I usually leave those two tied up in the laundry room when I have to run errands." <BR/><BR/>Um, what else would you do with your kids? Does she not take her only daughter with her when she goes places? <BR/><BR/>I only have one child...not by choice mind you but by bad "baby making genes"...but am not stupid enough to even ask someone something that stupid. <BR/><BR/>I guess I am still surprised at the stupid things people say.mommastantrumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602913238961361850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-88926334152312776042008-03-10T17:19:00.000-07:002008-03-10T17:19:00.000-07:00Jake and Jack have just reached the age of being able to be left alone for short periods of time... it's weird, to tell you the truth, to be out with just Eva and no boys!Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15120658117796151128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-76913597610319285082008-03-09T23:47:00.000-07:002008-03-09T23:47:00.000-07:00Clueless, absolutely clueless!<BR/><BR/>I'm loving the new banner - great shot!<BR/><BR/>HeidiFamily Adventurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00093360285075029799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-13567024653861578892008-03-09T21:31:00.000-07:002008-03-09T21:31:00.000-07:00ha ha ha ha hapainted maypolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06446625015003854710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-29042799831962506282008-03-09T14:48:00.000-07:002008-03-09T14:48:00.000-07:00I feel the same way about the condom industry.

The first week we got them (at 6 months, 2-1/5 and 5), I remember going into the grocery store with the baby in a sling on my front, the other two in one of those fancy car carts, bickering with each other.<BR/><BR/>I remember the check-out lady saying how hot it was and pointing to my sling, "How can you stand wearing one of those things? It's worse than being pregnant!"<BR/><BR/>I remember bending over to grab a cantelope from the corner of the cart, and holding the baby's head with the other. She didn't know that I'd been a mother less than a week, or that I'd never experienced pregancy. I'm grateful she didn't make a comment about my having too many children, or I might have had to slap her there and then.<BR/><BR/>Even at that moment, I wished with all my heart that I was carrying a child. I also knew that, barring a miracle, it would never happen.<BR/><BR/>It can be hard to read posts where women are afraid they might be pregnant. Or about girls who experiment with sex only once and get "caught" with a "problem." Yes, there are very real challenges to raising children. But you get a daily, tangible reminder of love. Of the mysterious gift and calling of womanhood.<BR/><BR/>There is a segment of our population that has come to see infertility -- as a desirable state, rather than a condition to be treated. But it is such a wonderful, mysterious gift!<BR/><BR/>Sarah often asks for a baby sister. "Only if God decides to send one," I tell her, knowing it would take a miracle. But then, miracles do happen, right?Heidi Hess Saxtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791510605285520649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-48977497138010796922008-03-08T13:13:00.000-08:002008-03-08T13:13:00.000-08:00HA! um, yeah.

That's when we tell them our first was conceived with CONDOMS, the rhythm method, and BIRTH CONTROL and our third was BORN after a terribly painful VASECTOMY. That takes them off their high horse. The Dads that have had a vasectomy turn green and I see panic in the Mommy eyes. Tsk. Tsk. Sometimes kids are meant to be. I love everyone one of my kids and wouldn't have it anyway, but them I come from a family of eight.<BR/><BR/>I once had a troll tell me that it was irresponsible for me to have three kids and we shouldn't have trusted the vasectomy. Whatever.<BR/><BR/>Btw, my husband had it done again. I still panic every month since we are the most fertile couple on the planet. Did I mention my third was conceived two days after he came from a six month deployment to the Middle East? Yep, there's no stopping them when they are meant to be. :)Scout's Honorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13583814670832501297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-78042344859059802512008-03-07T10:37:00.000-08:002008-03-07T10:37:00.000-08:00Where did she propose you leave them?

My husband says people who only have one aren't really parents. :) He's kidding, of course. <BR/><BR/>I remember one time I was at Office Depot with my three. My youngest was just an infant and very crabby and the older two were irritating each other and in turn, irritating me. Hubs was, of course, off talking to some salesperson about something and I was left to myself trying to keep them all quiet and behaved. I was obviously overwhelmed when a very young couple walked by. The young man (probably 19 or 20) looked oddly at me as I wrestled with my older two and I just looked plainly at him and said "Use a condom."<BR/><BR/>I swear... the words fell out before I even thought.Domestic Spazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13166875964870812562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-48385717031024542762008-03-06T20:57:00.000-08:002008-03-06T20:57:00.000-08:00I always wanted THREE kids...seriously.
