Makes Me Jealous

I don’t read my sister’s blog nearly as regularly as I should. I have been being lazy and only reading the blogs that popped up as “recently upadated” on my list. Blogger doesn’t ping the Proper Places, and so a certain subsection of my list (including family!) wasn’t getting read.

But now the blogroll is broke and it’s caused me to do some exploring. And Lo! I discovered that my sister updates her site.

Back in the day when she introduced me to blogging, her site was ridden with youthful angst about how she hated her job. Nowadays it’s dedicated to the mundaneities of raising 3 children.

I’ve never seen someone acquire children so fast.

Makes me jealous. The gir’s four years younger than me. Almost five. She gets married first, gets a house first, has three kids. Three!

Understand, our current target date for the first child is in about 6 years. Meanwhile I’ve got nephews. I’m nervous that I may be shirking my avuncular duties because I’m too busy and too far away.

Anyway, if you love family life, take a peak in [On Fragile Wings](http://on-fragile-wings.blogspot.com/). She’s playing Kanga with little Roos.

  1. Anyone who uses a word like avuncular casually in a sentence probably has spent way too much of his life reading books. 😛

  13. Look lady, you’re lucky I got the intervals right. They were 6 and 4 the last time I checked.

    You’d better be on your avant guard – One day you may have avauntular duties yourself to shirk.
