Yesterday was my daughter's kindergarten graduation...... and yes, Hot Daddy was there.
I posted on my Facebook status that I was wanted to talk to him, but was probably going to chicken out. My friends began to leave comments. Everyone encouraging me to go talk to him.
There was moments when I actually considered it. Like when he first got there and we BOTH did double takes at one another, a moment when we passed one another in the aisle... each acknowledging each other with a half smile and a nod.... another when I was in line behind him to pick up my kiddo, and several times when I could see him out of the corner of my eye, looking my way. But when it came down to it... it would just be weird.
My friends said "Just introduce yourself to him!"
But the thing is.... that wouldn't work.... I mean, what would I say...
"Hi, I'm J's mom. Remember me? We use to be friendly, you use to open the door for me, you use to walk across the street with me to get our kids. But then you stopped and started parking somewhere else. Do you want to meet for lunch sometime? Oh yeah, what is your name so I can stop calling you Hot Daddy? And one more thing, I write a blog, and I happened to mention you in it.... can I take your picture so all my readers can see you?"
I just don't think that would go over very well.
I am going to use this as a learning experience.
This is what I learned:
-Even though I have 3 kids, I am cute, men will notice me.
-Smiling at a man, is a great way to let him know I am interested.
-Do NOT tell 5 year old that I think someone's dad is hot .... UNLESS, I honestly want her to pass along the information.
-Do NOT let my friends encourage me to take pictures of men, without thier knowledge. Those same friends, will then turn it around and accuse me of stalking. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! That will not happen again!
What I gained the most from this experience was boost in my self-esteem. When my ex left me, I felt like my self worth was at a -10. Hot Daddy was the first man, that I am aware of, that noticed me, and made sure that I noticed him. And for that, I will be forever grateful, but now it is time to move on.

Alex, I would like, WHO IS Hot Daddy, for 100 please
Someone recently told me, that when I started dating again, that I would revert back to my old dating habits from the last time I was "dating". Well, I was 19 when I got engaged, so ummmm, yeah, I'm screwed! I'm not even dating yet and I get giddy just talking about guys that I hope to be able to meet and maybe date.
Tonight, I was getting ready to make my kids lunches for school tomorrow. I was going through their backpacks, pulling out all the old paperwork, when I pull out a half sheet of paper from my Kindergartener's bag.
It reads:
We have spent so much time together this year and I know some of you might want to keep in touch over the summer. This is strictly voluntary. If you would like to participate, please fill in the information listed below and return by Friday, June 3rd so that I can compile a directory and send out by next week. Thank you.

YES! YES! YES! Sign me up PLEASE! I would like to schedule a play date with...... drumroll please... Hot Daddy!
No, I am not really going to call him, (mostly because I would clam up and start to stutter, and then giggle and then ...HANG UP! Which doesn't work very well now a days, with caller ID!) But of course, it did cross my mind. But I'm not gonna lie, I am totally excited to find out what Hot Daddy's real name is! Why? I don't know.... I just am!

Red T-Shirt = HOT
I have been making "lists", some mental and some that I actually write down, of what I want in a husband. I even sat down with my girls one night, and I had them tell me qualities that they want someone I date to have. That list is somewhere in a box.... (lots of those around since the move). It is the cutest list of 25 or so things, one of which includes, -HE MUST SHAKE HIS BUTT! If I ever unpack, I will share it with ya'll.
One thing that made that made my list (mental) and also made my girls list, is -I MUST BE ATTRACTED TO HIM. (Ummmm, duh, but I did think it was nice of my girls to consider that.)
So I have been going back over, in my mind, what I am attracted to. Let me just say, I do NOT have a set type. And some of you are going to find some of the things I find attractive.... ummm, strange. Two of my friends have already made fun of me today for the next thing I am going to tell you.
THE HOT OUTFIT- Now, what I find "hot" and what you find "hot" are probably totally different. But, here is one of my favorite hot outfits.
Red T-shirt (not to baggy) Jeans, and Thongs. (And NO, I do not mean "up your butt thongs")
And the other thing that I totally can't resist, is a guy in a zip up hoodie sweatshirt.!
Preferably, a surf or skater brand one.
Now, I know this may sound crazy to some of you... but it's just something that I find irresistible. Just the way some men like women in high heels, and short skirts.... I love me man in those casual items. Maybe it's the "California Girl" in me... but that's just me.
Now don't get me wrong, I have been known to check out all types, surfer, skater, prep, wanna be hippie, business man, hunter, sports fanatic, computer geek, and I even have a cousin in Texas on the lookout for a single, sexy, cowboy for me. The type I guy that I ultimately end up with is not important. Honestly what matters is that he treats me (and my daughters) well. But I'm not gonna lie, it sure wouldn't hurt if he was wearing my favorite outfit.
Oh yeah, one more thing, I saw Hot Daddy this morning when I dropped the girls off at school. Guess what he was wearing! HmmmmMmmmm! (Minus the hoodie, this is Arizona, ya know!)

