a place to put random discourses on life
Content as far as I can possibly be
Published on December 4, 2004 By lifehappens In Home & Family
My mother in law called and asked me what I want for Christmas. I didn't know what to say.

I don't want kitchen stuff (kitchen is too small)
i don't want knickknacks (house is too small)
I don't need anymore scrapbooks supplies (house is too small, but I'm sure I can make room)
I don't really watch movies.
I only read the books my husband buys....I never have time to find a book.
I don't want clothes...I NEED some that fit, but I don't want to get too comfortable in this size. I'd like to be a 10 again.
I don't want jewelry

So I realized, that I must be prerty content with my life if I can't think of anything that I want for Christmas. I have everything I need. I'm actually content with my life. That's not to say I don't want anything, but really they are not gift type things. They range from the impossible to the ridiculous.

I want my husband home again....and no more deployments
I want to fit into a size 6.
I want my son to stop throwing temper tantrums...forever.
I want to never change a dirty diaper again.
I want a minivan.
I want a bigger house.
I want to go back to school
I want my husband to get his E-6

So I am basically happy with life. I am accustomed to the daily grind and I dont' want for daily things. I have far off dreams (car and house) and outright fantasies (size 6 HA! and no more deployments) but I'd have tos ay that I am happy. I don't know if it is just because I have faith that it will continue to work out as it always has or if it is just the fact that I have the important stuff in life, but either way, I am going into the holiday season a content individual.

Fortunately, the down side of my mood swings is pretty short. I'm just too lazy to keep it up for long!
