Some things I would love

Listed in no particular order:

  • An entire day to go by where I don't have to deal with poop from kids who I shouldn't have to be dealing with their poop.
  • A flatter stomach. I will never look the way I did before I had children. (I wasn't great to begin with.) Having babies really did a number on my skin. I have zero elasticity to it. I'm sure you can imagine what that means. Sorry for the TMI. I just want a stomach that is a little flatter and a little smoother and rather less like a muffin top. I really am working on it.
  • To be less anxious.
  • For Dr. Pepper to not be bad for me. I love it. I miss it. I want it. I can't believe I've lasted this long without it.
  • To have less, or even better, no more headaches.
  • A new fence in my backyard. I'm tired of the ghetto one we currently have.
  • To be caught up on my scrap booking. I haven't even started a book for Peyton. Yes, all who know me, you read that right. I am that far behind. Shocking.
  • To have feet that don't cramp when I run. It really stinks.
  • Patience.
  • To yell less. I feel bad when I do it. I should learn to not do it at all.
  • To be better about reading my scriptures. Once a week really doesn't cut it.
  • To be better at planning out my menus.
  • A "decorated" bedroom. Mine is just a mish mash of stuff right now. I really want something pretty. I think I'm going to start working on this one. Tomorrow.
  • For donuts to not go directly from my mouth to my butt.
  • To be less combative and stubborn. Ryan is pretty much the same way. You better believe that makes for some interesting moments around here.
  • For Peyton to really like me. Of course he knows I'm his mom and he does love me, but I want him to really LOVE me. (He still loves Ryan more then me, but I'm not bitter or anything. No.) He's my last baby and I want him to let me really baby him. He won't. He's too independent.
  • For a vegetable garden to spontaneously grow in my backyard.
  • Better understanding, empathy, sympathy, whatever you want to call it, for others.

I would also love to eat lots of donuts and to have a flatter stomach. Seems like that won't ever happen.

I would like people to tell me what to do before I have to do it so I won't do it incorrectly.

I want one of those magical vegetable gardens, a flat stomach and to be caught up on my scrap books.

It was like you read my mind and then typed your list. For all of my psychic needs I am no longer contacting Psychic Johnnie or Cleo----it's all you!!

Lisa said...

Your psychic abilities astound me too!

That's fun! I love the muffin top analogy...I have one, too. Blah.

we all wish the same for everything on you list we just don't say it or admit to ourselves the same thing

I am so behind on scrapbooking too!

Whitney R said...

Your not alone in a lot of these.

Rosie and Derek said...

Great list! I would love most of these too, especially a flatter stomach. I used to have such a great stomach... not anymore!

Kristen said...

Do you know how happy it makes me that you haven't started an album for Peyton yet? Yeah, I am not the only one...

Zak is Peyton. I think, deep down, he's still a daddy's boy.

I, too have the muffin top that I'm "working" on...those blasted chocolate chip cookies ;)

And about being "behind" on scrapbooking....sister, you REALLY, REALLY need to read two books by Stacy Julian - "The Big Picture" and "Photo Freedom". They TOTALLY changed the way I think about, and approach, scrapbooking. I am no longer behind...eventhough NONE of my kids have completed scrapbooks. I just can't tell you how liberating that feeling is!

When you figure out the doughnut thing and the garden thing, you will be a multi bazillionare!
