I can only think of one - steady income of my own! Pretty awesome that's my only need but man, does it ever loom at times.
1. Time with my daughter who lives so far away. Rapid changes have prevented me from seeing her. 2. Faith that all the moves I am making are the right ones. 3. Security during this move (being homeless for 7 months last time we moved gave me PTSD) 4. Strength to stand strong in my position as my Mama's medical POA as she ages. 5. A good night's sleep, which is far and few between as our life makes so many changes

I've got everything I need but the list of things I want is getting longer and longer. (Now that my kids are getting older, I get to dream for myself again.)
Indoor shitter. Also a car with less than 250000mikes miles on it. But also indoor shitter times five.
Need; More mom breaks , a yoga/ meditation space with a door, a massage regularly, childcare to go to gym, an 8 hr stretch of sleep,
Infant life vest, bladder, control, cookies, a paved driveway, more cookies
Running water. Indoor plumbing. Clothes that fit this postpartum body. Breastfeeding friendly clothing. More time before I have to go back to work.
5 hrs to myself. 🤣
A house cleaner. A retirement plan. A more present husband. Time with friends. And for all this fucking snow to melt!!!!!!
Help cleaning my house Help decluttering my house A date with my husband Reassurance A therapist
I need rest. I need a good lay. I need to be surrounded by friends. I need to stop hating myself. I need a new life.
Sleep, a personal cook, someone else to wash+fold laundry, more hours in the day, a hug from my mom
Sleep. Healthy body. Nourishing meals. Time alone. Time.
Time Ease A snack Sleep Elastic waist pants
1. a MIL i get along with 2. Iced coffee in the fridge 3. A good nursing bra 4. Jeans that fit right 5. A manicure

A handy person, a small chain saw, a passport for my kid, a beach vacation, and a local middle aged lesbian.
Sleep. A cure for autism (for our 4 yr old guy). A cure for multiple sclerosis (selfishly, for me. So I can be a better mama). Time. More time with my little ones as little ones. More time to play at the beach. More time to spend together as a family. More time to be myself, an artist and a partner and a gardener and all the things that make me, me. More sleep.
Time- to catch up on the 60 hours of missed work from being sick last week. Uninterrupted sleep- for any amount of time over two hours. Childcare- just for a week from someone dependable and safe. A dishwasher- oh for a dishwasher. A glass of champagne- or a bottle-to drink with a book and a bathtub and absolute silence.
Rest Relaxation Belly laughs A chef A housecleaner
Strength, power, patience, energy and time!
