south Monday so I told her that she and her bf could come here and I will cook and we will exchange gifts. I went and bought a fairly pricey piece of meat and planned to pick up more groceries and wine and do some baking today. All was planned and confirmed up until last night....
This morning she texts me to call her ASAP. She proceeded to tell me that her company today cancelled because they are sick and that J and I should come have dinner there (as she was already cooking) and to cancel tomorrow's dinner because now they're leaving tomorrow instead of Monday. Im so aggravated. I tried to please her and planned to make a nice dinner even though my heart isn't really in it with the holidays. And she goes and pulls this shit. I broke down in tears to J about how I miss my stepdad and nana and this just isn't fair. He is annoyed at her (for me) as well because she is really being selfish and it's all about her and what she demands. He's a quiet guy and never wants to get into it with her because she's my mom and respects her. But he said he's at his wits end with this shit as well and said she really gives him no reason to like her at this point. I did not grow up in a dysfunctional family, but now I have one. It's sad and embarrassing and really taking a toll on me. I wish J was in my life earlier when we were a normal family. But I can't change that. I can't change any of what's happening. Now I have to go wrap her damn gifts and pretend I'm happy to be there. Fuck.
Ah, @blueyes623, I am sorry. Sounds like you had planned quite a nice dinner. Go enjoy your time with her, and relish in the fact that now, you have all day tomorrow to relax and eat the pricey meat with J. Stop and get a fine bottle of bubbly to toast while eating said pricey meat.
