I'm frustrated that we're not pregnant yet. And this month looks to be another bust.
So this what I will do once I get my period...
* I will call the preschool where Chebbles is enrolled to begin next month and officially relinquish her hard-won spot there. Instead, I'm going to keep her home with me until she turns three, or until I'm too infirm to care for her. While I'm hale and unpregnant, I can MOM all I want!
* I will create a little portfolio of Chebbles photos and send it in to our local, legitimate modeling agency. Go ahead, make fun of me. But I'm just too intrigued by the whole process, and by the $125/hour she could accumulate in her college fund. Apparently the catalog shoots are fun for the kids. Of course if I discover this is not the case, then we won't do it.
* I will make my office into a working paradise. You just watch me. These empty boxes and accumulations of trash will be history. This room will be the envy of Virginia Woolf.
* I will cook things that grow in my garden, using timely recipes I discovered in this month's Good Housekeeping. I will nourish my family in a startlingly organic and close-to-the-earth manner. I will be the envy of Barbara Kingsolver.
* Finally, I think I'll set up a tent in our backyard.

Oh yes, the ever persistant "What I will Do If I Am Not Pregnant" list. I hope this is your last list and am totally jealous about the organic gardening thing. I dream about that. Or at least to stop buying organic squash and putting it in the fridge until it rots. Maybe I should put that on my "until my daughter comes home" list?
Chebbles is going to LOVE that tent! Or maybe I'm projecting a little bit too much here.

You have got to let me know how that modeling portfolio thing goes. I think I'm finally teetering over the edge to be willing to allow my children to start earning money for their own futures.
