I give good comment. The series.

I've never been one for formulaic writing, much less blogging, but I think I've got something here with the comment thing. Going back to the lack of originality of life and people in general that I touched on yesterday, I find myself going through many of the same things most other people I connect with are going through. Whether it be studying, raising children at various ages and stages, hobbies we undertake, our individual pursuit of spirituality, improvement of family relationships, etc., I'm pretty darned sure I'm not the only one doing and/or blogging about it. In fact, I'd bet on it. So, in that spirit, I bring you another relevant comment to where I am in life right now.

This one via this picture posted by the lovely, talented Tanya on her flickr stream:

We're headed that way and I couldn't be happier. It's been a long road. We've only been at it steadily for about a week. So far so good. I keep telling everyone Anna Sofia is the one potty training US since I'm having to ask her repeatedly if she needs to go. Ugh. I hate this part of parenthood. As for having one more? Yeah, part of me thinks it would be nice. But the larger, SANER part of me says: NO FREAKIN' WAY. I hate that I feel that way but I just don't think I could go through a psychotic pregnancy and post partum again. Love the awesome birth, cuddly nursing baby part. Hate the crazy-making hormones.

With you on the baby thing - love them to bits, pregnancy, birth - the whole kit and kaboodle, BUT I'm finally getting myself to where I want to be and we're becoming more free as a family to take more adventurous trips (something I know 3 little boys love).

Oh I hear you on the baby thing. Believe it or not I actually wanted six. With the 4th though, we decided it felt right to stop. So we did. I still have days though that I wish we hadnt so hastily made that decision "permanent" but those are fleeting thoughts. We are in a totally different life stage now and I'm truly enjoying their grown-up-ness. Not to mention that the hubs and I will still be relativly young things when they are gone and can start a whole new type of life!

So ya, I hear ya. You and yours are all around the same age as me and mine.

a.

So sweet of you to plug me! LOL *blush*

I know, I know....the saner part of me agrees with you. But really, for many different reasons - I'd love to have one more (that's the crazy talking!). Still....that's why I made the comments about the petri dish to you, and then my next comment about the crazy cat lady. Yeah...it's good I stopped at three in a world where no babies are born via petri dish. :P

Aww - your comment and her picture elicited many emotions for me as well. The Bellies has been potty trained for a few weeks now and I look at my cloth with my heart aching as it teases by staring longingly at me from her changing table as I don't have the heart to pack all the fluff away. Saying good bye to diapers signifies the welcoming of even more independence and big girl hood.
Oh the pain.
I need next Summer to come so that we can try and make #3!

I love Tanya's picture and your comment speaks volumes to me. So much. I'm also tickled that in this big wide internet we all end up coming together through our interest, lives, hobbies, children, family.
