Queen of the Castle

I'm a woman surrounded by males. My husband and I both have small families. My husband's mom passed away before I met him and his only aunt passed away recently. He has his dad, one uncle and one male cousin. I have my mom (only female family member), dad and one older brother. He never intends on getting married, so I will never have a sister-in-law, nor any nieces. My only Grandma passed away last year. I have two beautiful sons and my best friend is a guy. I am swimming in a sea of testosterone! And I don't mind it one bit. When I was pregnant with our second boy, I felt certain that it was a girl. I was wrong. Everyone assumed that I was so sad when we found out he was, in fact, a boy. But you know what? I was excited! I was so happy to give my son, a brother. Plus, I love being a mommy to boys. I did worry about when my boys got older, would they leave and forget their mommy? My husband reassured me that his mom was his best friend. Boys don't forget their mommies. I then became worried that the boys would be so in awe of Daddy when they were older that mom would be "boring". I am terrible at sports and have no coordination. Would I ever be able to keep up and have fun with my house of boys? My husband, smart guy that he is, had such a great point. He said, "Listen, being the only woman in the house means that you will ALWAYS be the Queen!" Good point. Excellent point, actually. Life with a house of males is crazy and FUN. I love it. If we have a third child, of course, I would be so very happy to have a girl, but just as happy to have another boy. Whether you have one kid or more, daughters, sons or a mix of two, it's all wonderful. This blog is just about me, a lone female in a house of males. I'm talking about the crazy and hilarious adventures that happen every day with so many XY chromosomes pairs together in one small house, raising hell.
