I want simple.
I want less STUFF.
I want more TIME.
I want to unschool.
I want to homeschool.
I want my children to mostly if not entirely self direct their own learning by the time they’re 16.
I want a small house. (in the country)
I want said small house to have solar, wind, and water power.
I want a garden. (not just a garden but a greenhouse to sustain our family)
I want produce that does not have the MONSANTO genetics seeds. I want produce with REAL nutrients.
I want to spend nights outside looking at the stars, having camp fires, and learning/teaching constellations.
I want free range chickens again. (with an ‘easily moveable’ coop to reposition their bedtime place every week or so)
I want more books..
I want less mindless TV (I love TV but only if it’s teaching something)
I want more legos for my oldest boy, dress up and music for my girlie girl, and cuddle time for my ‘baby’ who is almost 3.
I want more sleep.
I want more hugs.
I want a grocery store that does not have an entire isle devoted to cereal choices…….
OK …. I could make an “I want….” list that goes on and on and on and … ON…… forever.
so —-
I just want today. To be perfect. TODAY. To be healthy. To be safe. To be content….
And it is —– As long as my 3 Happy Hooligans are with me… and we’re playing/laughing/learning/growing.
Appreciating the moment. Even the stressful (loud, headache causing) moments.
That’s all I want. It’s honestly all I need. Simplicity.
