You say Pretty in Pink, I say Darth Vader Black

From the beginning I told my husband I only wanted sons. No girls. I know, I know. That's just how we roll. Anyhow, God was smiling on me because he blessed me with two rocking little boys. They are gorgeous and have the sweetest intentions (most of the time).

I am so excited with my family. After we had Ethan, our youngest, I thought how thrilling it would be to still be the only girl in the house. Yes, thrilling.

Obviously, I did not think this through. At all. There is so little left in this house that is even remotely feminine you might call this a cleaned up bachelor pad. And I use the term clean loosely here.

Let's start with the movies. There are a grand total of 2 chick flicks. Two. Did I mention that we have close to 150 movies? No, well, you do the math. Girls- 0, Boys- 1.

Now, onto the decor of the house. Kitchen, decidedly retro. Could go either way except the dominant colors are green, blue, and brown. There is not a single floral print or anything soft. The living room, all red and rustic. Most assuredly not girly. The boys bedrooms, well, let's say they are Star Wars meet Pirates. I lose all points there. And our bedroom. Red and Tan. There are small shimmer peices in our tan sheers. That's worth half point right? So, that leaves us with the bathroom. There timy roses sewn into the shower curtain. I have a bouquet of pink roses in there too! Most assuredly, it is girly! So, you know what this means? If I want to feel any type of woman-ness, I have to go sit in the john. And with three men in the house, let me tell you, it negates the roses. So, boys-2, girls-0

Now comes general living. There is so much farting (or tooting as the little men call it) and burping going on here that I feel a little overwhelmed. Seriously, I never said we had class. There are always sports on TV. There is always the Star Wars theme eminating from somewhere in these fours walls. There are so many lego blocks, battle droids, tools, video games, and general maleness around I fear I am losing all vestiges I have left that link me to the female race.

Did I also mention that I am the happiest tom boy Mom in the world? Well, I am. Go Bucks.
