With everyone around me getting pregnant, I must remind myself why I don't want another baby. By the way, I had a friend who told me when her baby was a newborn, don't let me forget how hard this is, I am NOT having another one. She is now 3 months pregnant with her 3rd child. So lists like this are good little reminders.
1. Waking up 6 times in an 8 hour period is not fun. ( Oh and that's just to pee when you are pregnant... sleep is non-existent once the baby is born)
2. Being so massively pregnant that your neighbor actually asks if you are having twins sucks.
3. Labor and delivery
4. The combination of no showers and spit up is gross.
5. Driving in a car with your baby screaming, while you well up with tears and are seconds away from sobbing because you are emotionally out of whack is hazardous to all.
Now the list of things I do not want to remember:
1. Babies are beautiful
2. They are so freakin adorable the way they curl up on your chest to sleep.
3. Coos, Smiles, and Yawns, there is nothing cuter.
4. Honestly, what's not to love
I can't deny it, this somehow will always out way the rough patches... sigh. But after much consideration, I will just coo over all the new babies... I think I'm happy right where I am.

Mullets, why?
I was driving today, when a fellow driver caught my eye. Now I can only call this person a driver, because they were sporting a very lovely, yet very androgynous, mullet. Which led me to ponder the mullet. Why?
People know they are made fun of, they know they are not fashionable, yet they like their mullet. You can't blame it on lack of grooming, because have you ever seen an unkept mullet. Doubt it. They are always neatly trimmed, top and bottom.
Which also leads me to wonder, where? Where do you go, that when you sit in the stylist's chair and say make it long on the bottom and short on the top, and they don't just laugh. Or do you just say, I'll take a mullet please.
Yet, people of all genders and ages sport mullets, and like them. All the time knowing full and well that people are making fun of their hairstyle. It truly is beyond me. Could it maybe be denial?

How to pick'em
The following story, although funny is a bit gross, and please remember my daughter is two.
So, My Mom was watching Emily the other day and Emily said that her nose was hurting. (Which my mom believes had to do with bumping it swimming in the pool, and possibly causing it to bleed a little) Anyways, Emily then proceeds to pick her nose, and pulls out a black booger. She says "What's that Nana?" My mom says, "Its a booger" and Emily says "I don't eat it?" And my mom, mildly grossed out says, "No, Emily, you don't eat it." Then she responds "Only the green ones."
