Go Away Baby Urge!!!

My five-year-old daughter is a patient at our area Children's Hospital for bladder spasms.  While there on Monday with her, there were soooo many newborn babies!  Oh...my...gosh...talk about getting the urge for another baby.  I had to get out of there!!  Every where I looked, there were moms and/or dads pushing little ones in fancy strollers, like the bob revolution se, or cooing at their little ones.

When does the urge to stop having children go away completely? I thought I'd settled to the idea that we were done with kids. I turn 40 this year and hubby is 45. We've had our kids already. We don't need to add to our family.  Eight is enough (six kids, two adults).  So, when does the urge go away?

How did daddy have my brother and sister?

My two middle kids just came to me to ask me how their daddy had my stepson and stepdaughter when he wasn't married to their mother. *sigh*

How do I explain it? Let's see...

• Sometimes accidents happen, or
• Daddy met this woman in the bar and they didn't use protection, or
• She couldn't drag daddy down the aisle no matter what, or
• ????

Heck if I know how to answer this right now. I'm not in the right mindset to deal with this right now. My computer is acting up and I want to toss it through a window. My daughter is practicing her flute and one of the keys is messed up making is sound odd. My son keeps coming to me to hold his snake (which I am putting off as long as I can...gross).

I have nothing personally against people who have kids outside of marriage. (If I hadn't been married by a certain time, I would have gone ahead to have kids outside of marriage then. I'm just glad it didn't work out that way for me personally.) I just wish people would use protection if you are going to have sex with an individual you barely know. You don't know what kind of situation you are getting yourself into, or bringing a child into, for the next 18 years otherwise. Live and learn I guess.

I think I better go take care of my son and his snake now.
