Pluses and Minuses

Things are starting to look up in CFT land.

I got a job. This is a good thing.

My hubby arrives soon. Double, super good thing.

I had a good long weekend. I got burnt, but hey, life happens.

What do these seemingly uninteresting things have to do with being CF?

My job is at a catholic school. You know how THEY can be, right? The priest asked me if hubby and I had kids. I was honest and I said that no, we did not want to have children. He gave me that *oh so sorry* look and I said: (I don't know WHERE I got this from...)

"If I had kids, someone would suffer, either my own children or my students. I have chosen to make my students the #1 priority in my life as far as children go. I don't feel I can be a truly effective teacher with my own children at home."

GO ME!! Did I ace that interview or what??!!!

This weekend, with friends, one of our friends was talking about her upcoming wedding and how as soon as she is married, she's stopping the pill. She obviously wants kids. She turns to me, married for just under a year, and says, "OH! I just KNOW you will be pregnant by the end of next year!!"

*sigh*

I say "OH no, I won't. I can guaran-fucking-tee it!"

She says again that she thinks I will. I just shook my head.

I give her credit in that she never pushed it beyond that and then started talking about her own baby plans.

I also met Bob this weekend. Bob is the cutie pet dog of my friends. I got all gushy and cutesy with Bob and did the whole "You're such a good boy, Bob. Sooo cute!!" My friends asked why I can't do that to babies. I said babies are NOT cute, hense, not possible to do that. :P

All in all, a good CF weekend.

How's you all doing?
