You'r...Miss Dallas - You are going to be GREAT. You're a kind, loving person, and you've already cared for a child for 8 hours, which is 8 hours ahead of where I was when I had J. Admittedly, it is hard as all hell in the beginning and for me it took a while to think it was fun, but it is, it's so much fun.<br /><br />Tia - I completely understand your age deadline, but I also wouldn't get all stressed out about it. You totally have time to decide. You would have an awesome kid, because, as my friend Jane told me years ago, you get the kid that suits you. And whoever your kid is, I've come to the conclusion that you think it's the most amazing kid on the planet.<br /><br />jill - I do struggle with voicing my feelings, I know. I'm working on it.<br /><br />Go-Betty - Ha, he's safe. I totally checked him out before considering a marriage proposal. :)<br /><br />kayare - Hugs for that! Thank you!<br /><br />Melanie - Oh, hi hi hi! I'm so excited that you read my blog! You have a gorgeous family! I know - life is easier without kids, and I didn't feel like I was missing anything, but I feel like I have so much MORE than I did. It's exhausting, and so rich and delicious as well.<br /><br />Keenie Beanie - I must mention that there was also some flax seed and blackberries in there.<br /><br />Hillary - That makes me really happy! Thanks!<br /><br />Stevie - Hahaha - I don't know. My acupuncturist said I need more protein, so I now have a giant bag from Costco. <br /><br />And you are so right - there are lots of people who should just go ahead and wank rather than impregnating someone. <br /><br />lacochran - I think the people who are rationally considering it beforehand are likely to be better parents than the ones who just rush in blindly or accidentally. But I could be completely wrong.<br /><br />frugalveganmom - I was terrified of changing diapers, and it turns out to be very straightforward. There's no big trick to wiping off poo and smearing on butt cream and putting on a diaper.<br /><br />It is true that your life is going to change oh so radically, and I do miss the days of tea and Sunday paper in bed for hours and hours. I never understood when parents would sigh nostalgically about their pre-kid lives, but in the next breath say they could never imagine their lives without their child...but now I do. I miss aspects of the old but Jordan is my world and I like it that way.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-62780472662596185172011-01-17T16:16:33.618-05:002011-01-17T16:16:33.618-05:00I'm in the same boat as Miss Dallas - except a...I'm in the same boat as Miss Dallas - except a few weeks instead of a few months, and still no practice changing a diaper. <br /><br />Laying in bed with Nathan this morning (or ummm, at 1 p.m.) I got all choked up thinking we have maybe four more weekends just us, and where we are so leisurely that reading the newspaper is my main activity of the day. <br /><br />So, don't delete your post...I need to keep hearing that being a parent will be wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-67364887092229984862011-01-17T16:16:30.313-05:002011-01-17T16:16:30.313-05:00I think there are way too many bad parents out the...I think there are way too many bad parents out there.

Unless you're proselytizing about the benefits of masturbation, which you've outlined nicely above.<br /><br />Some people should never be parents. Most people, however, benefit from the occasional masturbatory session if only to avoid making really bad choices that might, in the extreme, make them parents.<br /><br />You are hilarious. Keep it up! BTW, those walnuts may have been irradiated.

But apparently, God and my reproductive system had different plans. I can't imagine my life or my heart without them. And, while they do wreak havoc on every part of my sanity, my freedom and my wallet, they make my life have meaning that no animal ever did. My twin 2 year olds already do more than sit, stay and shake and definitely sleep alot less than 20 hrs a day. While I do wish the babysitter had come thru on more than one occasion, I never feel like I've missed anything! <br /><br />P. S. Love reading your blog Lisa, keeps me laughing!

I'm on the fence. After a happy hour last night FULL of screaming kids, B wants the Big V today! It's SUCH a hard decision. If I could get a great kid, we'd go for it today. But there aren't any guarantees....Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470163614190777624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-63098505115696419262011-01-17T12:41:38.537-05:002011-01-17T12:41:38.537-05:00Holy crap that's hilarious!
