When Sarah and James were smaller, I was surrounded by girls. My bestest good friend, Cricket, had 4 girls and James was usually the only boy when we were together. I like girls, well for the most part anyway. I mean, I'm a girl. I can relate to girls. There were Barbi's and Cabbage Patch dolls and tea sets and girly things that I could get with.
Now, I'm surrounded by boys. And there's cars and trucks and dinosaurs and swords and Transformers that I can't transform. Don't get me wrong, I love my boys. It's just that living in this house with Neely, James, James' friend Billy, William, Clayton & Daniel is tough. There's dirt everywhere. I'm constantly finding the toilet seat up, which is a HUGE problem for me. Boys are loud and their feet smell. They enjoy making a mess and rarely clean up after themselves. And these boys eat. A LOT. Will has an appetite that could give James a run for his money. Boys think burping and farting are funny. It's definitely something that takes getting used to. I need my Sarah to add a little bit of estrogen to the mix. Oh hell, who am I kidding? Sarah brings a whole lot of estrogen to the mix! And I love her for it!
Boys do have their redeeming qualities. Boys can fix things and change a tire and mow the grass and take the trash out. I know girls can do those things too, but boys don't seem to mind them. Boys also don't leave hair products and froo-froo stuff all over the place. I'm sure there's more, but I haven't discovered them yet. It's a journey.
