- My one child is in school full-day (during which time I can clean my house, go to the grocery store by myself, or sit at home and eat bon bons)
- If I do take my daughter to the grocery store, I still have a pleasant experience
- I haven’t been nursing for 5 years
- I haven’t had to change or buy diapers for 4 years
- For the past 4 years my daughter is usually in bed at 7:30, leaving me a couple hours to spend time with Sam, read books, or watch my tv shows
- As long as she gets her bedtime story and song she willingly goes to bed
- When my daughter wakes up, she just watches cartoons and gets herself breakfast when she gets hungry
- My daughter sits quietly through sacrament meeting (no siblings to pester or steal her toys/snacks)
- I have no stretch marks
- I do not have to lug an infant car seat everywhere
- I can leave my child for days at a time with a babysitter with no worries
- When I leave the house all I need to grab is my purse and my keys
- I don't have to fish toys out of the VCR, the toilet, or any other place they shouldn't be
- I do not have spit-up on any of my clothes
- I don't have to listen to tantrums
- when I go to the park I can sit and talk with other mom's while my child runs off to play
- I get an average of 9 hours of sleep a night

If it makes you feel any better, I'm not pregnant!
I'm not either and I'm totally in the same boat (well, with the first part)--but I only know 15 who are pregnant (oh, make that 14 one just gave birth).
And add to that list, that you at least have one.
What a life! My turn to be jealous. What is sleep?
Glad you decided on the long PHX break to see bro and be at the airport.

Live it up - I've been sick for 6 weeks straight thanks to my little one and haven't seen my husband since she's been born. we already started counting down until we can leave her overnight.
okay i am soooo jealous right now! the nine hours of sleep is on the top of my list. it was good to see you.

ha ha you crack me up! You're right...grocery trips are not fun with 2 kids, I am so sick of diapers, sacrament meetings are mostly spent in the hallways, and haven't had a date night in 11 weeks!!!
You are hilarious. I do have to say I am a little jealous.
I am kindof in your stage now that my kiddos are pretty much self sufficient or my older can take care of little Ave (make breakfast etc.) I think I am in for a reawakening when my new baby comes and I am thrown back into changing diapers and no sleep. Right now I'm just jealous that you can go a whole day without hovering over the toilet!
You know I'm not pregnant and I have never had stretch marks. But we make it through very few sacrament meetings. . .No tantrums? Really?
