Neely& Violet - I apologize for not responding to your thoughtful posts earlier.
I am giving a lot of thought about the children issue - and I know that I will not be ready until I feel things have settled down here consistently. The last thing in the world I want to do is bring a child into a chaotic household.
I am beginning to wonder if it is a good idea at all with the marital problems we have had - I read so much about couples whose problems BEGIN once they have children. I just don't know if it is wise. Most of the children I teach come from families that have split - I don't want to put a child through that.
It is so interesting how this all works.
On Friday, H and I were shopping with my sis - and he sees a pregnant woman walking across the parking lot and says - Hey B that's you in 6 months with a big smile and a wink!! This from the guy who in the last year has told me he doesn't think he wants to be married 3 times!! And who just two weeks ago went out for a beer without his wedding ring - "to see what it felt like" !!! I just laughed and didn't say a word - no need to respond at all!
Maybe one day he will grow up enough so that we can have a family - till then- I've got plenty of work to do. Thanks for the encouragement.
