they’re good……….. but could get a little messy if either party gets emotionally attached, and the other isn’t.

then things could get ‘needy’.. been there.. and was so ashamed of myself, honestly! Who does that? I looked back and thought ‘What was i thinking?’!! And for the record, that was BEFORE i had Maddie.

I have pondered close to the line before, and i know it sounds weird, but it’s true, but i didn’t want him to have that power over me. So that one ended..

It’s hard i guess.. if sometime in the future (ie. before xmas he he he.. kidding!) someone of ‘maintenance’ material pops up, i definetly wouldn’t rule it out.. Just because i’ve had a bad experience before, doesn’t mean this one has to.. right?

He’s ‘Maintaing Mommy’ of course lol!

LMAO! Yes i actually got one of those for the first time over the 4th of July – but ironically, once i had decided he could be my maintenance man, he got cold feet and took his tool and went home.. boo hiss! But a few screws were tightened in the bedroom before he left

I have one, should I ever need him. He has always made it clear that he is there if I need him. We flirt, have fun, make my ex jealous but haven’t sealed the deal. Somehow that makes it all the more fun.

I blogged about him awhile ago – insert shameless self promotion here….

I do have one! Brooks, but he’s not a friend ‘with benefits’ and doesn’t help around the bedroom… quite like that…

Yeah, not like that… nope, not an option

You guys are funny… I expected the comments to be all about Mommy Maintenance work (IN THE BEDROOM – hint, hint). But I’m glad everyone has a man to help around the actual house…

I currently guilt-trip the deadbeat’s dad to come over and fix stuff, or my car….anything I can swindle since the man loves me more than his own son (yeah, cause I actually bring his granddaughter over to see him).
