preparing me for motherhood
I really don't plan on having kids. I don't see myself as a mother to
a smaller version of myself, simply because I don't feel I would be a good mother, and for other personal reasons. But I swear if I do, my brain will already be tuned in to handle things like... "Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!" (Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom) "Pet me! Pet me! Pet me!" "Feed me! Feed me! Feed me!" "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy Mommy!!" I once finally turned and shouted. "WHAT!!" and Mayhem scurried away. I got a flashback of my own mother. ugh... And Mayhem does this every morning....... Meow! Meow! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! *sigh* Kristi |

Meow! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! *sigh* Kristi We all turn into our mothers at some time or other, (and we probably all hate it too). It's the weirdest phenomenon. I guess you don't have to have kids to experience it! I wonder sometimes if the cats are child-replacements for the empty nest, although I always had cats, and always took good care of them. I didn't treat them like children so much as I do now, though, I don't think so anyway. At least we don't have to send them to college. :-) Sherry Sherry |

Doesn't quite work like that with bare kittens. Yowie -- If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse?

I told her to get a third one so it would help her remember what its like to have three kids in the house. She wasn't amused. Kristi |
