4 kids?

Okay, first of all let me address the fact that I do not, indeed, need to be awake for another hour. But, the ole' anxiety awoke me about an hour and a half ago and I just finally surrendered to awake-ness.

So, yeah, I have NO idea why I said I have 4 kids. It's the SECOND time I did that yesterday. At church I said the SAME thing-- that I had 4 kids. Let me be the first one to assure you that this was not a subtle announcement. There is not, nor will there ever be, another ACTUAL Mangine on the way. Sure, there's 20 more "Mangine" kids on the way, but there is not 1 more MANGINE kid on the way. As you may recall-- we are, and will remain, grateful members of the V-club. And while certainly biology isn't the only way to add to a family, something tells me that now isn't the time to be adding another MANGINE when we're about to add 20 more "Mangines." Kwim?

And just for all of you people who were thinking that I was including Nick in the count-- let me also assure you that is not the case. Nick carries FAR too much to be a child. He is the pack-mulest husband you've ever met. So I don't think that's what I was thinking.

My only thought is that in the delirium that has been our life in the past week, somehow my brain has ceased to function properly.

So, yes, let me state publicly, dispelling speculation and rumor, for once and for all-- we DO have all those bags, but only THREE children.
