A Few Birthday Wishes: What I Really Want

Dear Hubby,

It’s my birthday today. But I know you already knew that.

I also know that you are wracking your brain at the moment thinking about what to get me so I thought I would give you a couple of hints. Here are few fabulous ideas (in no particular order) that would make me the happiest wife and Theta Mom on the planet for my special day.

Ready?

Forget making dinner reservations. Instead, cook me a meal and give me the week off. #amen

Let me sleep in at least ONCE beyond 6:30 am. #justonce

Wipe your child’s butt for the entire day so the only butt I have to wipe is my own. #thankyou

Don’t worry about buying me chocolate. Instead, tell me something totally sweet that I want to hear. #prettyplease

Be sure to have a bottle of red wine on hand. #youknowthedrill

Clean the kitchen, fold the laundry, vacuum and mop the floors. #thatwouldbesoawesome

Call the pediatrician, make all future appointments, pack the lunches and be sure to communicate with the teacher. #fabulousness

Let me talk on the phone and carry on a conversation for more than two seconds without being interrupted by a little person. #seriously

And watch the kids some more so I can actually pee in peace. #bymyself

Don’t let me change one diaper, wash one sippy cup or clean one piece of clothing for the entire day. #notonce

Entertain the kids long enough to give me some uninterrupted time to blog and tweet. #whatdreamsaremadeof

And whatever you do, be sure to tell me how pretty I am, how happy you are that you met me and that you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but right here. #nodoubt

Yes honey, that would be one hell of an awesome thirty-something birthday!

Love,

Your Beautiful Wife

  1. Sounds like the perfect birthday! On my first Mother’s Day I told my husband that the only things I wanted was to go a whole day without changing a diaper and to sleep late.

  3. Happy Birthday!! That list sounds amazing – I hope you get every single thing on it!! I love how when we get to be married, mommies and 30-something our desires change from tangible gifts (although they are still awesome) to acts of service!! :)

  6. Now that would be an awesome day – and I say since we have birthday weeks, make it the whole week! Happy birthday! I hope it’s great!

  7. Happy 30 {somethin} birthday :) I think, that many of those “wishes” are on my very own wish list, too. Ahem… maybe I should send this over to my hubby. lol…

  14. Firstly HAPPY BIRTHDAY (fellow Aquarian)!

    I love your list…most of those were on mine too. And I’ll admit I was slightly disappointed that I didn’t get most of them though. Next year I’m definitely sending the request in a bulleted form like this via email to Hubs! :) You are brilliant!!!

    Enjoy your day.

  16. That would be living the dream!! I hope you get at least some of your wishes (he better get moving), and enjoy your day!

    Oh and don’t forget “let me watch any bad show on the DVR without interrupting it for Nick Jr.”

  18. Happy Birthday! I think I should “syndicate” this post straight into my hubby’s inbox LOL

    I hope you get some of the things on your list and maybe a surprise or two as well!

  23. I am going to steal this and post it on my wall when my birthday rolls around cause Lord knows I feel the same way! AMEN to everything!!!! Happy Birthday!!!

  27. My birthday is Sunday, and my list is similar. I have a great hubby who shares in a lot of the parenting, but I just need to actually take the time he gives me. I bow to my own guilt sometimes.

    I hope you have a wonderful day!

    The almost gonna be 40 something….

  28. Happy birthday, my friend! Love how you used #hashtags in a blog post!

    That’s the thing about motherhood, isn’t it? It’s not just the day-to-day stuff, it’s all the big-picture stuff we have to do to. All the never. ending. stuff. While trying to get a moment for privacy in the bathroom.

    Ah well. Hope you have a great day!!

  33. Happy, Happy Birthday!! I hope you get everything on your list! :-) I may have to show this to my husband when my birthday rolls around because we have similar wishlists.

    –Totally off subject, but why do you use hashtags in your blog posts? Is it an SEO secret I have yet to learn? :-)

  36. Happy Birthday! I hope you get even half of what’s on your list! I can remember those days! Now I am worried about things like where is dear 17 year old daughter gonna get $150 to pay for traffic ticket? Ugh!
    If you get a few quiet minutes to tweet in peace tonight, you could always join the #wineparty at 9 pm, EST!

  47. I laughed pretty hard as I read this post! It is so my life! Everything! Right down to the need to pee in peace. By myself! Whenever my husband asks me what I want for Christmas/birthday/valentines… the same thing always comes out! “A clean house and a moment to myself!” Now I know why my mom always said that…
    Happy Birthday, and I hope he gives you every single wish here! If just for one day!

  48. This sounds pretty similar to a letter I wrote to my husband for Valentine’s Day. And hey, we have President’s Day coming up too! That merits special treatment, right? #milkit
