Maternal Instincts

I have lately a maternal instinct that is kicking in. I feel the need to care for things. Even though I already do have this feeling, it has tripled. I feel like I have to have a dog, maybe children, Steve is to old to take care of. My answer is to keep busy. I want to find a job, get into the culture a little more, get a perm home. Then, in a year or so, we can think about having children in the US.
