To three or not to three

Husband and I are starting the debate on having a third. There is a lot to consider with thinking about a third. Our house would have to be reorganized, better organized. Who will sleep where. We would need to finally buy a king size bed. There are also some financial things to consider, but I don't like to get hung up on those details. I am happy with the two we have, but would we be happier with 3? Is there something missing without 3? I don't think so. That's not really the point. With so many people I see having another one, even a 3rd, the idea seems so lovely, so romantic. I'm not in a hurry, though I do think about #2 already being 1 and that I would like #2 and 3 to be closer in age than #1 and #2. I don't know yet what we will do, I just don't want to say no. Not yet.

Too much to think about

As a mom, you don't just take care of yourself, you take care of a significant other, your children, the house, their things, their school things... I get to a point sometimes when I realize I'm not taking care of myself. Skipping meals, skipping hair cuts, wearing clothes that are snagged or not the right fit. Everytime someone asks me what I want, I can only think of things I'd like to get the kids. I do want a bike, and have a list of other "wants", but those are not things I would expect to ask from other people. I have a son who isn't sleeping well, laundry that needs putting away or washed, a daughter with homework and her own calendar to keep, a husband to spend time with, and sleep to get. I completely understand now why so many women are SAHMs, and although I love my job (and it is only part-time), I wish I could be home more often to get stuff done around the house and have a chance to relax before my husband gets home.

This is me...

I have a lot of thoughts that go through my head on a regular basis. I am one of the people who can't seem to turn off the background noise. I no longer want to "bother" my facebook friends with my random banter, only those who want to know. This will be stuff about my husband, my kids, my mom, and of course...me. I'm hoping this will be an alternative to being a writer, which my grandmother always thought I could do, however I could never continue to flow with the same topic. My main interests (which usually come up in an introduction) are being a good wife and mother. I know that may sound typical, and even lame. I am however, what my mom describes as a "professional mom". If there is information out there about how to be a better mom, or a better person as a mom, I've probably at least looked into it. I am also interested in improving my marriage. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with my marriage, I just don't want it to end up that way.
