Today? I am happy I don’t have children. I’m not sure why today as opposed to all others, but I am very very glad.

Last weekend I started thinking about how life would be if I was still in school when we have a baby, and I just about started seeing spots. I know it can be done- my mentor says you just get very efficient- but for some reason, this week,  it just about panics me. I feel like I have such a tenuous grip on my sanity as it is, so much to do that I can’t possibly get done as it is!

All of this is circumstantial- I’m in my last nursing class for school, Marmot has two more classes left- we’ve been in school for a solid year and a half, no breaks! The climate at work has gone from the usual chaos to unbelievable. And we’ve got some big house projects coming up. I know things will be better in a month, but right now we have the perfect storm for a mental break.

And we’ve all heard it, there is never the perfect time to have a baby. But I think I’m illustrating why you shouldn’t wait TOO long to have kids, because once you get smart enough to know what all goes into having and raising a child, you’re much less likely to be able to see times as anything but a good time!
