There is always a chance

"when the instructions say the marshmallows could start on fire, they mean it! "-Karli after making smores pie which she got a lot of compliments on.  First of all I am very glad that my sister is interested in cooking.  I think we could have a lot of fun with that. 
I just read her entery about wanting to have babies.  By the way I am all for her having babies and lots of them.  Here is a couple of things I think that I know for sure:
-You are never totally ready.  If you want them have them.  Otherwise you are just making excuses
-If one person wants babies and the other doesn't, don't count on trying to change the one's mind who doesn't want babies because most likely it isn't going to happen.  Been there and done that.  Lost
-It feels like forever when you are not having babies and then all of the sudden you have one and the only thing you remember about the time before having kids was sometime back in high school and then all of the sudden you are old with kids and you spend a lot of time talking about how old you are and how quick the kids are growing up.  That was one heck of a run on sentence.
-You spend a lot of time worrying about when, where, how, with who, how will I be as a parent, what is the kid(s) going to be like and it in the end you deal with what you get and you do what you can.  As they learn in preschool "you get what you get and you don't pitch a fit".
-Don't set yourself up to fail. 
-It never works out how you had it all planned out in your head.
That is about all I know today.  I hope it isn't too negative advise.
I am so glad that I have you for a sister!
