My Time Will Come...

I have been saying this a lot lately. I am becoming more and more content with the way things are in my life by saying to myself "my time will come". Some things I have said this about:

1. Enjoying the weekend of conference to actually sit and listen to all the speakers. This seems quite impossible with three kids talking, asking questions, playing with toys (even quiet ones aren't quiet to a 4 and a 6 year old), crying, eating, and whatever else they do while I try and listen.

2. Traveling. Frank and I always wanted to do something big for our 10 year anniversary, perhaps another cruise, but really, who are we going to get to watch our children? I would still love it if we got the opportunity, but I know that when our kids get older we will get our chance to travel and see the world. Yeah!! Can't wait!! Right now we are happy to travel with our children because Frank and I love Disneyland as much as the kids do.

3. Scrapbook. I kind of explained this in a few posts back. I don't feel justified scrapbooking when the house is a mess and my kids are rotting their brains in front of the television. Yes, sometimes I do get to work on a few things, but then I have to clean up my mess immediately. Someday I will have a scrapbook room instead of a toy/junk room.

4. Go on a mission. Now I know this is an obvious one concerning timing. But I can't wait to actually study and preach the gospel. I have never been one to "know the scriptures" but I know when I'm on a mission with Frank it will be my chance to learn more about the scriptures then I ever have. Again, can't wait!!

5. Never pay a babysitter again. Now I really won't have to wait that long. Jackson is already really good with Gavin and Camberlyn, so I think when he's about 11 or 12 he will really step it up and be a great babysitter. Won't that be wonderful to not have to plan the weekend so far in advance that I need to know exactly when I'm leaving, where I'll be, and when I will be home, and competing with everyone in the ward to "reserve" the best babysitter? I'm sure when this time will come I will be so sad because Jackson will be so old, but there are a few things to look forward as the kids get older.

There are many more, but these are the few I've thought about lately.
Has anyone thought about this besides me and what will you do when your time does come??
