Blah
It is so nice outside today - sunny and 40 degrees- but I just feel miserable today. I was actually able to sleep until the unheard hour of 9:30, but I woke up with a stiff, sore shoulder and coughing. I am STILL tired today after sleeping for 11 hours and 3 cups of coffee. WTF? I really should be having a wonderful day. Slept late, Tony made me breakfast, got a nice long shower, painted my nails- and even toenails!, and read a magazine. But all because of this damn sore shoulder and my persistent cough I am cranky.
I can't recall how the subject came up, but Tony and I got to talking about having another child. I said that I want to have another one someday but not right now and he actually shocked me at saying how he thinks one is enough. I was always under the impression that he wanted 2- at least. He said that we'll have another child if I really want one, but he said that we should do it now because he doesn't want to be changing diapers after Ivy's using the potty and all. PLUS, he'll be at the "ripe old age of 41" when Ivy turns 18. Whatever. Plenty of people have children at 35 and up! I think I can wait a few years. My reasons for waiting are this:
1- I want Ivy to be a little older and calmer
2- Tony needs to be able to keep a job
3- I want to be married
4- We just moved in here and I just don't want to be pregnant again right this minute!
So why don't we just get married? Well, Tony wants to and has wanted to for quite some time. However, he needs to deal with a few major issues before then. If he doesn't make some changes now he certainly won't after we're married. I don't want to be thinking "Well, we can always get divorced" when I just get fed up. When I marry I want to be pretty damn sure it's forever. He knows all about what he needs to work on, so if he wants to get married, he better start!
Cranky-anti-marriage-wants another kid but not right now-tired-sore Amy is going to just shut up now and go back to reading her magazine.

Wow--now I feel really old! Tell Tony that I will be (gasp!) 51 when Isaac is 18.
I think you are smart to wait before you get married. You should be sure.
Agreed! But will he listen to me? Nooooooo....
