Alright Universe, I'm gonna need the following:
1. An Oreo milkshake, cookies and cream ice cream, or something Oreo-related right now. 2. My back-neighbors to get their shit together with the insurance company and the tree that fell IN THE SUMMER so we can remove it, fix the fence, and sell the damn house. 3. The front and back lawn to be magically trimmed, green, and leaf/branch-free. 4. A huge raise so that I can more comfortably continue hemorrhaging money. 5. Add some Kahlua to that milkshake. And then add a little more. 6. Someone to remind me that I'm pretty, smart, and fun to be around.... and to also give me a manual detailing what men think is good/acceptable communication. 7. My kid to consistently sleep in his own room. 8. My kid to actually behave and listen. 9. My kid to go more than a few hours without whining for dad. 10. Add a brownie sundae to the Oreo-Kahlua milkshake.

Boo! Something to just chill me out (that's legal) would be fantastic. "Really liking" a guy is not as pleasant as I remember it being when I was younger.

MJ, too bad I can't give you some brownies a visitor made. Not good for me as she put in pudding( milk ), but she included Kahlua and coffee in them.
Not sure if any were left today. Did not check.

If you find a manual, I think you should let me and other posters know.

Money and a firmer ass for me!

I'll take #1 and #10 as well, I've given up on everything in between that may apply to me.

I'd love to come back to Orlando and hang out, but someone needs to buy my plane ticket, rent me a car, and let me crash and eat for free! while it's money I couldn't really afford to spend, I really needed that break. I learned that I can be my own tour guide and best company.

You want a manual explaining anything about a man?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
(The rest of your list I can take seriously. But not that request. Been with the same one for a quarter-century; still cannot figure him out.)

See, this is why my original life plan was to be a career woman who only had casual daliances. I apparently knew more about what was best for me at age 18 than I knew at 24. I've been out of the game for so long... what used to be that euphoric butterfly feeling is now a fight between my brain and my "heart" or the overwhelming urge to apply my control-freak nature to personal relationships. LIKE ME, DAMMIT!!!

What you might need right now is just time to be with you. And maybe Mr. Right-For-Tonight. Not a long-term thing. It's lonely right now, especially with that needy little man in your house every night, the one you feed and hug and dress and bathe and love, only to have him whine for his dad anyway. It might get better from here when it comes to your son, and it may get worse before it does. One day at a time, and look for love in the oddest of places. Not anywhere you expect it to be. I don't think you run smack into another relationship. Rather, it will find you when you least expect it, in the last place you'll think to look for it, and it will come upon you not like a raging storm, but more like a fun little sneak attack.

It's pretty normal for a little kid to miss the parent that isn't there. I wouldn't worry about that. I'd worry more if he didn't ask.

I think I'm just lonely in general. I don't have any family or friends here. I joined Meetup a couple of years ago and I've been to a few group events, but I don't seem to really click with anyone too much - guy or girl. There is a mom's group that does nights out, but they are always on a night that I have DS and I can't go... plus they're mostly SAHMs and a lot of the activities are during the workday. There is a girl's group that is pretty fun, but I can't afford to go out with them every weekend. I can only sit home and veg out to Netflix for so long.
