Kids - What are they good for?

Well, my friend (the only one who reads my blog) is pregnant. She is going through hell and bitching about the early stages of pregnancy and all that implies. I completely understand even though I didn't have to deal with all of the shit that she is. However, I wanted to highlight the subject of "Kids - What are they good for?"

1. They give you someone to cuddle with even when they are crying.
2. They give you someone to cuddle with even when YOU are crying.
3. They love without question.
4. They will come up to you and say you are pretty when you just wake up in the morning.
5. They will crawl in bed with you in the middle of the night and wrap their arms around you for no reason. (and then they kick you in the head as they move around in their sleep)
6. You can take them to their first day of school and ask how it went when the day is over...and they tell you over and over and over with a big smile on their face.
7. They will share their bed with you when your house is completely torn apart from putting in wood floors.
8. They will promise that they will only ask for 2 more scoops of ice cream and 'that is all'.
9. They make your grandparents happy.
10. They will reason with you to get what they want until you finally give in IF they 'pay for it with a hug and a kiss'.

There are so many more but this just highlighted my week so far.

No matter what you are going through now, it is worth it...it just might take a LONG while to realize it.

This kid better be appreciative! So far, it's proving to be a big ole hassle ;-)

But you do make a lot of very valid points. And I'm sure that all the annoyance I have towards it now will vanish in a heartbeat as soon as it smiles at me the first time.
