I would like to thank everyone for their kind words. It has been quite a week and my friends have really stepped up to let me know how much they care about me. It does make me feel less "all alone in the world". Although that still comes and goes.

Anyhow this week I was asked to interview for a position at a law firm that pays much better than the job I have now. I wanted out of that rat race which is why I am where I am. It is too stressful and the commute would be awful. Right now I work at a university, very laid-back, flexible hours, free tuition for up to 3 classes a year and lots of holiday time off. It is great for a single mom and they are very understanding if my kids are sick, I get time for school activities in addition to my vacation and sick time it just works well for me. Yes, I am over-qualified for my job. It isn't difficult but I can move up in the system and get another degree without having to go at night. I had scheduled the interview today and was trying to talk myself into going. I just couldn't do it and called yesterday to thank the recruiter and tell her that I just wasn't interested. I feel good about my decision and will be all right.

As for the dating front, it is going slowly and right now I'm not out there looking. Not interested. I have some close male friends and am getting most of what I need from them.

So that is my life. Taking off a little early today to run some errands, take a quick run (trying to concentrate on my health as my mom was only 65) and spend some time with my kids. The weekend is supposed to be beautiful and we should have a great time. Grandma is taking them Saturday night because she has something she wants to do with them Sunday morning. I may find something fun to do Saturday evening or maybe not. That is all for me.
