impyI do not want kids. I do not want kids. I really do not want kids.
Sometimes I forget this little fact. Not... completely, mind you, just a little. I think to myself, well, maybe. One day. With the right person, could be.
No. Do not want kids.
I spent yesterday helping to watch the Widget's sisters. I get along just fine with Josie once she remembers who I am and that I do not, in fact, eat small children or some other horrible thing. And while I may call her funny things [Josie when she's going by her full name, or Ozma for a reason I wish I could remember], I generally have toys and I do play and giggle and agree with many of her strange, but cute, thoughts. Summer and I will probably lack this bond if today is any indication. She would not stop crying. Despite Widget's babyhood, I always think that's a bit of an exaggeration whenever someone says it. It's not. And I'm not good with the crying babies. Toddlers I can reason with. Babies? Not so much. When she'd slow down with the tears it was because she was eating, or Josie was patting her on the back saying, "Don't cry, baby, it'll be okay. Your momma be back soon. It's okay."
But the cutest moment happened when Widget came home from school and Josie ran to him and he ran to her and I swear, he picked her up and spun her around and they shrieked, "My Tommy! My brother Tommy!" and "My baby sister! Jocelynn!" Actually, I know full well that's not how her name is spelled, but I don't remember how it is. So, yeah, you get the idea. It was so cute I almost died.
And then I had to help him with his homework and it was one of the lower levels of hell. So in addition to not wanting to have kids, I also do not ever want to teach them.
Now if I could just feel less like death warmed over, that would be fabulous. Not even the great and glorious Golden Girls remedy could help for long. I suspect another hour though and I'd have been much better off. I should just buy the DVDs and be done with it.
I realized this evening that I have one particular Tori song I'm drawn to whenever it comes time to download a live version of any song. And that would be Sugar. That is all.
