While I try very hard just to be thankful for what I have, there is no harm in wishing for something amazing to happen so, with all of that said, here are my wishes, big and small.....
I WISH TO BE A SOCCER MOM AGAIN. I LOVE my job. I can't say that often enough. With that being said, I still wish I could be at home with my crazies again. When I think about the amount of time I could contribute to volunteering at their school, being there for them (and their friends) every day after school, and fixing their snacks and goodies for parties and extra curriculars, it makes me a little sad. Now here's the catch...this wish entails a second part: financial stability. I don't wish to be a stay at home mom that wonders how she's going to buy the ramen and hot dogs I have to feed my kids every night. I want to be a stay at home mom that budgets but has the money and savings of a working mom. Hey, it's a wish...I'm allowed to dream big.
I WISH TO WORK ON SOME OF THESE DAMN PINTEREST PROJECTS I KEEP PINNING Admittedly, I pin way more than I actually do. I have boards upon boards upon boards on Pinterest. Yes, some of it is beneficial to my freelance. Yes, some of it is recipes that I use or try. A lot of it is projects that I want to do but don't have the money or time. Example? Loft beds for the kid...holiday decorations...refinishing thrift store furniture....
I WISH TO COOK MORE NATURALLY Those that know me well know that I am a HUGE fan of Sprouts. I love the Farmer's Market atmosphere and I love feeding my family healthy foods on a budget. I prefer to make things from scratch when I have the time and resources. I hate boxed and processed food but sometimes they are a necessity. I wish for the money and time to cook more naturally for myself and my family.
I WISH FOR A BIG GARDEN WITH LOTS OF GOODIES I am a gardening fiend. There is nothing like weeding and feeding a garden full of food and flowers. I am particularly inclined to want a lot of tomatoes (roma...mmmmmm) of all different varieties, bell peppers, jalapenos, cucumbers, zucchini, melons, and anything else I can stack in along with an herb garden. I also want flowers...tulips (my favorite), irises, and just about anything else.
I WISH FOR A NICE BIG YARD I love and appreciate the house that I rent but I'd love to have a nice big yard and a house of my own. It doesn't have to be a huge house...just a house with some space to put a porch swing...a fire pit....somewhere to sit outside and enjoy. Only catch? I'd like to have a space that gets a lot of sun to lay out and sun tan (and read)
I WISH FOR A CHANCE TO GO DO MORE FUN THINGS, ESPECIALLY SPORTING EVENTS I wish for the money and time to go do more fun things. I have a whole list of fun runs I want to do. I want to take the kids to the zoo...and Disney World (Orlando not California's). I want to go camping. I want to go to some pro sports games. I want a whole list of fun things but wishes are not the money to pay for them. Some of it is simply festivals and other goofy stuff that isn't costly but is time consuming. Some is more expensive.
I WISH FOR A 4WD VEHICLE THAT FITS MY WHOLE FAMILY Yes I love my AWD car and appreciate it every time I make a payment. (haha) With that being said, I'd love to have a nice big 4WD vehicle to take camping or do other such stuff with...mountain treks and such.
I WISH TO HAVE MORE SO I COULD GIVE MORE This sounds cheesy but it's absolutely true. I wish that I had more money, time, etc so that I could give more. I wish to volunteer more, help others more, and so on and so forth.
Well now that all of that is out of my system, I can go start my real day. Make a great day, friends :)
