1:04 AM || Eargasm: Blessid Union of Souls - I Believe
I have this urge to hurry up and want to be a mom already! Haha. For the past 3 hours, I have been flipping through magazines, searching online for books on: baking, cooking, interior decorating, and crafting, requesting catalogs from IKEA and Crate & Barrel, and doing things of that bizzare nature!
Yes, call me a freak, but I imagine myself to be the type of mom who would bake treats for my husband and kids everyday, making homemade crafts and decorating the home with a personalized touch, and hiding behind an array of "how-to" books. That would be awesome, wouldn't it?
I have a good picture of how I want my future to be. Half the time, I'd be working as a pediatrician taking care of kids, and the other half would be devoted to time with my family and taking care of the home. We'd have movie nights and picnics every week, go out for a family outing at least once a month, and play lots of sports and video games. When my children go to school, they can share with their classmates the homemade cookies and cupcakes that I would make for them. The only bad thing would be that they would probably get really fat and be unhealthy if I just kept feeding them baked goodies (the only thing I know how to make.) I guess I will have to get me one of them illustrated cooking books for dummies, or maybe this one -- for slow cookers like myself. ;) Then whenever a new neighbor would come along, my husband and I would welcome them with homewarming gifts (is that what they're called?) so that they would feel right at home in the neighborhood. We would have parties with our close friends every so often, where the parties would be "themed." And all the decorations and food will be homemade -- created by all of the crafty mommies. When my children would have school events and/or sporting events to attend, I would volunteer to be the "soccer mom" and drive all the kids there. Sounds almost like a perfect family, doesn't it? "Except for the fat kids," Jason says.
Does anyone else have these strange yearnings to have a family and a home? Hmm. Maybe I've been watching too much of Trading Spaces.
