I have nothing important to say right now regarding training. Coughing my fucking ass off and not happy about it. My liver isn't real happy with the amounts of Nyquil I am taking in. I just hope I don't turn yellow anytime soon.
Kids, man. I don't have em'. My genes aren't the best, ya know. I decided I wasn't having kids when I was way young. It never occurred to me that I would ever have a baby. Dominic got a vasectomy when he was 22. Neither one of us should procreate, let alone procreate together. What a nightmare that kid would be!
Sometimes on Facebook I check out my friend's pics of their kids and I think OMG how can this guy procreate? I mean, the kids are cute, but I think about what kinds of shit their parents have done and I am like wow, how is that one gonna turn out?
Do you guys ever think like that?
My friend Sandi has a 17 year old son who is a very good kid. He's just all about his dick right now and she can't get him to hang out with her. I laugh at her and tell her how much worse it could be.
My 16 year old niece (Dominic's brother's kid) deleted me from her Facebook page. I was bummed. I think it means she was probably up to no good since all of us adults were deleted. She and her brothers are good kids though, and they call me their "aunt" and shit. It's cool.
So those are my random thoughts on this freezing cold ass Friday.
Have a good weekend!
Bones, RIP

Kids are a trip. My wife and I are scared to death thinking about the stupid shit we did.
Yeah. Kid pics are taking over Facebook. Just saw that an old acquaintance posted naked pictures of her three year old daughter on facebook. Full frontal and everything. WTF was she thinking??
um...i think like that all the time. and i'm with ya. decided long ago i wasn't having kids. everyone thinks i'll change my mind. i'm fine being an aunt.
i hope you feel better soon. i was hoping to watch you race this weekend.
Funny - I just had the "No Kids" conversation with a very good friend of mine last night over a glass of wine. We both don't have them, never wanted them and most likely will never have them. Must be our generation?
At least once a week I pull up my facebook and think that....are you kidding me? SHE has a kid...let alone three!?!? Ugh. Drives me nuts.
Hope you get to feeling better!
I never wanted kids, I mean NEVER. I didn't do the teenage babysitter thing, I had no interest in them at all. If you can believe it, I actually sought out and belonged to a group that was all about being childless and happy. I told my huubby when I met him, no kids. When we got engaged, remember, no kids. When we got married, still no kids, get it? HE was on board. Until 3 years later one night, we are sitting in a hotel room in Venice, Italy and he says, "Don't you thing it would be nice to have a baby?" Uh, no. What part of me not wanting kids did you not understand?
And yet....I found myself thinking about it. For the next year and a half. Never once did he ask me again, just gave me the space I needed. I eventually said, "ok, let's do this." First time out of the gate, I'm pregnant. I have a 4 y/o and he is awesome. I am done. It was way harder than i ever thought and I could never do it again, but I have no regrets. Although, I do remember what my life was like before and I do miss it sometimes and motherhood is hard as shit, but I got a good kid....for now.
Sorry, probably more than you bargained for. BTW, I stopped posting any pics of my kid online or FB and asked my relatives to do the same. He has no say and I feel like I am somehow violating his privacy...go fig.
regina - so weird. i did babysit, i was a nanny too. black eye makeup and all. i loved it. but i just never wanted one of my own. glad it worked out for you.
I'm glad I had my one child (and that I had a daughter) at an early age (22).
I'm looking forward to the four grand children she is planning on giving me. Kind of strange though, she's now 23 and not even engaged yet. ;)
Judi- I'm with you on the no kids thing. Just have zilch desire to be pregnant and procreate. Admire people who are brave enough to do that but I guess I'm a big wimp. I figure the planet is already pretty damn overpopulated, so if I ever have the gumption I'll just adopt one of the many unwanted kids that already exist. My greatest contribution to humanity will be the refusal to pass on my shoddy genetic material.
I love kids and used to love coaching swim teams. I really do not want one myself, however. They might want to play with MY toys!
My little sister and I said never. My big sister had two and has had a rough road. We help her out when we can.
The hardest thing in the world for me is to act excited for someone who's having a kid. But since I never check my Facebook, I usually run into them face-to-face in the supermarket or at Starbucks and have to act (not just write) happy for them.
Pregnant women gross me out, I want to drop babies in mop buckets, and I HATE children. I think teenagers should be locked in the basement, and even college kids annoy the piss out of me. What's weird is that I'm really good with kids. There are a few exceptions to every rule, and there are a few very special kids who I adore (my friends' kids). I just don't understand why anyone would WANT kids.
So yes, I feel you about not wanting creepy crawlies. What I hate is that when I say that everyone says, "Oh, you'll want kids someday..." (Nope, pretty sure I won't!), or they treat you like you're a bad person. I think it takes a responsible adult to admit that they're not the best candidate for breeding.
Speed Racer said...I want to drop babies in mop buckets
Maybe when people say, "Oh, you'll want kids someday...", you should give them the mop bucket reply.
That ought to shut 'em up.
Interesting that you've attracted such a number of like-minded individuals.
I agree. My personal theory is that there will be more and more gay people in the coming decades, because homosexuality is Mother Nature's way of trying to prevent us from destroying the world by making too many babies. So I will happily do my job by having no children.
Yeah, I don't get the whole kids thing. Other things I don't get: marriage and monogamy. So . . . maybe I'm not the best one to ask.
I am going through the "to kid or not" thing right now. With my ex husband, I was totally against it, but I have a better husband now. So, who knows. Maybe someday.
How you feel about your dogs... that's why some of us want kids. We have that feeling about them. Kids have made my world richer... also harder... but hard in a good way.
