What I Want For My Birthday

My birthday isn't for a few months yet, but I know exactly what I want.  I want a Day.

That's right.  Just one Day to do whatever I want with.  ALL BY MYSELF.  Here's what I want to do with the Day that I probably won't be getting for my birthday.

• I want to empty the dishwasher without stopping every other dish to take care of someone else.

• I want to pay the bills without someone trying to steal my calculator to play "computer" on.

• I want to close the door to the bathroom and not have anyone barge in or bang on the door repeatedly while acting like my absence is literally destroying them.

• I want to sit down and read an entire chapter of a book without interruptions.

• I want to watch a whole movie (not just part of one!) without little voices yelling from the bedroom "Can I get up yet?" every 14 seconds.

• I want to vacuum the living room without children screaming from the back of the couch because they're positive that I'm trying to suck them up with the vacuum.

• I want to fold a basket of laundry without any little "helpers" to unfold things as fast as I fold them.

• I want to sit down at the sewing machine and sew a dress from start to finish without having to get up 27 times to break up a fight, change a diaper, get someone a drink, etc, etc.

• I want to sit down to eat my supper while reading some more of that book I started earlier without anyone asking me for a bite or touching my food.

• I want to clean up the living room in the morning and have it still be clean in the evening.

• I want to brush only my teeth, put on only my pajamas, and put only myself to bed.   

You don't think I'm asking for too much, do you?
