8 things on my wish list
This will be easy because I think I have everything I have ever wanted right now. Over the last year I have had many opportunities to reflect upon my blessings every day. I have learned to appreciate even the small things like having clean running water, having a washer/dryer, having my kids kiss and hug me when they get home from school. The only things I really wish for is....
1) To someday be able to cut my hours or quit work all together to be more of a stay at home mome and not be such a tired mom
2) OH....and...I still don't have that refillable drink mug from the megaplex theaters. If I had that, my wish list would be packaged up all nice and tidy!!
