That’s right! Tomorrow is the big 3-6 for me. I can’t believe it. I feel like I don’t know how I got here. I was 11 when my mom turned 36 and I thought she was so OLD! I was only just 18 and heading off to college. I’ve been married for 14 years already!! Reality check. Yep – I’m that old. Since I am the birthday girl, I guess I can use my own blog for my list of demands – oops! I mean my list of wishes.
- I want to sleep until I wake up. And even when I do wake up, I want to be able to stay in the bed until I feel like getting out.
- I want to be really selfish for an entire day – no thinking about what others need (or want).
- I want to eat dinner in a restaurant! A nice sit-down place where someone comes and serves me. I might even wear a little makeup for the occasion. It is so rare these days for our family to eat prepared food from something other than a box!
- I want to browse through a bookstore and pick one of each: 1 book, 1 DVD, 1 CD.
- I want to go see a movie. In my former life, almost every special occasion was celebrated at the movie theater.
- I want to have lunch with a friend and sit and tell stories and laugh the entire lunch!
- I want to spend the afternoon browsing the flea market or antiques mall.
- I want to snuggle on the couch with my 3 children, while my oldest reads us book after book.
- I want a beautifully tender kiss from my husband.
- I want to know that all of my family and friends, near and far away, are glad that I am a part of their lives. I know I glad that they are a part of mine!
