It's Wednesday! — Cape Super Moms

For as long as I can remember Wednesday nights have been it. I’ll admit it. It isn’t really super convenient. Mid-week. Hump day. Work in the AM. But I’ll take it. Wednesday nights have always been Bensday with his dad. Even when we were married, it was Wednesday. I’d work. Ben would spend the evening enjoying quality time with my ex-in-laws and his dad.

Chances are if you want to hang out, meet me for a WOD, have casual sex or grab a drink – Wednesday night is your best chance. I know I’ll always be free on Wednesdays. I’ve talked about our parenting plan before. It’s set in stone. If I need to get something done, I will always schedule it on a Wednesday.

Sometimes it creates a problem. One night. So many things. Do I go to book club or do I call an old friend? Do I meal prep or do I go to the gym? Most of the time, Wednesdays are the busiest day of the week for me.

As a single mom, I have very little free time. My schedule is jam packed. I don’t really have time to focus on a serious relationship. It just wouldn’t be fair. My priority is Ben and our life. Right now, adding another person into that crazy just doesn’t make sense. So maybe a causal relationship is the right move. Here are a few things that I know:

1. Never introduce them to Ben

2. No expectations

3. Keep things private

4. No emotional attachments

5. No interfering with my “real” life

Instead of going to the gym tonight, I decided to head home and make chicken tortilla soup, catch up on Scandal, stretch and relax. Things didn’t go quite as planned and there was no soup and I’m ok with that.
