Birthday Wishes (Caution: Totally Material Wishes)

Well, as you may or may not know, my birthday is Saturday! Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo Hoo Hoo! I'm not one of those people who get older and think their birthdays don't matter. Nope, not me! I LOVE my birthday!!!!! So, in case you have come into some money, or win the lottery tomorrow, or just want to know what I would like for fun, here are my birthday wishes:

1. Canon 5D, Mark II camera.

2. Canon 50 mm, 1.4/1.2 lens

3. Bissell steam cleaner (the newer one that will steam both tile and carpets)

4. Day at a spa

5. A day to do whatever I want by myself

6. Housekeeper to clean house next week **** (Mike, this one's for you, love. Well, they all are!)

7. Dinner at Blue Fish

8. Take my laptop to the computer guy and get all the stuff done I need

9. A full night's sleep (possibly in a hotel)

10. A night at the Great Wolf Lodge (obviously not the same night as the one previously mentioned)

11. My car to be detailed

Have you noticed how many of these have to do with cleanliness?? This is making me laugh!

I guess that's about it. I may update this as I think of things. It's fun to wish!!!

Woo Freakin' Hoo!

Woo Hoo Woo Hoo! I get to go to Chicago for my BFF's baby shower in April! I bought my ticket today, so it's official! Wishes really do come true!

I dream of Genie

If I found a Genie in a bottle today, here are my wishes:

1. If I got 3 wishes, I would use my first wish to wish for enough wishes to cover this list.

2. A housekeeper. It's bad--in fact, I almost had a breakdown this morning. I know I'm a stay-at-home mom and I'm fine with the housework usually, but I feel like I've become the housekeeper. I refuse to be the housekeeper. I think we are going to institute a new rule: Every night before bath time, we will spend 20 minutes picking up the house.

3. Someone to do the yard. I don't Mike to have to do the yard, taking time away from the kids, when he gets so little to begin with.

4. My hair done and a lip/eyebrow wax. It would be nice.

5. A fresh coat of paint. The inside of the house really needs it. Think kids with markers (that are "washable") scribbling on two walls. Not to mention the hundreds of times trucks, airplanes, and racecars have zoomed into said walls. And tiny handprints.

6. A trip to Chicago. The weekend of April 18th. So that I can go to my BFF's baby shower.

7. All the "little" things in our house to be fixed. Nothing big--but lots of littles.

8. Did I mention a housekeeper?

9. Most of all: health and happiness for my family. I guess this is the biggest wish and the one that is at the top of the list.

10. I could go on, but I'm feeling greedy. And you know what my dad always says? "Don't let greed bite you in the ass."

Love you all! Keep warm!!!!
