Aside from the obvious, that of happy, well-behaved, well-mannered, well-adjusted, socially-accepted, and successful (as defined by your own personal beliefs on what constitutes success) children I often find myself wishing for the following:
- A chance to finish a cup of coffee uninterrupted and without having to reheat it up in the microwave at least three times…
- The opportunity to go to the bathroom in peace and quiet…
- The time to take a very long hot and uninterrupted shower…
- The luxury of actually sitting down to a hot meal with the rest of my family…
- A self-cleaning house…
- A maid (someone than me)…
- More hours in the day to be the mom my kids need me to be rather than the mom reality dictates me to be…
- Clothes that are less mommyish and more reflective of the woman I am underneath…
- A day at the spa to re-energize and regroup…
- A shopping spree to get those few things that we as moms don’t often buy for ourselves because we are putting our kids’ needs first…
- More patience…
- A vacation with my husband to remind myself of how it all began…
