Have you ever wanted to...

Have you ever wanted to:

  • Be a fly on a wall in someone's house (or life) that you think has a really great family, because you want to find out how to do the great things they do?
  • Home school your kids just to have the freedom to go and explore the world like a child again (and for so many, many other reasons), but you have a hard time wanting to take your kids out of a pretty darn good public school (as far as public schools go)(and you also lack the confidence in teaching your own kids)?
  • Throw almost everything out of your house and start all over again, with a more simplistic approach?
  • Paint almost every room in your house and add a back-splash and a chair rail, all in a six month period while pregnant?
  • Take a month long road trip with four kids, not including your husband?
  • Completely get rid of your TV? (No more movies again... unless you watch them on the computer)
  • Get rid of your Wii after only 4 1/2 months of owning it?
  • Rent a big motor-home and tour the country with your kids?
  • Completely change your family's way of eating? (go from eating out occasionally to cooking only from scratch and go from occasional junk food to no sugar, no processed junk, etc... you get the idea)
  • Work really hard at living frugally so you can pay off your house in a few short years?
  • Run a marathon while pregnant but you are so tired all of the time, so it is hard to find the time to run when you should?
  • Take a spontaneous, fun trip with just your husband? Maybe a cruise? Maybe surprising your spouse with it?
  • Throw away almost all of your kids toys while they weren't around? (Ya, I'm crazy. And a mean mom.)
  • To be in four or more places at once?
  • Pack up and move, to have a new adventure in a new place?
  • Have a lot of money, so you could secretly help a bunch of people in need?
  • Live out in the country with a lot of land for you and your kids to explore and have a mini farm? (But still close enough to a decent sized city, so you don't go insane).
  • Be way more organized but don't know where to begin?
  • Spend hours and hours uninterrupted, blogging, sewing, photo organizing, etc., etc., ??
  • Go on a sisters trip without any kids? (That may happen someday - if I EVER stop having kids - ha!)
Well, I have. I've wanted to do all of those at one time or another (or maybe all right now... kidding - sorta). Some of them are more thoughts or dreams, some of them can become a reality. I just wanted to share some of my random thoughts from my head lately. There are many more that I just can't think of right now, because I have a pregnancy brain right now. (I love that excuse. And I really, really believe it! It is so true, especially this fifth time.)

What are some things you have "wanted to do"?
