Please excuse the sob sister attitude.
I’m really fine without kids, it let’s me be a more decadent aunt to my own niece and nephews but also to the ones I acquire from my friends. I’m blessed to be Auntie Cathy to many, many kids. I must admit though I miss being called Auntie Cakey, not cakie, Cakey.

And my husband is recovering from a VERY bad accident that resulted in a hip replacement AND the top of the bone below his knee rebuilt. I’m a BIT unsettled at present. And thus the catching up with reading.

He declared he did.not. want. children. because his childhood was so awful he didn’t think he could be a good dad. I wanted him thus my fate was sealed

I found your blog by happenstance. My heart went out to you. Then Gatito arrived and you took on a new life. You’re funny, intelligent, curious, willing to admit you need support and happy to accept any and all answers.

I get a delightful feeling from you, Julie and Julia what the experience is to be a real Mom by way of the 3 of you. I like that I get to add my 2 cents worth as a very seasoned babysitter and aunt. It helps soothe that ache that occasionally comes my way even though I’m 56 and have the good sense to know I would not make a great parent at this point in my life.

And OMG Gatito’s red hair, the hair I’ve always wanted. Irish/Italian I got the Irish skin and the Italian hair, bummer.

Happy blogoversary!

Amazing how that happens. I’m glad you’re still here, though!

But thanks for reading!
