What I heard on NPR this morning just made me roll my eyes forever that there are still (apparently) all these women running around assuming that not having kids until they are 40 is no problem. If I ever do get pregnant, it will be in my late 30s, and there are good reasons for that, but I am under no misapprehension about the biological realities of things.
This was my thought exactly when I read that. I waited and screwed myself, but I wasn't unaware that that was a possibility.

No problem. As I am at "work" with nothing to do. Except write my AP syllabus (due June 1) for next year.

Ooh, ice cream.
Did I tell you folks that I have ginger ice cream? It is just about the best thing EVAR.

I have a quart of heavy cream at home and half a bag of pistachios. I should turn those into ice cream this weekend.

And I'm not a germaphobe, but I do like it when the place I go to get clean isn't a sticky, moldy mess of hair and crusty toothpaste.
Well, we have a cleaning service every two weeks so it stays pretty clean (unless my housemate shaves, which I'm sure he was probably doing today) and then there are little hairs all over the sink. Ugh.
Wow. I am more emotionally scarred than I realized by my father's poor bathroom etiquette!
And I appreciate it!

Sure. Except there are some of us who didn't wait and still deal with the biological realities of things and try for years unsuccessfully. As someone in that boat, before I got pregnant, it used to irk me to no end to hear reports around fertility in general.
(Then again, I still sometimes have the urge of punching very pregnant women in the face which has to do with all of my issues around premature birth so I have enough issues for a full subscription around this topic).
Moreover, I think the final implication that society will change to allow earlier motherhood is bullshit.

Oh yes, that was some lovely fantasyland wishful thinking right there. Because modern society has done so much to accomodate parenthood so far!
