It’s that time of year I enjoy the most…just past fathers day and just before my oldest sons birthday.  The longest time span in the year that I have no one to buy for, no one to hold a party for, etc. 

Just before my sons birthday is my birthday…and I’m already working on my wish list to give anyone who makes the mistake of asking me what I would like for my special day! 

A few things that come to mind: a new car, a new house (let’s get the really big ones out of the way first), a new laptop, luxury watches, a persian kitten, a cairn terrior puppy….boy, this list could go on forever!

What I really want is a few minutes of peace…a few minutes in which my children wait on me, my husband cooks my dinner and I can sit in the living room and watch whatever I want on TV without someone pointing out that they don’t like whatever it is on the screen!

Can I have that?? Even for only a little while….
