Five Things You REALLY Want To Do:
I'll go first, and my list is longer than five, (and is in random order) but yours doesn't have to be:
1. Have more time to write each day.
2. Pay someone to do the laundry for me.
3. Have Starbucks start the "Starbucks Truck" so you can just go out your front door when you hear the music and buy your nonfatsugarfreevanillalattenowhipiced-in-summer, hot-in-winter without having to drive anywhere.
4. Get back on track with WW.
5.Have more time to sleep.
6. Have more time to read.
7. Never have a period again, but not have to go through menopause to get there.
8.Be able to rewind some parts of life to review them again (first meeting with hubby, first moments holding babies, ... this could turn out to be another whole post).
9. Get lots more music for my iPod.
10. Get a weekly (hell, I'd settle for monthly!) massage.
11. Get novel published.
12. Learn to cook really healthy, good foods and not get stressed out in the kitchen.
13. Cancel number 12... Instead, hire a personal chef to cook for me every single day.
14. Never have to be bothered with shaving hair from ANY part of my body, or plucking or trimming or anything.
15. Be able to eat anything without gaining weight or feeling crappy.
16. Have more time to dedicate to a workout program, do more yoga, continue to walk four miles a day (this week has been a bust).
17. Go on more beach vacations.
18. Appreciate it more when the kids just want me to snuggle and cuddle with them, because I'm realizing already that their desire is waning.
19. Be a better wife, mother, friend, sister, aunt, cousin, daughter, writer, cooker, sleeper, vacationer, exerciser... hell, I could have just made this one my one post.
20. OK, this will be the last one so I better make it good. Hmm... let's see... What is one thing I really want to do? One thing that will change my life, make me a better person, make others better for the good that I do... Hmmm... really, it's coming to me, it really is. I wonder if I should say something about God... the one thing I really want to do is... go get a "Gotta Love It" sized cake batter ice cream with caramel, hot fudge and brownies mixed into it from Cold Stone Creamery.
How about you? What do you want to do?

4) Build our dream house
5) Travel, travel, and more travel
There are lots more, but there is my 5!
Love this list! You walk four miles a week--you're my idol! The one about going back in time to those special moments would be great. I don't like how the memories are there but some seem to fade a bit. If I could go back and hold my babies again for the very first time, perhaps, my hormones wouldn't be trying to trick me "just one more time". Noo! Good thing, my husband is pretty set against a third. Because I so get the urges. Help me!:)
Marel, I third isn't so bad! I thought 2 kids was harder than 3, oddly enough!
I never did get my ice cream craving, maybe this week, amidst all the stress I will get some (Rachael is having foot issues and might need surgery *sigh*).
Christa- yes, I AM talking about your bro! We had three kids together, so you gotta know he's good at something!! LOL!!!!!
I love reading these lists.. it's fun!
Cold Stone Creamery...yum!
I want a professional cook and a maid. Where are these people? And do they work for $3/hr??? The real question is "can I afford to pay someone $3/hr"?
So sad.
sleeeeeep more.....
Charity--OK, I'm waiting for your next 15... please list them here!
Marel--This is going to make me sound like an uber-snob-workout-diva-bimbo, which I AM NOT! But, I've actually been power walking 4 miles a day (when I get my a$$ out there and do it!)
And I agree with Devo--Three is not so bad, especially if you've been through the "Going from zero children to one" and "Going from one kid to two kid" stages... Three's a breeze, except for when the squirt is refusing to go to bed and is laying on the floor right this minute as I type!
Nance--You not sleeping much? Maybe it's cuz you're WRITING A BOOK OR TWO!!!
Jennie--you have a beautiful list! Thanks for sharing!
