1. I wish the weather in Florida would be in the 70's year round without humidity
2. I wish the rest of the house would magically paint itself (living room and kitchen)
3. I wish I wasn't so huge... even though it comes with the territory of being pregnant

I'm getting ready to host a play date with 3 other mom's and their kiddos. We are going to do Circle Time and a Craft. DD is very excited her friends are coming over. Friday I have an appointment with my Midwife. I am thinking about ordering some enlargements to finish our room because they went 50% off. I just wish the sale lasted until payday. 50% off is such a great deal!

I wish my house was self-cleaning.
I wish I had a job waiting for me when the kids get older.
I wish I had written my dissertation.

Well, tomorrow my friend is trying to organize a splash pad playdate. My kids don't like the splash pad much but they love her kids...but she's inviting this person who she's tried to introduce to me on multiple occasions but who will never acknowledge that it's happening and get introduced...weird. I guess we'll go because the kids said they wanted to, but I'm not really looking forward to it. Today in inside day at summer preschool, so maybe the kids will be functional enough to do something later today. Maybe the pool or our indoor play place--very hot outside. On Friday, we have music class and then maybe our baby-sitter will come over in the afternoon so I can clean...house is very, very messy!

I wish my mom didn't work so much and could watch DD part time so I could work just a little
I wish DD took consistent good naps
I wish my appetite were better


Today we went to the splash pad, but it started raining, so we came home and built a big bed of couch cushions and watched Curious George.
I just rearranged all DDs toys and big stuff around the rooms downstairs to freshen up and maybe get her interested in some of her neglected toys again. I think I was getting bored with the same setup, so hoping it helps me too, haha.
I need to look for something maternity to wear to a wedding Saturday. It will be the first time someone else puts DD to bed. She's like 2 1/4 so it's kind of about time. It'll be good practice for DH and I going away for a next weekend, which is practice for when I go into the hospital to have this baby. It's nerve-racking.
Tomorrow we may have a playdate in the am, definitely one in the pm. Friday I'm working the am and then because she is off were gonna drop DD off with my mom and have a little date afternoon. It's actually more leaving DD in like one month than we have her whole life, but its just how availability and other planned things all fell. I need it though, as awful as I feel for saying it. Yesterday I was pretty emotional. I'm feeling a little better today. H
Hope everyone is doing well!

I wish my child would nap.

Oh, was this supposed to be 3 different things?

Eta. Literally 5 minutes after posting this, he conked out. This thread is magic.

I wish my family could move closer.
I wish I had a new car.
I wish DD would hurry up and become fully potty trained.

DH took the day off work today, and it was nice. We went out for lunch and just had a lazy day. DD was a little sad (by which I mean she threw a huge tantrum), because she apparently wanted to go to the gym to build a farmhouse with a hammer. I'm not sure why she couldn't pretend to do that at home, but since she is still has a very runny nose I'm pretty sure they wouldn't take her.

Thank you sanibel21. The play date was ok. It was my DD, another 3 year old and two 2 year olds. The 3 yr olds sat to do calendar while the other kiddos played. I may do things differently next time. DD and I were both burnt out after the play date. I might have to hold back on hosting things until next year. I think being pregnant is too draining for me and adding the play date on top was too much. I think it would be better if we go somewhere else and can leave when we hit our max, if that makes any sense.

1) That we had enough money to put the addition on our house we would like to
2) DD2 would start sleeping through the night
3) Our family would start helping more with the girls

My husband was off today so we had a fairly productive day around the house. I also made it to kohls and got a bunch of clearance for the girls for next summer. So many cute dresses!
