It happens

sereneIt happens. It especially happens when I'm getting close to my period and
I've spent time with a little kid.
The mommylonging.
It's okay. I'm all right with having chosen not to do something that I
really want to do, and having kids is something I've chosen not to do,
even though I really want a child. Still...
*sighhhh*
(How I deal with this sadness is to remind myself that for everything I
give up by not having a child, there is something I would give up by
having one -- the freedom to leave the house at a moment's notice;
financial freedom; having time to myself, etc. -- and to remember that
there is no end to wanting. If I got everything I wanted, I would find
something else to want.)
