should i stay or should i go?

Alright I am fine and healthy according to all the tests. This is covered under my insurance. I can do this , right ? Jesus I can handle hundreds of teens, I can handle a screaming one of my own?
I decide to announce my decision to my family at the most traditional of events, a bridal shower. The reaction I got , not so traditional. I think if I said I was gay or dating a black man I would of gotten a better response.
"What ???"
"Do you realize how HAAAAAARD it is to be a mother ?"
"Do you know you what you have to give up ?"
"Do you know what it will do you your body, you will put on even more weight" ?
"I think you should adopt an older child, your better with them"

Cheese and rice ! and I did not know this about being a mom. I did not know it would be hard, or sacrafice ! How come they know and not me ??
This was much different from the cheers and ooohs I got from my work colleagues. Maybe my family knew something about me that I did not realize,
Just like I have not been the marrying kind, maybe I am not the mommy kind either.
This reaction made me put my idea on hold.

I went seeking other options.
I looked at international adoption and domestic adoption. I went and looked at teenage adoption, ooh my that is scary,, yes let me just start off at their most difficult years ! But the positive is I dont need a babysitter or daycare. If anything their reaction made me take a step back and really look at what is the best choice to make.
Some people say, maybe you should get a puppy, I have, I have had 3 and I still have FLO she is alive, in fact she is on the couch now, snoring.

So before I take that leap, I am going to go do some soul searching. Jesus I think its just easier to get knocked up. Just happens and you just deal with it. I work well that way. Well then , thats it ! I need to go get some some, ! I will see ya later !
