I want to take my
daughters to the park. I want to cook fresh, healthy food for them. I want to
make lovely dresses for them. I want to bake cakes and master cookies and
create works of edible art. I want to start blogging again. I want to write a
second book. I want to make yummy food. I want to have a lovely, clean house. I
want to sort out my cupboard, the kids cupboard, Sam’s cupboard, the linen
cupboard, the crockery and utensils cupboard, the cupboard-that- is- full- but-
I- don’t- know- what’s- in- it*. I want to read more books. I want to read the
books I’ve already bought on my Kindle. I want to watch and do the various
lessons I’ve bought on Craftsy. I want to read the news. I want to Facebook my
friends and Pinterest for inspiration. I want to talk to my parents (…more than
just “how are you? Bye”) I want to do art with the girls and take them dancing
and swimming and for gymnastics. I want to go out and socialise. I want to
remember my friends birthdays etc. I want to get better at sending people
gifts. I want to moisturise my body every day. I want to wear socks so my feet don’t
get so dry. And condition my hair. I want to cleanse-tone-moisturise daily. I want
to have nice hands. I want to have a Lara Croft body and eat cake. I want to
exercise. I want to look good in the clothes I already have. That I cannot
find. I want to organise my cupboard. I want to reorganise the guest room and
get all the pictures/art framed. I want to plant the freesias and lettuce. I want
to paint the Elsa canvas and finish the Winnie Pooh cross-stitch. I want to
deep sleep.
I want to fit it all
in 24 hours. I don’t want to lose my mind. I don’t know what to do.
(*I’ve already sorted
the Baking Stuff cupboard and the pantry, yay!)

well why dont you make a list of the want's and start doing them one by one :) hopefully all the wants will get fulfilled
all the best
Bikram's
Glad to see you back! I'm in the same "wanting" phase as you. And don't even have kids. Well, the 4-legged ones, but those poor creatures don't demand half the time and attention that human babies do.
Also, like Bikram said, making lists helps. So far, I'd been too lazy to even draw up lists. I just got down to it this weekend. You already have a list right here in your post. You can put it up somewhere visible (like the fridge) add in specific tasks so you could tackle them one-by-one. I see you're already gotten some of the stuff done. Yay!!
You've also sort of started the blogging bit!
:) Oh. Didn't even realise that. Thanks for pointing out Espera.
Hi Pallavi -- how're you going with your list?
Quite okay, actually. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't but at least they help me keep track of the bazillion things I want to do :) Over this long weekend I made NO list, but I got a BIG job done. (If you must know: Readying wooden strips to be drilled into window panes for velcro-ing mosquito nets onto them. :P ) It really was the only priority, so a list wouldn't be useful anyway :)
Did your bitching/list-making help?
