Tell me what you want, what you really, really want!

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.”

Walt Disney

Okay, so this deployment has begun......

I'd like to share with you what I really want during this time.


*I want calories not to count, I want my clothes to always fit.

*I want to think about exercising and lose weight.

*I want a free pass from the teachers, administrators, and coaches for not signing said forms, for a disholved kid and for general absent-mindedness

*I want to have the power to sleep for 5 hours but for it to feel like a full 8.

*I want to be able to clean the house top to bottom in 30 minutes.

*I want the Jetsons refridgerator where it's automatically stocked.

*I want my plants and my dog to get their own water.

*I want square meals to appear on my table.

*I'd also like the dishwasher to load itself and for pans to dry themselves and crawl back in the cupboard.

*I want the garbage man and the recycling man to take my trash bin out to the curb and sort my recyclables even if our forget.  (My garbage man will slow down coming down the street when he sees me rush around to the side of the house to retrieve my bin and will wait.)

*I want every light to turn green when I approach.

*I want my alarm clock to automatically set itself.

*I want the clothes store to come to my house so I don't have to drag these 3 boys to the store.

*I want the US government to rent me a nanny or a driver.

*I want the US government to pay me for my part.

*I want people to just in general have more patience and understanding for someone like me.

*I want the internet to ALWAYS work properly.

*I want nothing to break down for the next 6 months.

*I want immunity from all illnesses!

*I want the hairdresser, dentist and doctor to come to my house.

*I want all sport activities to get rained out when I just don't feel like going.

*I want the bus to be late when I need it to be and early when I need it to be.

*I want at least one celebrity to come to my house on my birthday to make it not so crummy.  I am pretty sure Peyton Manning will be free in May.

*I want a free vacation.....without kids is okay.

*I want the government to fly in 3 girlfriends at any point during this deployment....maybe I should ask for a private jet.

*I want a barrista fixing my coffee every morning, in my kitchen.

*I want the dirty clothes to get themselves to the washer, dryer and back to their cloests or drawers.

*I want automatically clean floors.

*I want the weather to be to my liking every day.

*I want someone to invent the technology they used in Star Trek to transport someone from one place to another.

*I want no overdue charges at Red Box.

*I want fresh flowers every day.

*I want a room at the ER on standby, just for me......and no wait.

*I want a get out of jail free card for any speeding tickets I may get or for any infraction really.

*I want the movies to come to me.

*I want a massage every night.

*I want valet service everywhere I go and for that Princess Parking sign to be near the door.

*I want a tiara for every occasion and every outfit.

I think you get the point, these are the things that would really help me when all I really want is for him to be home.  He's irreplaceable.  Until the day he comes home I'll have to dream of all of these things and be satisfied with the little glimpses of happiness that show themselves everyday.  My kids are healthy, we have a wonderful home, I've met some amazing people I can count on, I have a job I love and I live in the greatest country all in part because of my husband and his sacrifice.  I wouldn't trade this life for anything........not even for all the Princess tiaras in the world.
