My uterus is hiding
Yay, I'm home before midnight!  There is no more effective birth control than a room full of screaming children.  I thought that, if I showed up after 8, most people with kids would have left but I was wrong.  They were still there and the kids were cranky and tired.  When I walked in the door, I could have sworn there were more children than grown ups.  There weren't but it really felt like it.  My hostess warned me on the phone which was a good thing otherwise I would have been totally overwhelmed!  Fortunately, most of the kids were gone by 9.30.  I am very ambivalent about having children.  I spent most of my 20s adamantly not wanting one.  Then I met someone who made me think that having kids with the right man wouldn't be such a bad thing.  Now, I doubt I will meet the right man so the thought of kids is just sheer insanity.  Plus, I like my space and my time and my silence.  I am a very selfish individual and I'm okay with that.  Sadly though, I didn't have the energy or creative juices to carve a pumpkin this year.  I thought about carving the company logo in a silent, ironic protest but then I realized I couldn't charge that time and would be "working" for free.  Instead I sat on the couch and tried not to let the overwhelming baby-ness show too much on my face.

It should be possible to rent children by the hour, but it isn't.
