Wishful Wednesday — Gym Membership

02 Sep

Such a small thing, really.  And in the old days, I could have afforded this without blinking.  Too bad I didn’t have the motivation.  But now?  I have all of the motivation in the world and no money.  I slacked all summer long because it was hot outside and now I have to get back into it…but one really hot day or one rainy day can put a stop to a streak.  It would be nice to have working out inside as an option, along with the childcare that most gyms have available.

I’m looking forward to the new YMCA opening as it’s just down the street from me.  I’m really hoping my family qualifies for a scholarship, though.  Because if we don’t I might as well forget about it.  It’s just not in our budget.

Wishful Wednesday — Who’s out there???

26 Aug

Today, my wish is to know who’s out there reading this blog.  Just leave a comment and tell me.  If you’re someone I know in “real life” (that I didn’t already know was reading) I promise I won’t be bothered…I know better than to put this out there and think someone isn’t going to find it and read it.  So who are you?

To leave a comment, look down at the bottom of this post.  There will be a link that says X Comments (X being the # already left) that you can click on.  Just follow the directions and let me know you’re out there.  And if you have a blog, link me up.  I could use some new ones to read!

Wishful Wednesday — Sleeeeeeeeep

19 Aug

And not just any kind of sleep…I want 8 straight hours, completely uninterrupted by children, a small bladder, bad dreams, body aches, a snoring husband, or anything else that frequently wakes me up when I should be recharging my batteries for another day as a mom of 3.

I think the last time I slept 8 hours straight was sometime in early 2002.  I suspect this is the reason a lady randomly said to me in the grocery store line today that she thought I needed prayer…I believe my sheer exhaustion on a day to day basis is starting to become obvious to even the casual observer.

Tell me that it gets better.  Preferably sometime *before* they all leave for college!

Wishful Wednesday — Date Night

12 Aug

Just a few hours alone with my husband.  Actually, a date lunch would be just as thrilling as a date night.  With all of the various sleep issues mostly resolved, we’re getting some time in the evenings to chill out together and watch (fight over?) TV.  But I’d love to get dressed like a grown-up for a few hours without children.

Of course, the only thing we’d talk about is the kids…

Wishful Wednesday — A Vacation!

05 Aug

We’ve made 2 very quick day trips to the beach this summer.  All three kids have loved every minute of the sand, surf, and sun.  I wish we could take them on a longer trip.  We have a long weekend coming up later this month…I’d give anything to have a hotel room (or small house…then we could make our meals and save money) right on the beach for that weekend.  Sadly, like almost everything else, this is not in the budget.  I suppose I should just be grateful that we could afford the little day trips and that we’re close enough to make them, but I’m sad that we can’t do more.  I remember some great beach trips my family took when I was a kid and it makes me sad that we can’t leave our kids with memories like that this summer.  Hopefully next summer is different!
