I need; I want...

...in no particular order:

  1. A day off. I think if I can have this one, I can wait on all the others. I haven't had a whole day off since before my daughter was born. (That's two years ago...) A couple of times (2? 3?) my husband and I took a day off together which is nice... but not really a day off. I just need a whole day to myself.
  2. Brian's green card to come through. They've been making us jump through hoops for almost 3 years. He's a nice, gainfully employed, tax-paying boy from Ireland with a wife, child and house -- enough is enough already!
  3. For us to move out of the city... or at least far enough out of the city that our daughter can have a yard to play in. Parks are nice, but not quite the same. I want to hear crickets at night -- not college students partying (boy am I getting OLD -- lol!). It would be really nice to be closer to my family too. Obviously, this one depends on #2...
  4. To come up with more options for dinner that all three of us will eat.
  5. A new job. It was always a small company; now it's microscopic. I'm doing the work of whole teams of developers. Too much pressure. Too much stress. My hands hurt.
  6. To have hip-replacement surgery (arthritis at 41, soooo not cool). I'm already scheduled for this, but I have to wait 'til June. I also need to know that Kassia will understand why Mommy can't pick her up for 4 weeks or so. My heart breaks every time I think about it.
  7. To go camping again. Soon. Maybe this summer with Kassia???
  8. To do more travelling... before I get too old.
