babies screaming
June 02, 2003 at 4:30 p.m.
So aside from the accupuncturist this morning, I spent all day with my pal Sabrina's kids.
Which would you rather subject yourself to - needles or screaming babies? Right now, I'm leaning towards the needles....
No seriously, the kids are sweet but awfully young so they need help and communicate by crying. I understand this. Doesn't mean it doesn't drive me insane. I think I saw what tiny miniscule maternal instincts I had left slip down the drain as I washed baby spittle off my arm.
As Sabrina needed to put one of the boys down for a nap, I held the newborn and attempted to feed him some mashed food stuff.
But none of it stayed in, and he just cried so loud, and I had no clue what to do, so I decided to just sit there until Mama got back.
Man, he just kept crying! Finally, I picked up my cell phone, I dialed my mom.
Mom: Hello?
Me: (above the cries of Baby Michael) I'm never having childen!!!!!!!!
Mom: What??
Me: (louder) I'M NEVER HAVING CHILDREN EVER!!!
Mom: (finally understanding me and remembering that I was to spend the day with Sabrina and the kids) Enjoying your day of birth control?
Me: I'm never holding another boy's hand ever again!
Mom: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwhahahaha!!!!!
And at that point, Sabrina came down and calmed him down. Apparently, he just needed to see his mommy's face. Does that mean mine is creepy? Probably...
I love Sabrina. And her kids can be oh so cute. But man, I just don't want any of my own. I'll just trust those maternal instincts to click in when I fall in love someday and want to have a family or something.
At least I hear that's what happens. Love makes you weird. Why else would you do that to yourself anyway???
Man, Australia and skiing in Chile, here I come! (you can't do that with babies!
I had a pity moment yesterday. And today I spent some time looking at Sabrina's wedding scapbook (SOOO adorable!!) and I was wondering...
Well, I'm 23 and have a college degree. She's 23 and has a husband, a house and 3 kids. At 18, there was no WAAAAAAAAAAYY I was ready for that sort of life.
Zane, my sweet study buddy is getting ready to get married in July. He's been with his sweetheart for 4 years now.
Me? I have a long list of nasty and not so nasty ex-boyfriends, lots of adventures but lots of heartbreak along the way. My body is trying to recover from this last one, but it gets harder.
Being single for all these years can be unhealthy. And yet some people don't have to go through what I have to go through. By myself.
I just wonder why.
SUPERCRACK wonders.
