sleeping like a baby

After a day spent running errands, specifically getting in and out of the car and then maneuvering through stores with both Amelia and Gretchen multiple times, my tubes have tied themselves. And the thing is that the girls weren’t bad at all. They were just young children. But being a single, childless, 30yr old woman I am not used to that. And the shock to my system was great. I think it would be comparable to something along the lines of inviting an African tribesman to Wisconsin and taking him ice fishing, naked. It makes me swear off ever having anything other than cats.
But then things settle down and, looking at that little innocent face, I think that just maybe having kids might not be so bad after all. After all, they’re so sweet, and it wouldn’t be this hard forever, right? And eventually they’d be old enough to clean the litter boxes for me.

Just so you don’t say I didn’t warn you: It will always be this hard. I was having a whinge about Fizzy the other day to my aunt, and she said sagely, ‘Little children, little problems. Big children, big problems.’
Fizzy is very good at unloading the dishwasher, though.
Did you get the gift I sent you yet?
Kids are really worth all the aggravation and annoyance. I have had 3 and I would not change a thing!
