For once

For once I'd like...

- to get to work and not find some sort of snot smear on my clothes.

- to have a private moment to myself in the bathroom. When I ask for privacy the little guy disappears for 5 seconds and then returns with an imaginary object in his hand. He says, "Here you go mom. I got you some privacy."

- to look under the dining room table and not find any crumbs.

- for people to stop asking me when I'm going to have another baby. Leave me alone already!

- to have a bath without the company of sharks and dolphins.

- to win the lottery.

- a jacket that doesn't spring holes in the pockets.

- to eat my breakfast in peace. Every day after eating a breakfast big enough for an elephant the little guy says, "Bite? Bite?" in the moochiest of voices.

- a one minute pick-up from daycare instead of what feels like an endless string of lollygagging tactics.

- a three day a week job that pays the same or more than my current full-time job.

- to make it out the door without forgetting something.

- a self-cleaning house.

- to be able to eat anything I want but not gain any weight.

- to write all of the stories I have in my head into a collection of best-selling novels.

- for someone else make my lunch (hint hint).

- a pair of pants that I don't need to hem.

- the little guy to say,"I'm not going to go in my diaper any more!"

- a little bit of "me" time with no strings attached.

- to feel a little more like the energizer bunny.

Now it's your turn. What would you like?
