wow Hayles this is a really tough question to ask!
Lets see....
Ideas and plans well we have quite a few regarding our house.
We actually have a document saved on our computer called 'wishlist' that we have/do put everything we think of that we want to do to our house to make it more ours and we delete it off when done. Mind you not much has been deleted off yet! lol
As you probly know the biggest reno is happening this year and is our deck so that is really gonna drain us of money so we wont be doing too much after that for a few years to come!
It is a bit of a plan/hope of mine to take our kids to Disneyland when they are a bit older. I am a kid at heart too and I wanna do it just as much as I am sure they will enjoy doing it. The only thing I do worry about is 'Disney' is a dying breed - will they even know who they are? iykwim?
I planned to take B and this bubba in a few years time when Brett has his long service leave - B will be 7 and this bub will be 5 so good ages. I then said we would come back and have #3 if we still wanted to. But I think I have changed my mind and if we are gonna have 3 then I would want to take them all so would plan on doing it much later in maybe 10 or 12 years while B is still young enuf to really enjoy it and #3 is old enuf to. If that makes sense.
I do worry aswell in this day and age about flying overseas so I guess it depends on what the world is like then too. Maybe we will just go around Aus if it is too scary!
Once my baby days are over and all of them are at school I would like to go back to the workforce - providing financially I can stay out for that long. Fingers crossed.
I am not sure what I want to do really - I would never go back to retail and definitely never ever back to retail management. I have done that my whole life so am very over it. I have done a business course but I dunno if I will go for that yet either. I woldnt mind doing something from home but I havent really found what yet.
Hopes well mine are very mirrored to yours Hayles.
I want my children to grow up happy and healthy and to outlive me.
I want to grow OLD with Brett and remain as happy as we are now too.
I want so much for my children to love us as their parents and not abuse us in anyway. It breaks my heart to watch my sister and her attitude towards life and everyone around her so I would hate for any of my children to turn out like her. I also hope none of my nieces or nephews do but I think at least one of them will, you can already see it.
And for the near future...hehe.....I want to deliver a happy and healthy and well baby (of either sex) in late december/early Jan. I hope that Brandon accepts him/her as his lil sibling and adapts okay to it and knows that we still love him just as much as the new one. I hope for a trouble free pregnancy again and for a trouble free smooth delivery with NO ventouse or other intervention!
I also hope the colds and flus that B and I are battling are the LAST we have to for the year but I know I am probly dreaming there but hey you can only dream!!
