Have come to the conclusion that I could adopt the two cutest little boys at my work, never marry, and be completely content with that. Because I'm pretty sure husbands are more work than kids, so can I just skip that step?
Hehehe. All I'm sayin' is...I don't need a man. They are good for somethings, but I don't need 'em.
That's a good place to be, I think. And yeah, I'm diggin' on Cutie with the Glasses, but that's all it is so far...I will not be one of those girls that lets a man dictate/run/control her every thought and life.
Besides, there are two little kindergartners that have my heart.
I don't think husbands are more work... Who am I kidding, I'm a handful.
ReplyDeletehey, hey, hey, hey, hey now! ;)
ReplyDeleteKids are always the most reliable people. That's why I'm going to miss them when I quit SCORE at the end of June 26th.
ReplyDeleteOh, well. Here come the professah!
i'd take two kindergarteners over a man any day. the kids at least can be managed or wrestled to the ground if nothing else. much harder with a man...
ReplyDeleteDon't give up. There are PLENTY of good men out there!!!
ReplyDeleteHowever, we use the phrase "a good person" so much, make sure that you are measuring their "goodness" with the correct measuring stick! :)
hahaha, Tim...guess that came off as a manhater post, but it wasn't intended that way. What I mean is...God has made it clear in my life that I don't need to chase after the idea of love (because girls do that ALL too often). I have found overwhelming joy working with kids, and am simply stating that I could be happy never marrying--truthfully!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that can pull me out of that mindset is a GREAT man. :)
OK, that's kinda what I thought you meant, anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad you are not falling into the trap of chasing after that "idea of love" because that's not likely to yield true love. Cuz then you are just trying to find someone good enough that fits a certain mold of what you are looking for ... which is what most people do, unfortunately.
Good for you, knowing what you truly do and do not need.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but this blog post actually reminded me of a couple of communities of Religious Sisters that I have spent time with in the past. They are school teachers and are obviously without an earthly husband, but they are considered brides of Christ(hence the veils and habits). And with the joy they bring to the shaping of young minds, it reminds me of Mary mothering the child Jesus. So, in a round-about way, you remind me of Mary, Ashley. :)
Oh thanks Timmy! That is a compliment indeed. Just striving to fufill what God has planned for me--if that does not include marriage, so be it.
