Life has a weird way of working itself out.

My life has been super-weird lately with all the planets alternately aligning and falling completely out of order. Has anyone else had this happen?

For example, my job. While many times it has been completely frustrating, the job of late has had definite upturns as well. Then yesterday I got a call I was anticipating: the IU Foundation wants me to write grants for them. It would mean a big jump in cashola and an office downtown again. The downside -- I actually like my job here and this would mean starting all over. I told them I'd let them know by Friday. They seemed amenable to that. As for what I will do job-wise, I am not sure. There are many things about my current job I love and as for the co-workers I have, I could not ask for better. The flip side is that it is more money and that affords some good opportunities for other things ...

Last week's visit by the golf guy was important as well. I haven't mentioned on here the issues I've been having, simply because I was trying to work them out on my own/deny their existence. I don't know any better way to say this than just flat out: I am two months pregnant. I confirmed what I had suspected yesterday with a trip to my Dr.'s office -- and now I'm scared out of my mind. I need to tell the golf guy, need to figure out my life, and of course the job thing ... it rains, it pours. As of right now, I will stay where I am living, will most likely be a single parent and will sort everything out as it comes. Needless to say I will be pretty overwhelmed here for, well, hell, I don't know how long. So dating is no longer an issue. Now I have to tell the IrishBoy, the young'un and the artist that I'm not planning on dating them any more. ai yi yi.

Other than that, I have been living, working and trying to make my way. Oh yes, and plotting a good april fool's joke for all to read on this blog. Happy April Fool's Day All. (No, I'm not pregnant (thank you jeebus!!) and no I'm not going to work for IU)

I fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker. The look on my face in the office was priceless and if not for CCM, I would still believe it. Good Job, lady. You had me.
