Remember what life was like before kids? I do. I remember clearly. I remember being able to do stuff (if I had the money, that is) whenever I/we wanted. I enjoy going to Triple A baseball games. I would love to be able to just go with my wife, buy a few beers, get in late, sleep in and not take care of kids. Please please don't take this the wrong way. I love my kids. There are people who would love to be in the position I'm in, with a family and the family life. I don't want to bitch about having a pretty amazing life right now. It's just that sometimes, I miss the freedom of not having kids. Is that so bad?
I was thinking this as I cooked breakfast this morning, what it would be like if I didn't have kids? Why didn't I take advantage of the time before I had these little kids. How many times did I choose to not do stuff when I could have, and now I would love to but can't? Then I looked into the living room and saw Miles sitting in his bouncy seat snoozing and Evie sitting on her knees watching Curious George on the TV and realized that even if I can't go out and do stuff like other adults I know, I have these amazing kids that are truely a blessing. I'll take the trade off. Even now, as I'm writing this post, I had to put Evie down for her nap, as she carried her stuffed Mickey Mouse that's almost the same size as she is, we laid her down and covered her up. Such a cutie and a sweetie. How could I wish for a life without her? And Miles is right now laying on the floor by himself, eating the back of his hand, bending back and almost rolling over...at eight weeks old. So proud of this little guy. He's getting so big. He's so good, he only cries when he's supposed to cry, like when hes' hungry or wet or uncomfortably positioned...How could I wish for a life with out him?
So maybe I can't go the the baseball game tonight? Is that the end of the world? No, it's not. Life without my kids? That would be the end of my world.
With that being said, anyone wanna babysit? There's this baseball game I want to take my wife to...
