I totally get you when you said about your kids... Me too... I never see myself to be a mother when I was younger... It never ever cross my mind that I will have any babies... But then... well... There we have... My three little mini minions... LOL
I love working with my hands too... But not really good at it... I will start a handicraft project with my girls every year... Normally the main purpose is for them to make their own party packs and give to their classmates on their birthday (party pack is sort of like a norm to them in their kindergarten). The two elder sisters now are helping the little one to make her party packs.
I totally HATE housework!!! Yes, having a self-cleaning house would be AWESOME!!!
High Five!!!