Relearning To Flirt and HOT DADDY
Back in 2000, after I had been married for about 2 years, I realized that I had forgotten how to flirt. We were down in San Felipe, Mexico for a week with family. I was down at the beach, just putting my feet in the ocean, when a jeep full of guys came driving up. They were about 50 so feet away. They yelled for me to come over to them. Now, normally, I would have been excited, gone over to them and flirted, and of course, there would have been nothing wrong with going over there and saying hi, but I didn't. Instead, I froze! My mind started racing "I'm married! I can't go over there, I'm married!" So , instead of of walking over there and having a friendly conversation, I turned around and ran into the ocean. The guys started yelling crude names at me, and drove away. Over the years, it didn't get much better, if a cute guy so much as flashed me a smile, I wouldn't even look at him. I had completely lost "my flirt".
I have realized that I am going to have to start flirting again. That is where HOT DADDY comes in. Hot Daddy is the father of a little boy in one of my daughters classes. One day I thought to myself, "I would like someone to flirt with." And then I noticed, Hot Daddy. He is one of those guys that knows he is good looking, you can tell it by the way he walks. One day, after school, I was holding my daughter's hand as we crossed the street to go to the car. I knew that Hot Daddy was walking behind us. I heard him say to his son, "What's that little girls name." I heard him respond with my daughters name, I turned around and smiled at him. He smiled back. (See now, that wasn't so hard.)
The next day, when I got to the school to pick up the girls, I waited until I saw his silver mini van (not so hot), drive up and park. Then I got out and headed across the street. I could hear him walk fast behind me, and then slow down as he caught up with me, so that we were walking side by side. I was pushing my youngest in a stroller, and there were a lot of kids blocking the sidewalk. He said to me, "Let me clear the way for you.", and then he start moving kids out of the way, as if parting the red sea, to make room for the stroller. I thanked him, and he said, "See, we make a good team." Oh crap, I totally started freaking out on the inside..... how do I respond to that? Quick! Think of something clever and witty to say, but all that came out was, "Yes we do." I guess that wasn't the worst thing I could say, I just knew that if I was better prepared I could have come up with a much better response.
Every day after that, I would wait in the car, until he drove up, and then get out and head across the street. He would walk fast to catch up, and then walk next to me. We would small talk and he would open the door for me. It was fun. I had no intention of things ever going any where with him. It was just, after years of being really down on myself and feeling unattractive, it felt good to have a man notice me.
Then there was a brief moment in time when my ex led me to believe that he wanted to get back together. (Which lasted about 3 minutes,) So I put back on my wedding ring. I was walking to my daughters class, and Hot Daddy was walking next to me, and the sun was shining in my eyes. I put my hand up, to cover my eyes from the glare, and he must have noticed my ring, because he took off. He stopped walking with me, even started parking in a different parking lot. It has been 5 months, and he still wont even say "hi" to me. Of course he did the right, thing, but it's not like there was ever anything even between us. Really, our small talk wasn't anything different then I have with other moms at the school, while we wait for our kids to come out of class.
So, you are probably wondering why I bring up Hot Daddy, if that is all there is to the story. Well, my mom was in town the other day, to help me unpack. She went with me to pick up the girls from school. Walking out of the building, she almost ran into Hot Daddy. I said "Mom, that was Hot Daddy." She said that he didn't look like she expected him to look. But I said to her, "But you noticed him." He may not be the "type" I normally would go for, but he does not go unnoticed. My daughter heard me talking about Hot Daddy and wanted to know who I was talking about. I told her that Gabe's dad was hot.
The next day, driving home from school, she said "I told Gabe that you think his dad is hot." Oops! Do not tell 5 year olds things that you do not want repeated. So if anything comes of this, I will let you know.
I did happen to notice a Hot Daddy #2, the other day, and I think I caught him checking me out. My kids have 3 weeks left of school, maybe I will get to practice flirting some more. We shall see!
