An Eagles View: The List

There are all sorts of lists! We all make them, we all have them. Grocery Lists, Wish Lists, To-Do Lists. There is one list in particular that always gets pushed aside in my world. That list being my "I Want To List"! This isn't just any list of wants, but THE list of wants that benefit me and only me! Something that I want Just for Me.

I want to.....

Sit and read my magazines. All three months that are stacked up on my nightstand.

I want to clean out my purse. I'm tired of sifting through crackers, chopsticks, and lip balm just to find my phone.

I want to take a nap. A long uninterrupted nap, by myself!

I want to change out the scent in my Scentsy warmer. I never think of it until its just too late.

I want to sit at my sewing machine and create something. Just because!

I want to just sit and be and read...

I want to watch the hours and hours of things being stored in my DVR.

But alas, the list of 'Need To' or 'To-Do's always wins when facing off! I am off to do the things that need doing!

What do you want to do?

What I'm Doing Here...

I blog for so many reasons. This started as your typical 'Mommy Blog' but quickly evolved into so much more. I blog to stay sane, document our days and to express myself.

I like to claim this as my little corner of the blogosphere. A safe place for me to share my story, my boys and their crazy antics, our adventures as a family and the odd occurrences of our household.

I'm grateful for all of you that support my ramblings -on a daily basis- and welcome those of you visiting for the first time. Its my hope that you come and sit a while; that we may have a chance to get to know each other.

Randi Troxell , 24 February, 2009 08:33: seeing whereas I own and operate my own studio... I am ALWAYS here... I would loooove to play hookey and let someone else take care of everything just once... just one day is all!
Jillene , 24 February, 2009 08:57: I want to do all of the above except the sewing part. I am sewing illerate. Can't do it at all. My dad had to sew my 8th grade Home Ec project or I would have failed!!
Kristina P. , 24 February, 2009 09:01: I finally cleaned out a couple of my bags last week. It was depressing.

Hey, did you get my email about March 14th?
Kristen , 24 February, 2009 09:04: How cute!

It's also like my job...don't they know I want to blogg all day and get paid NOT work!
Debbie , 24 February, 2009 09:47: I want to sit and read blogs all day. But alas, the housework is calling:)
Ashlee , 24 February, 2009 11:37: I moved my "want to sew something for no reason" over to my must do list to save my sanity. If I have an idea of something to make, it will drive me nuts until it gets done... The dishes can wait :)
Just SO , 24 February, 2009 11:52: I want to sit at the computer and play Scramble on Facebook. I want to travel the world. I want to sit and read. I hate the needy list.
McMrs , 24 February, 2009 12:49: I hope you get to do some of those things on your want-list!
I'd love to catch up on all my shows I havent watched since decemeber, scrapbook, read a good book and just be.
Shan G , 24 February, 2009 13:24: I have books and magazines by the box full that need to be read. I want some pure uninterrupted quiet. Just for a little while. I want to do all the things/projects I have running around in my head (or finish the ones I've started but never finished).

I understand. I feel you. I "get" you. I want the same things.

Let['s pray for each other, shall we?
Country Mouse, City Mouse , 24 February, 2009 13:30: Sometimes I just wish for a little peace and quiet.
Fiauna , 24 February, 2009 14:31: I'm right there with you. Be patient. The time will come one day and you'll sit and sigh.

Jo , 24 February, 2009 15:50: At some point, at least for me, the nap becomes non negotiable, because I am no longer functional. 5 hours today. I guess I was tired.
Anonymous , 24 February, 2009 16:39: I want all of that too! Every bit of it. How come I know that and still sit in front of this stupid computer?
Missy , 24 February, 2009 18:12: Your list sounds pretty good! I'll copy yours! LOL
Dawn Parsons Smith , 24 February, 2009 20:14: This list is my list too:) I have tons (literally) of magazines to read, etc. You are spot on!

Love this post! (Fabulous, as usual!)
Cassie , 25 February, 2009 00:26: I want to get back home to farrr N.Idaho. I want to watch all the back episodes of Chuck we've recorded. I want to get my need to's done!!
Simply AnonyMom , 25 February, 2009 05:37: I agree with you on this post. There are many things I would like to do, but after cooking, cleaning, laundry and playing wiht the kiddos there is rarely time. But that is OK. There will come a time I want to play with the kids and they will no longer be young playmates and then I will have the time to read and watch DVR and miss my babies.

I need to pay some bills. ;)
Bonnie the Boss , 25 February, 2009 12:59: All of those sound like awesome things to do. I LOVE uninterupped naps and if I get bubble bth on the same day! Heaven!
Andrea , 26 February, 2009 23:35: I want to go on a vacation, buy a home (our first), buy a van...ohhh simple things? I want to sit down and blog, take time to smell my littlest guys freshly shampood little red head, organize my photos online, clean out the cracker crumbs and stale treats sifting around in my car, sit and breathe (a little massage wouldn't hurt either...) and relax. But if I truly thought these things were so incredibly important, I would be doing them. Right?
Donna , 27 February, 2009 11:45: This is a great list. Last Saturday I wasn't feeling well and I laid on my couch from about 11:00 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. and got caught up on most of the shows that have been in my DVR. I went from having 2 hours of storage left to 30!! It was awesome! I haven't watched that much TV in a long, LONG time!
