Wishes

October 7, 2010 by erinlittle

I wish:
wishes.jpg
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!
