Is it just me???

alright answer this for me ladies. is it just me or as soon as you get married your maternal instinct kicks in and you all of a sudden want to get pregnant? I was always one of those chicks who said she wanted to be married for at least 5 years before having kids and now i feel like that is the most important thing right now is to get pregnant! at the very least i want to wait a year but every time i see baby clothes, or baby blankets or other peoples babies I WANT ONE!!! garsh. Obviously we arent going to try, I am on birth control and its just not the right time but why do i feel this way?! did everyone feel this way after they got married??

and for my latest cooking adventure!!!
So i wanted to learn to make caramels this christmas and possibly attempt to give them to friends and neighbors. so Jasons friends mom makes DELICIOUS caramels! so i got the recipe. its complicated, at least for me. you have to boil stuff to the precise temp and blah blah blah. so anyway, i tried them about 2 weeks ago, when i went to go get the pan off the heat and forgot hot pads so the caramel ended up over cooking and was rock hard, i just barely got the remains out of the pan yesterday. so attempt 2. today. 30 mins ago. went better!! I got creme all over the place, plastic got lodged in the caramels and the stove caught on fire but i think the caramels are gonna be really good!!! lol ha! i went to go use our new hot pads we just got and when i ripped them apart the plastic thing that holds them together at the store flew right into the pot. ha. and then out of no where something on the top of the stove caught fire. dont worry cause i had a cup of water right now to the stove so it all worked out. any one wanna try some?

this is the cream all over the floor and counter




this is the stove top




THESE ARE THE CARAMELS!! YAY!!!




oh and i thought i would post my tree since everyone else did. lol




Oh and this is my favorite decoration so far in our place. the blocks not the coke bottles, although i am going to do something with them, Jason wanted to keep them but i think they are ugly so we are keeping them but i am painted the outside of them brown blue and cream and then putting a single flower or something in each one. i will post pics when its complete!

It's Me...shell said...

Oh my gosh! You almost killed yourself while making carmels! I don't know about the baby hungry business. But then again pregnancy and giving birth scares the crap out of me.

It's not just you. The whole reason we go Maggie is because I told Anthony I needed a baby or a dog. And then 6 months later I started asking if we could have a baby again. Just remember to pray about it when you start feeling like it's time.

My dad has a recipe for microwave caramel. Do you want it?

I did till I realized I was only 19. Even now (21 almost 22) I get a little baby hungry here and there. The last 2 1/2 years have been so much fun. If we had had a kid back then, we wouldn't have been able to do and get half of what we have today. Yeah it's a different kinda "fun" with a baby, but you should wait! It's worth it.

Trust me! Your only baby hungry cuz everyone else has one or is getting pregnant. Stay strong to your plan as long as you can! :) We can be babyless married friends!
