I wish:
I could stay home part time with my kids. I want to bake, garden, play play dough, sing, dance, read, write, hike, canoe…. things I did a lot more often with the girls when I was working half time.
I had more time for work (I know, a contradiction) so I could plan the best, most interesting, most fun, most mind-expanding lessons for my students.
I had more time for my marriage so we could travel, dine, debate, laugh…you get the picture.
I had more time for the internet because I love to read blogs, comment on blogs, and write blogs.
I had more time to dedicate to Temiskaming Multiple Births and Multiple Births Canada. I would love to be involved in the national and global work that is being done by Multiple Births Canada.
I had more time to read books…so many on my list.
I had more time to meditate.
I had more time to work out and do yoga.
I could travel more, I love traveling.
Funny, all of my wishes involve having more time to do stuff and spend time with people.
What do you wish for?
I wish that I had more time to play with my teenagers (yes we still need to play together!)
I wish that I did not have to get divorced
I wish that my dad did not have Dementia and he and my young active mom could enjoy each other the way the had expected they would
I wish that life had a pause button for all the wonderful things that are happening right now
I wish children never had to grow up and leave home- I love living with them and all the brilliance they bring to my life
I wish I liked running
I wish I could control jujube intake
I wish that my 2 year old would try eating solid food instead of only wanting milk – and it would be nice if he would actually speak too
I wish that my Mom and Dad were still alive
I wish my 9 year old didn’t have spina bifida
and right now I wish that Nathan Fillion would knock on my office door and take me away from it all (Just for a night or 2 though, I would miss the kids)
Great post, thanks for the dreams
I wish that I had an extra eight hours every day.
My most irrational wish is that my mom never died. I wish she could see how much my children have grown and changed and know that we are all OK.
I wish my family lived closer.
I wish I could lose those last stubborn pounds.
I wish I could be satisfied, even for a moment, and just be still.
I love this….I”m going for a massage today too!!!
I wish for things from deep and meaningful to frivolous…
Example – I wish my mom could meet Will….AND I wish I had someone to spoon with tonight…I wish Will loved Dylan as much as The Wiggles…I wish I had a personal shopper and a bunch of money to shop for a weekend…
but then…it’s hokey…but I don’t wish for things as much as I used to …I feel pretty blessed lately…yeah but some action would be good…:)
Oh, good for you Christine!!
I too made a small wish (mental-health-survival wish) and I’m leaving my smallest one at pre-school until late afternoon today so I can have a few extra hours to myself. I don’t know why I don’t do that more often, but I really should. And I’m scheduling a massage for myself one evening next week. 🙂
I love this post, Erin. I think I’m scared to wish for things sometimes… that’s so silly. If you can’t dream it, you can’t have it, right?
*breathes deeply* I wish I had more time for many of the things you describe here too. We CAN have it all, but maybe not all at the same time, I reckon.
Funny you post this tonight. I always have wishlist.
On our way too long drive home from Sick Kids yesterday I closed my eyes and wished about all sorts of frivolous things.
I’ve been wishing for a massage for a long time now. So I booked one and go today at 4pm!! I CANNOT wait.
A little wish granted for myself!
