Brady's less two.

When I got divorced for the second time, I thought about the qualifications that I wanted in my next partner.

One thing that I was unsure about was if I wanted to date someone with kids.

On one hand, I thought it very important to find someone that DID have kids, because nobody understands the time that goes into parenting better than someone who puts in the time.

On the other hand, I thought about someone who DIDN'T have kids, cause if I wanted to be spontaneous I would be able to and so would he.

I would go back and forth with the pros and cons of both scenarios.

I have to say, I am very thankful that Mr. Fantastic has kids. It actually is one of the things I like about him; his kids are awesome and I admire his dedication to his children.

I hate saying he's a great father, cause if you are a FATHER then why be less than great? However, due to the experiences I've had with "fathers", Mr. F...IS a GREAT DAD.

I hate patting those that are DOING THEIR JOBS on the back like Buggy's Dad, but I admire those that step up and do their jobs with pleasure.

Anyway, Mr. Fantastic is a father, to two equally fantastic boys. LilB and LilrB. This weekend their Fantastic Family has invited us, Supermom Family, to join them on a road trip to state competition for wrestling.

Mr. F, SuperMom, and FOUR KIDS...are gonna all load up in my SuperMom mobile and head south.

*shakes head*

It baffles me that something I wasn't expected is now laying in my lap, laughing at me, pointing it's little fingers at me, devilishly screaming "you saw your life HOW???" Muahahaha.

I am nervous when it's all of us together. Him with just me and my kids, fine. Me with him and his kids, no problem. Combine all six of us, add in overnight stays, all weekend together and it makes me nervous...I don't know why.

I think I just want to be Marsha? Please?

*flips long blonde hair*

  1. I have a feeling that it will be fantastic (ha!). No really. I get your nerves and you will have those moments that you will go, what were we thinking, because with 4 kids it's bound to happen - let's face it these moments happen with 2 kids.

    Have fun!

  7. Wow. Yeah. I understand what you mean. Combining kids adds a new level. But I think if you guys are relaxed and comfortable then it will be easier for them to be relaxed and comfortable. KWIM?
