meat and balls
So, kids. On my last precious day of this wonderful summer break, I am supposed to be thinking of Not Kids. My hike, yes. New shoes, definitely. Whether I have what it takes to eat solo in a restaurant at a mall, possibly. How short I am going to cut my hair, yes. And maybe what I am going to wear to work tomorrow. But that's as close as I'm supposed to come to thinking about kids.
However, reading Mama's post, and sighing over the preciousness that is Zac, is making me think about kids and how much I don't actually not want to have them. How I assume in my heart of hearts that S. and I will be parents, how much I'm secretly looking forward to it, and how scared I am of the myriad ways parenthood will change our lives.
That's all for now. Deep thoughts, revelations, and many rounds of self-mockery to come.
Lacing up for my day!

This is such a cute post- not because it's linked to me (and cute Zac and his family hehe) but because you are thinking of someday having a family of your own...
I would describe having children as a rebirth of ourselves- you learn so much about who you and your spouse are and how strong you both are when you finally have one. I know I don't know you (maybe one day- heehee) but judging by what I read about your life, I think you'll make a great mommy someday!
