all this crap about spring cleaning has got me thinking about REALLY cleaning...like...my house.
also it's REALLY quiet at work and i am bored.

also i'm really worried i'm going to do something embarrassing like fart in my sleep or something tonight during the sleep study. *shudders*

also i dreampt i had a baby last night and it wasn't a tragedy. i was actually happy even though it was unplanned (just in the dream. i was appalled when i woke up). i think it has to do with all the people around me breeding. i don't understand how i could possibly be happy. stupid hormones in my subconscious. i like OTHER people's babies. doesn't mean i want one.
also in my dream i was a superhero.
that part was cool.

I love dreams, also in my dream i was a superhero. It's funny how these things are just little extras in dreams when in life they would be such a huge deal. If you were a superhero having a baby would seem simple compared to the many other things you were doing.

I spent years not wanting kids. I'm a teacher, so I got all the kid time I needed at work, but about 18 months ago I suddenly felt a huge desire for kids and now I'm actively pursuing it.

Babies ain't all bad. Anyway, I really dug being a Dad to my two.

I can identify with that! Although, of course, my maternal hormones do kick into overdrive from time to time, and I have to spend ages hugging a puppy or something to get it out of my system.

I think I may very well want to raise children some day. But not my own. Apart from not liking the idea of pregnancy, I have serious moral concerns about bringing another human being into this world. Unless some major social changes occur, I can't quite justify doing that, and it's not like I have super-healthy-happy-smart-person genes that are vitally important to share with the next generation.
