The Meaning of Heartbreak
Heartbreak is hearing your daughter sob in the next room because of a boy. I guess the benefits of being the “dumper” goes out the window when your ex-boyfriend turns around and dates your good friend. No amount of mommy love can fix that.
If that happened to me, I would pour myself a shot of bourbon and keep the bottle flowing all night long until I:
(a) passed out while listening to Leonard Cohen songs,
(b) made a belligerent call to one or the both of them telling them what mother-effers they were,
(c) buy myself a ridiculously expensive pair of shoes or
(d) all of the above.
Paige can’t do any of those things.
Middle school sucks ass.

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

frick.
I think Im gonna be C’ing a lot.
dragging my daughter to the mall for new shoes (uh for her
that sentence was poorly structured ))
How terrible! My daughter is only four, so it’s a ways off, but I know it’s inevitable that a boy, or two or more, will make her cry. I hope by then I’ll have figured out how to handle it- both for me and for her.
I can sssooooo relate. my daughter is a junior this year. it doesn’t get any better. she was broken up via text messsage one time…guys are such loosers!! Just tell her not to let him know how much she was hurt, never ever let them know that he hurt you…good luck!!
I am NOT looking forward to those years. Even though I have boys I dread them… I’m going to have to learn the male equivalent of shoe shopping and burboun swilling that doesn’t involve pummeling fists. Middle school flat out sucks donkey balls and unfortunately, that’s not much consolation for the middle schooler.
If you learn a secret, do tell. IN the meantime hang in there and just be there for your daughter. And pass on your love of good shoes!
Happy POW!
Oh so sad. Dating truly does suck. I am so glad that I never have to go through that again.
Goodness, when I think that I am still in the dating arena, it scares me. Maybe Paige and I will be sobbing in our respective rooms at some point – cursing men.
That’s a scary thought.
Wow – I can’t believe this!
