The complete and utter lack of any blog communication is because I am EXHAUSTED!!!! I forgot that working 5 days a week really does kick your ass. I mean really - it is almost too much to make a salad for dinner before I fall into bed!
I have some people in my life - like Mr Nenshi, who not only work 4 billion hours a week but then sit as the Chair on boards, volunteer in other capacities and has a consulting business on the side and is still - yes - I'll say it here, completely (more or less) sane.
And then there is a mom that I work with who has a full day before she even comes into work - just getting her kid up and dressed and fed and to day care before she starts her day - wow. Super heros.
K - so I have an ask that I have to put out there to all you moms - is it really a joy? Really all pleasure to have a screaming, crying bag of human? Cause I need to know before I have babies ... ladies who don't have kids please comment. I would love to hear from you all about this baby thing. I love being able to do whatever I want whenever I want - I love the freedom of our life now - is it worth it to change? hmmm - these are the questions I ask in the 2.4 seconds before I go to sleep and occasionally on my walk to work right through downtown Calgary.
Thanks for visiting yo! Facebook me - email me - whatever!

Hey buddy! I have this exact same conversation with myself over and over and over again. I did NOT want kids for the longest time, but after a scary thought or two about how I might NOT EVER be ABLE to have kids made me REALLY change my mind. This is purely my opinion and I definately respect the woman who doesn't feel they would be a good mother and feels that they would better society and themselves by staying without childern. Its so great that we live in a time and a place where we have a choice!
HOWEVER - after those scary thoughts I realized that my body is MADE for making another human being and I would be absolutely nuts to not experience that awesome miraculous crazy weird experience of being pregnant and giving birth.
Currently I have no baby fever whatsoever and kids are actually really annoying me (except for my little cami of course!). But I know that it is different when you have your own.
My thought Kelly Wood Mitchell is that you sound like you are not ready RIGHT NOW to have kids, and that is fine! I have said this to my aunt before and I am saying it to you now - if you still arn't ready by the time you are 35-40 FREEZE YOUR EGGS! I know that sounds extreme but it just is soooo sad for me when I hear about women who thought they never wanted to have a child of their own and were happy in their lives until one day they werent, and they really wanted a kid, but they couldn't because they had no more eggs left or something! So just keep it in mind!
So I guess the point of this long winded non sensical rant is that YES I want children, but there is so much I want to do first: such as travel, finish school, find a sweet job, buy a house and get married. I'm thinking I will probably want to pop out a few when I am between 32-35. That is if I am married by the time I'm 30.
So I guess what I am saying to you is that there is nothing wrong with not wanting to have any kids - just make sure you keep your options open in case you change your mind!
