Kids?

So I took my niece and nephew this weekend to help out my sister. I'm left with a few lessons:

1. Projectile vomiting without drinking liquor is not only possible, but happened in my living room.

2. A bottle of milk just doesn't fix everything.

3. Carving pumpkins is a lot more fun and interactive if everyone is healthy.

As you can probably guess, my 8 year old nephew and my 18 month old niece had the flu, not as fun a weekend as I had expected. I realized how much work goes into kids. I feel old, and not ready for kids yet. I'm almost 30, and Rich and I have been talking about taking the plunge next year around this time. OMG.

You are so free without kids! You don't have to worry about pointy objects being left out, you don't have to fear deviation from bedtime. Rich and I don't really bring home viruses. Neither do the dogs. Oh yeah, and diapers are 40 cents each. I don't use anything ten times a day that costs 40 cents per use!!!!

I'll probably still be more than ready to pop out kids next year, but man this was a rough weekend.

PS I will say cuddling with a baby and your husband is a good thing. It feels right, and good. Neither Rich or I had ever done that before...
