A Single Daddy’s Blog

Single Parenting from a Father’s Perspective.

Well, Easter has come and gone and so has Anastasia’s birthday. Once again, Anastasia is spoiled. I know this, yet she is my only child, so, am I wrong for spoiling her? The jury is still out on that one.

Anyway, I changed my phone number recently because Anastasia’s school will not call me long distance.

Let me explain.

I only have a cell phone, no house phone. I can’t justify getting a house phone when my cell phone is with me all the time and a house phone would cost close to the same amount, and in addition to, my cell phone bill. So when I moved to Arizona from Las Vegas I didn’t change my cell phone number. Although it has caused an issue a few times at Anastasia’s school because they will not call a long distance number.

So I used this ‘reason’ to justify switching to AT&T and getting a new shiny iPhone. I love the iPhone, although I am not to thrilled with AT&T. We will see how it goes. So that is the ‘new’ part.

Now on to the surprising part.

About a year ago I broke up with a girl I was dating for almost six years. I have written plenty on this and I refuse to write anymore about the relationship or break up, although in the past few weeks I was a little surprised.

After almost six years you would think that anyone I was dating for that long would have contacted Anastasia just to wish her a Happy Birthday. Now, I understand that I changed my number and I will not get texts sent to the old number, although the old number does still forward to the new number and will forward for the next year or so. I just thought it a little strange that I or Anastasia did not get a call, text, card, nothing from my ex. Like I said, maybe it is the fact that she did, and I just didn’t get it, who knows.

I haven’t said anything and I am pretty sure Anastasia has not thought about it. So, I guess it’s ‘no harm, no foul.’
