I need kids. Or a life.

A few years ago I decided I wanted a dog.  My husband had been resistant to getting a dog, so I went on a brilliantly orchestrated dog-getting campaign that lasted about a year.  The campaign consisted of saying, "I wanna dog," a lot ("Let's have McDonald's for dinner.  What do you want?"  "I wanna dog."  "I'm getting a drink from the kitchen - do ( Read more... )

Because we obviously need something else to obsess over besides whether the dog will feel abandoned if we go away for three days.

Also, because that way we might actually have to spend our money on something more meaningful than a deluxe dog resort. Like college.

Ok. I was just missing the link there since all I could think of was how I sometimes wonder if I was absolutely nuts to get married and have kids. Sometimes I think I should have been a hermit (no, not a Kermit although that may have been interesting).

But wait a minute...even though we have kids I do sometimes obsess about Raven's sulking while I am on travel, heh. So maybe you'd just have MORE to obsess about and spend money on.

OMG what am I doing up so late?

LOL believe me from rising a kid that's not mine I rather spend my money on a deluxe dog resort than on "I want this I want that".

Kids are great, give you a happiness nothing else in the world can but if you and your husband still have lots of fun together and have pñending issues to do as a couple for example travel or such the better is to do it now.

The dog will miss you like hell yes, but when you come back he'll move his tail and you'll see him so happy, instead of Gah you're back that means no more free internet and parties.
