THE BIG "2"!!!!!!!!!

Today, July 17th, 2008 at 7:21 pm my little baby will turn TWO years old! I cannot believe how time has flown by. It's ridiculous! I can remember pregnancy, the hospital, preparing his room and bringing that little bundle home just like it was yesterday! The first few months he was home is a bit of a blur because the adjustment was quite overwhelming, but if I think about it hard enough, it all comes back. Now my little fiery, energetic baby is a running, screaming, chatterbox!

Of course, the obvious question that I get so often these days is, "So when you going to have another?" Now, I don't mind when it comes from people I know- all of you who read the blog are safe, even if we really don't get to chat that much these days. But, you know those people that you don't even know, maybe you've met them, maybe you haven't, but they notice this toddler and strike up conversation about what a darling he is and then BAM with the question. Sometimes I want to say, "What does it matter to you?" But, I don't. I'm not really that mean. I just smile and nod, act exhausted and say never. One is enough. He wears me out. I have two already. Sometimes I like to throw in there that I have a nine year old daughter and watch the expression on their faces go from confused to judgemental before I add the part that she is my stepdaughter. So to answer the question for my faithful reader...I mean readers, it is now in God's hands. Yes, we want more children and I want to be able to work part-time if I can't stay home full-time when the next one comes along. So things are coming along in that area and hopefully sometime in 2009 or early 2010 we will welcome another little Mouser. Doesn't 2010 sound REALLY far away? I remember thinking for SURE the rapture would happen before 2001. Course, I still remember the frenzy of 88 reasons the Lord will return in 1988. And I was only 8.
