One is enough for now...


I received an email from a friend today (no names will be mentioned at this time) telling me that she was pregnant. She's very excited and I'm excited for her. She does however have a young child already and I got to thinking, well, if she thinks she could handle it, maybe I could too. I don't want to say I was necessarily "jealous" of her being pregnant again, but somehow started to feel that maybe I should want to be again. Just as I am responding to her email, in walks Gavin carrying the toilet brush because I forgot to close the bathroom. Sad thing is, this is not the first time he's done that. I hurry and take that away, wash him in every place that may have touched the brush, sit back down to finish my email and he no sooner finds a knitting hook and starts trying to attack the dog with it. Somehow I finished the email, but felt very differently than I had a few minutes before! I can't even control the one I have! So, you know who you are that is having a baby, and I know you'll eventually read this. To you I say, congrats and may your son never bring you the toilet brush!

Oh Janelle! That is TOO funny. I hear ya, everytime I see my fat self in the mirror I say, "What the HELL were you thinking lady" and then when my kids are having one of their less than stellar days I say again, "what the HELL were you thinking lady" and now I am in complete and utter denial that this baby is coming in a month-1 Month-what am I going to do??????? Well, take it slow girl, that is all I can say, take it slow :)

Your post was too funny! I hear ya too -- kids are a handful & a half!!! I don't know what I was thinking having 3 -- they seriously out number me now and are giving me a run for my money! You gotta love them, but you never know what is going on in their little brains and what they are going to present you with next! I hate to tell you but unfortunately the toilet brush is only the beginning hon! It's a roller coaster ride -- lots of twists & turns, ups & downs -- enjoy the ride! :-) And remember we are all here with ya!

Hmmm... I think you should have another one so I can dress him too! I love that shirt on Gav's, actually I love everything I buy him! HA! Don't worry I have many of those days too... but I told myself I can't have another one until I'm done with anatomy! Can you imagine the smell of my lab and being pregnant?! NO WAY!

Love you!

LOL-nice! Ahh..I miss you guys already! Toilet brushes gross me out-we don't have one (good ol' sponge and rubber gloves!). I'll consider that a good thing from now on.... :)
