1. My sanity.
2. Nice furniture.
3. A fear of bodily fluids and excrements. Even puke doesn’t bother me anymore.
4. 8 hours of sleep.
5. A smaller butt.
6. A clue. I found out fast that I didn’t really have one at all.
7. Free time.
8. A laundry room without piles of dirty clothes.
9. Quiet dinners out at restaurants that don’t serve meals that come with toys.

About Colleen Stout
Colleen spends her days wiping butts and pulling up pants as a stay-at-home mom to four year old David and three month old Wade. She and her husband Dave, who’s still putting up with her after 11 years, make their home in West Michigan. After graduating from college, Colleen worked as a journalist and a communications specialist. One day she realized she’d rather be at home making dinner than sitting in a cubicle listening to her boss talk about his Camero. Colleen packed up her desk, went home and had a baby. After getting her fill of Oprah and The View, she decided she needed something else to do besides watching daytime television. So she started her blog Mommie Daze where she writes about the funny, the sweet and just plain crazy moments of motherhood.

No. 6? Yeah, when my daughter reached double digits in age, I became incredibly stupid. Now, she’s 20 and remarkably I got smart again. Funny how that happens.
But no. 10? Have to totally agree with that one too.

I’ve got that empty place in my heart. I’m still looking forward to having children.

Whoa, #6, TOTALLY.

I don’t have children, and I don’t have any free time or an empty place in my heart.
