Me & my underutilized uterus are doing more than fine!

Sometimes I wonder if I'll have kids of my own. I can count on one hand the times in my life that I have felt a little uterus pang regarding this topic, so it's not something that I feel like I'm missing out on. I leave it up to fate, because while I'd love having a healthy, committed, long-term relationship with a man (do those still exist?), I don't need my own kids to round that out or to make me feel "whole".

I'm sure a huge part of not having an insatiable need for my own kids is because I can't imagine bringing anyone better into this world than my 2 nephews, and trust me when I tell you that I've never said anything more truthful than that. They're such good, fun-loving, smart, interesting, sometimes challenging (in a good way) people.


They're totally different from each other (and somewhat indifferent TO each other, but they'll grow out of that) just like their mom & I were at their ages-- and both, in their own ways, tremendous young men who have made my life... well, that's just it: THEY'VE MADE MY LIFE.

So, if I never have kids of my own, it's okay. For real.

Case in point:

Obviously, my nephew Jason (15) has incredible taste. Dylan (17) does, too, but he hasn't seen that status update yet. Also, they have more than one aunt, so it's not an empty/brown nose-y compliment. That ish is REAL.

Beat that, mothertruckers. Oh, wait. You can't. ;)

Well, whatever will be will be, but if you happen to skip the whole bebe thing, then we can be be #ballers4life together! :)

Also, just wondering: does the fact that you are fb friends with your nephews mean that you are not allowed to put curses in your status updates? Cause that shit would be HARD.

@Missy: I know, RIGHT? I should've purchased stock in Kleenex before this year began.

@Erica: Oh, dude, you are so right. #ballers4life!!! :) ...and NO, I'm "allowed" to put whatever the hell I want in my facebook status update. Did you not see what I had up there yesterday?! Seriously, check it. They don't judge me (or if they do, they keep it to themselves) and I don't judge them. Long as it's legal, it's all good with me. :)

@Erica: Believe me, they've heard/read a curse or two. Or a thousand. :)

This post is full of awesome. I myself have 3 kids, and I am a narcissist from way back. However they make my world spin. I admire you and your being so comfy with yourself you don't need to produce children to feel alright. I have 2 friends in their late 40's no kids. By choice. Which means they spoil my kids rotten. Your a flipping groovy aunt.
