Thanks so much for your answers. They really did help.
Especially Jessica -- You really helped me see clearer. I think I am going to give my husband a little more time. We need to get into more of a routine and get things more organized and kid friendly.

I was an only child and as an adult, I haven't been around little children very much. I just have a feeling like I was meant to do this.
I have such a soft spot for children. They didn't choose to be where they are like adults many times do. What I am getting to is that my limited experience with children makes me wonder if I can do it! I want to read and learn as much first so I can try to be more prepared. I am hoping that love will fill in my gaps in experience. I see parents in stores who yell and curse at their children just because they are crying because they need a nap. I just want to scoop the kids up and hold them and take them home! I have been volunteering at the local high school to do some tutoring for the ones who have learning problems. These kids get so attached to you and look up to you like you are really something for taking time with them without getting paid a dime. I go to this school where I am the only white person on campus and they just can't believe I am there volunteering to help them. I love this feeling and want to take it further!!!
