Laughingmom

More about me:

I don't believe in impossible. I enjoy engaging conversation on many subjects affecting humans on an individual, collective, local, domestic and international levels. I prefer to be outdoors, but adore music, dancing and theatre. My children have always been my primary focus, at all points in my life. I have resigned when pressed about going to a football game. Yes, my children and personal time management are just that important (resignation was not accepted; football game was attended). An overarching trait has been to be rational while refraining from being hypocritical. I have a hard time stomaching synthetic drug use or addictions. Not judging; just don't wish to spend my energy in what I consider to be a weak losing battle, and I will not have my children exposed to addicts on a regular basis.

I haven't dated for quite some time. Mostly because I have been focused on my youngest child and studies. Partly because I was weary of past partners that felt compelled to cowardly hide their true natures. I don't wish for anyone to change for me. I'm not going to change for anyone else. If we change, it is because we choose to for ourselves.

I laugh, I cry, I am happy and I get mad...I am a human, no capita required.

The biggest mistake I do not wish to repeat is partnering with someone that doesn't understand most of what comes out of my mouth, or someone that finds anything bucking the status quo to be crazy. I am just that open, direct and committed to never being a poser or yes-man.

About my ideal partner:

Someone that knows and accepts themselves, and is not afraid to consistently be themselves, in all situations.

Someone that understands there is no perfect and that in itself is flawless.

A person that can and does say whoops I'm sorry for... when mistakes can and do arise.

Someone that appreciates being wrong because it betters themselves and others when we realign what we thought we knew.

So, confident, intelligent, courageous, adventurous, loyal yet spontaneous, caring and grit of steal when time and place demand it.

A man that does like children, and not because you like their mom or it's the right thing to say. I mean really like spending time and doing things with children, including when they are (gasp) kids. Children and young adults have many phases. Each one and occasion is unique. As long as we are headed in a positive direction, I am most joyous and look forward to someone else that can laugh or have heart to hearts when they make inevitable mistakes.

I would prefer that you have school age children, but as long a you are open to a bunch of children making loud noises and playing, it is all good.

Must also like to be outdoors and actually regularly go outside in your personal life...not just want to. I love hiking, swimming, cycling, boating etc, and while I am fine going by myself, I would like a partner to enjoy it with.
