I have a degree!: thoughts on children

Mr. Bumblebright and I have been discussing when to start a family. It's kind of up in the air but I feel like it's not too far away. Thank goodness I have this blog so I can read it and remember what it was like before THEY came hahaha. Just the other day we were talking and Mr. BB dropped the word CONstruct, not construct like a birdhouse, but like social CONstruct. That pronunciation is one of the many pretentious habits I picked up in college. It made me realize that one day one of our kids will come to me with a diaper busting at the seams and say something completely ridiculous like "changey poopey". I'm going to look at that precious child and want to scream "I went to college! where did you come from?!"

Don't get me wrong, I love children and have always looked forward to having a family of my own. But now that it's so close it's brought into focus all the things I can take for granted now. Things like going to the bathroom alone and in peace, sleeping in, spending an hour rubbing in extra rich moisturizer then taking a nap in the afternoon and leaving sharp knives out.
