I think Jimmy and I are ready to handle children.
We had 5 kids in our care today. No disasters, no crying, no hitting. I think we did very well. . . granted it was just one day and we both took a nap after they all left our house.
When 1/2 of my bell pepper plant got killed, I didn't freak out. I just pointed out the correct way to pick the veggies off the plant. I love how enthralled with gardening kids can be. They have such an awesome understanding for nature and how amazing it is. Adults take it for granted.
You're always going to be scared to death to have children, but I think we'd be pretty badass parents.
Got to get those student loans paid off first.
You know your friends are growing up and getting old when they talk about shit like this on their livejournal. Go back in this thing 5 years and see if I sounded anywhere near this 'grown up.' Priorities have changed, definiately, but we're the same.
Week long vacations make me realize that I take my job too seriously. I wish the culture we live in @ First National wasn't so negative and stressful. Notice I said "live" and not "work". . . its sad that so many of us make our job our life.
