What do you want for Xmas?

Drea926 · December 2013

Real or fantasy!

I want a night in a hotel alone with lots of room service!!! (Fantasy obviously! )

kleigh926 · December 2013

Fantasy? A new job for my husband and a new house (hopefully not fantasy for too much longer, but fantasy for Christmas at least).

For real- a gift card for a massage. I hold all my tension in my neck and shoulders, and there has been a lot of tension lately

colinsfebmommy · December 2013

I wouldn't mind a full day at the spa, getting all the treatments that I always look at but know all I can afford is one.

Drea926 · December 2013

I had never gotten a real professional massage until this past summer. I got a hot stone one and it was insane! So good! It was my Mother's Day gift but I didn't take it until right before school started.

One is better than none at least!

tamarar5 · December 2013

Fantasy, I wasn't too get the loan for the restaurant short notice, sell my crappy house for more than I paid (possibility b/c I bought it foreclosed), move back to WI, and finally be reading above water financially and not have to live paycheck to paycheck ever again.

For real I want my husband to actually get me a Christmas gift that I didn't have to pick out or buy myself. I don't even care what it is our even if I can ever use it.

Or I wasn't a Kitchenaid 6q Stand mixer. Not going to happen though because we just had to get the new washer and dryer.

DublinMama · December 2013

Fantasy: I want my college loans paid off. It would seriously put about $700/month back into our account each month. Insane.

Reality: I want a spa gift card. Or a liquor store gift card lol. Or liquor to drink while at the spa.

Watch for deals after Xmas for that! I'm pretty sure Kohl's sells them and they always have ridiculous after-holiday sales and there's always coupons floating around - you may be able to get one for cheap!

I've been thinking of you! I hope everything is okay with you and your hubby. And I can't think of anyone more who deserves a nice massage!

octobermama87 · December 2013

Fantasy- I wouldn't HAVE to go back to work and could just be a SAHM and have more babies, or only go back to work part time if/when I want to. (Sorry about spacing- on my iPad here). For real- be able to get into this house we're buying quickly so we can rent ours out and be able to do the renovations cheaply (my DH and I do it ourselves) cause there's not much in the bank account. And I'm thankful that DS is too young to ever remember not having an extravagant Christmas.

SidraJedi · December 2013

For reals: massage, for my three speed to be fixed and for a bike caddy for DD. I won't be able to bike much until Easter but I'm super excited for it!

Fantasy: 2 acres of land with a South facing slope and a spring.

eriannc22 · December 2013

Fantasy - a week long vacation somewhere warm, with DS, but an angelic, good sleeping version of him.

Reality - I would really like the Japanese straightening treatment done on my hair so that it could be wash and go. I hate all forms of primping and barely have time for it, but I also hate looking homeless.

Drea926 · December 2013

I hope you ladies get what you desire this Christmas - or at least close to it! Hugs and love all around!

YES to the above. That's my ultimate fantasy.

I also often daydream of getting a hotel room, drinking as much wine as I want to, sleeping in as long as I possibly can, and watching any and all of the trashy TV that I can handle.

Thank you

Things are a lot better. He is going to regular counseling appointments and seeing his family doctor for depression. His doctor also put him on an antidepressant. Overall DH seems to be in a better mood lately, and not in denial anymore that he needs help. His job still sucks though, and job searching has not turned anything up yet. Hopefully the new year will be better.

Oh I am so glad!!

I'm sure with the new year there will be plenty of new job opportunities! My DH is putting out feelers for a different job as well.

MommyAndHerLatte · December 2013

Fantasy: I wish there were two of me so that one could provide loving care (and boob) to DS while the other me gets a massage and reads magazines at the spa without worrying about DS' naps or nursing schedule.

Oh, and I wish my hair would hurry up and grow back so I wouldn't have these random tiny pieces of postpartum hair regrowth sticking up everywhere.

Myzticsunshine · December 2013

Real- scrapbooking supplies! I've been so wanting to put some together. I'm also kind of hoping for a gift card- preferably visa. I would need money to print out photos, and it would also be nice to do a little bit of clothes shopping for myself. So any of these, really would do.

Fantasy- a home. I really just want to put my baby in a nice, afforadable home. I want him to have his own room. And I want a pool, while we're in fantasy land.

somebuddiesgettingmarried · December 2013

Kleigh- very happy to hear things are looking up with DH!

Fantasy: A night in a hotel with Jon Stewart, Matthew McConaughey, and Ryan Gosling.

Reality: A full night's sleep- like a real 8 hour chunk with no wake ups! And an iPAD.

wifeofadam · December 2013

new stainless steel cookie sheets
a cast iron griddle
a new coat
an Excalibur dehydrator

fantasy - a cleaning lady who comes once a week

wholenewworld · December 2013

fantasy: cleaning lady, nutritionist who also cooks it all for us

reality: not sure? we don't usually do presents (weird, I know). we prefer to treat ourselves year-round.

holly321 · December 2013

Reality, a cleaning lady. Fantasy, less drama in my life.

stacrb98 · December 2013

Fantasy: a beach vacation just the three of us (DD, DH and Myself). While I am dreaming I would like us to magically arrive there without having any travel time!

Reality: A gift card to Victoria Secret so I can treat myself to nice new bras once I am done BFing!

Nice! I worked there in college for three years and it has spoiled me on nice bras for life!

singingsea · December 2013

Fantasy: A day at a spa followed by a hotel room and a couple bottles of wine

Reality: I asked for Just Dance 2014 and several bottles of sriracha.

CamMyMan · December 2013

Fantasy- I'm on board with a spa day (mani/pedi/massage/haircut/color) and then a night in a fancy hotel with DH ordering room service and lots of wine without having to worry about pump and dump. Reality- for my baby to finally STTN bc DEAR LORD I am a crazy person after almost 10 months of sleep deprivation. Actually I usually function pretty well at this point but still, I would kill for a full night! (I might as well put this in fantasy thought bc soooo not gonna happen). Maybe also a gift card to go on a date night? Idk I'm boring, all I want is for my kid to freaking sleep :P edit - sorry about the huge text block, I'm on my iPad!

musicalmama5 · December 2013

Reality: Cash. Super boring, I know, but boy would it make my life a bit less stressful right now... Some new clothes would be nice too. Haven't gone shopping for myself in a while.

Fantasy: A 2-story home with at least 3 bedrooms and a front and back yard in the city not the suburbs.

I'm still wearing maternity clothes because my boobs and belly are too big for pre prego clothes and I haven't found anything that fits. Or looks nice. Or can afford. *sigh* I miss new clothes. And zippers.

Kate504 · December 2013

Fantasy- pay off student loans and truck note se we would have and extra 1k a month. Move back home to New Orleans. A day job. For my mom to get a better job (she just had to take a huge pay cut and now has to travel 40 minutes one way because she's not young enough to retire) Reality - new running shoes and dslr camera, but I know the camera isn't happening
