I told her I felt alone in this world getting more and more full of mommies! Every time I hear of a new person that's preggers, I feel like I want to rebel! I sometimes toy with the idea of starting up a community for the childless, but, honestly, there are a lot of people that just can't STAND kids out there... and that's not exactly where I stand. Being one of the childless is difficult if it's just because... well, politically and socially you just don't see that it works for you. I have a hard enough time taking care of myself! Honestly, I'm a perpetually 15 and I don't think I need to be in charge of a small human being. AND ... and... really... there's so much more that I want to do... and I'll make a GREAT Auntie Mame, seriously!Ceci Virtuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017742688414006937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-45408395171033646332008-09-11T23:35:00.000-04:002008-09-11T23:35:00.000-04:00Child-Free and I love your blog!

I'm always 20 minutes late everywhere because I forget (still, though the boys are 4 1/2 years old) that I need to allow 20 minutes to get everyone corraled and out the door and into their seats. Considering everywhere we go is only between 3 and 10 minutes away...this has seriously messed with my ability to be punctual. That and the fact that I wasted so much valuable time pre-kids--I mean, why didn't I write a novel or run for office? I thought I was so busy--HA!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-1742121232561257892008-09-11T13:32:00.000-04:002008-09-11T13:32:00.000-04:00Ha! Totally.
