These days my five year old, Annie, starts most of her sentences with, I wish. “I wish we had chocolate chip cookies. I wish I could have that toy. I wish I was eight. I wish I could go to the volcano and meet the volcano sisters (don’t ask). I wish we could go to the park. I wish I could go to Hawaii?!?” Let’s play that game and pretend for a moment that we can get everything we wish for. (It’s supposed to be indulgent by the way. We all wish for world peace.) Here’s my wish list.
I wish to go to Disney World and Italy (not necessarily in that order)
I wish that my kids were always full and never needed snacks
I wish for our debt to just vanish
I wish Granville Island was 30 minutes closer
I wish for an endless supply of shampoo, face cleanser, and all things like that. I am so over spending way too much money to be a girl
I wish for a cloak of invisibility. I don’t know why…. I just think it would be cool to have the power of invisibility
I wish that filling out forms wasn’t this giant obstacle to overcome
I wish I could still swing on a swing like I did when I was 6. I don’t know why they make me so sick now
I wish that the next time I fly the airline would bump me up to first class
I wish that more things work out the way they do in my head
What’s on your wish list?
In these photosWe were in our backyard having a little fire in our fire pit roasting marshmallows and eating cheesies when it began to pour. Afterward there was this.
Don’t these look like the perfect ‘I wish’ pictures?
I wish my hair was long glamorous on some days and short and pixie-ish on others.
I wish chocolate was calorie free!
And I wish I played the drums, knew how to restore furniture and that I had 12 weeks of vacation a year.
I wish less shallow things too, but I can’t think of any right now. 🙂
I wish the real estate market would pick up.
I wish I could take my grad program classes at home.
I wish I could meet George Strait. 🙂
Jenn, ME TOO!! to the pixie-ish haircut and furniture restoration! If only chocolate was calorie-free… sigh.
amisare, I am so with you on the real estate market picking up…. c’mon already!
I wish I could take any insecurities, and worry away from my son on his first week of Kindergarten & riding the bus…
I wish I could be a fly on the wall in his classroom to see him learn & grow.
I wish that I didn't feel so insecure about him being at Kindergarten!
I wish we could go back to Disneyland, Club Med, or wherever…
And last, I wish that my husbands parent's Estate would hurry up & close so we could pay this house off & move on not only financially, but emotionally…. sigh….
Oh and I wish I could play the guitar & sing…
And ditto on the chocolate & the hair! LOL!!
Marnie, It seems everyone is bummed by real estate. I hope it all works out for you guys!
And I wish I could sing too with this perfect voice that maybe has a hint of a rasp… I would be all effortless and cool…. anyway….
