Ready or not?

I've been thinking for a long time that I was "so ready" to have kids.  Yesterday we had a birthday party at our house for our niece. We decided that it would be a good idea to put a baby gate up that way the little ones couldn't go up and down our stairs. We went and got it, then after we got it up the first words out of my mouth were "ha ha ha...dumb kids." (I actually do love the kids that were here.) As soon as I realized what I said, I just thought maybe I'm not as ready as I thought. It's good I still have some more time I guess!
