So, the last time we spoke, I was all hot about the baby daddy’s mental state.  Without totally boring you, I will BRIEFLY update you on what’s been going on.  So, since that time, many Dos XX’s and beef stew mixed with episodes of Criminal Minds and Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls, (Which by the way, he can tame my wild side any day…and his British Accent makes me forget about bad teeth and stinky arm pits) we have exchanged  many, many, many words (and dirty looks), but have come to an agreement.  One I’m happy and content with and one that he’s going to have to live with.  At first I felt bad, but he just cannot sleep on my sofa.  Seriously. Anyway- he is FINALLY employed and has been working on his feelings of desperation-daily.  I’m glad-I mean, it’s so exhausting for me to be the “rock” he needs.  I just want to be his friend.  I can’t be his rock, and my daughter’s rock, and the mom and woman I’m meant to be.  I’m suffocating here!  I mean-we aren’t even married.  Wait, back that up-we aren’t even dating, a couple, roommates, whatever you want to call it.  Nothing.  Just friends-who live in separate homes, and have separate lives-except when it comes to our child.  So what type of committment do I really have to have for him afterall?  You know?  What do you think?  That will forever be the question in everyone’s mind…and They ALL have different answers. 

Believe me, I’ve heard them all.

Anyway-I just have to post this so if you don’t love them too-screw you: 

My alma-mater.  My beloved Longhorns.  My heart hurts for them and the burnt orange nation.  My heart hurts for Colt McCoy.  My brother (who also hurt me my attending a university outside of the 40 acres), couldn’t have said it better-except I don’t have a penis:

“Seeing people wearing UT gear makes me giddy on the inside.  Then I think about Colt McCoy…tight pants.”   

And here is a letter that Colt wrote to UT fans and Fellow Longhorns in the Daily Texan:

To the City of Austin and Longhorn fans everywhere:

My time at the University of Texas has been filled with countless memorable experiences, from the 45 wins I was fortunate enough to be a part of to the Big 12 Championship this past season. You have been there for me through everything and have shown your unwavering support. You have always believed in me, and for that I will be forever grateful.

As much as I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life, I am also saddened at the thought of leaving. I have loved being a student and an athlete at the University of Texas, and every second I wore the Longhorn uniform was special to me. This school and this city hold a special place in my heart that words can’t describe, and I intend to remain an active part of this community that has given me so much.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will carry your cheers and support with me always. Regardless of where my next stop may be, I will forever be a Texas Longhorn.

Hook ’em!
Colt McCoy

Amen. 

And to all of you that read and have been asking me when I will post another blog, I’ve missed you-more to come soon.  Thanks for sticking around.  xoxo
