Time To Dust Off The Old Ovaries?

Why do we have eggs to last until our 50's when they are really only good for about 35 years? Twenty years of useless menstruation seems like a stupid idea. I also do not approve of the first 5-10 years of unnecessary unpleasantness.

My eggs are getting stale. I can tell. My body "suggests" I make use of them. Daily. Greg doesn't mind. I don't either.

Tho, I worry my body is confused - taking active measure both not to and to get pregnant.

I have three kids. Three really incredible, bright, entertaining children. Quit while you're ahead.

But, I ALWAYS wanted a sister. If I could 100% guarantee another daughter, I'd go for it; one more C-section. Girls are the BEST!

However.

Greg says, "We're done."

I agree.

At least once a week (and TODAY is that day this week), I feel overwhelmed. The house is a mess, the kids are insane, soooo needy, won't they ever be old enough for school, why do they keep bugging me, don't they get that I want to immerse myself in imaginary computer land?! No, you are not done with your nap yet, sweetie, and please can we not have mac-n-cheese or ramen for lunch? How about roast beef on rye with provolone. And horseradish. And avocado?
And why do I have to MAKE dinner and DO DINNER DISHES, TOO. It's not like I really get to SIT DOWN AND EAT either, what with getting food, getting drinks, wiping drinks up ...

I don't need another kid. We shouldn't have more kids than we can care for. I'm not a very good mom as it is. Seriously. Don't argue with me.

And yet, those stupid eggs ... my kids are SO cute. Babies are really hard, but once they start talking (NO YOU ARE NOT DONE WITH YOUR NAP, STOP SCREAMING, STOP POUNDING THE WALL, GO TO SLEEP BABY GIRL) you can reason with them (haha).

Ok. I'm probably done.
