Housewife Fantasies
I am a fairly simple person. Honestly it does not take much to keep me happy. Healthy kids, the Simpsons, bacon and decent weather are pretty much all require.
However I do have some super secret fantasies. A conversation I had on Twitter the other day inspired me to share.

I love the ocean. Prior to moving to Vermont I lived about a block from the ocean in Massachusetts and I miss it daily. A lot of people say “But there is Lake Champlain!”. Alright the lake is nice. Our first apartment (ye old overpriced crap shack as we used to call it) in Vermont was lakefront and the view was beautiful especially with the surrounding mountains but it just isn’t the same to me. I am an ocean person. Period.
My super hot super sexy housewife fantasy is to have a home office with an ocean view. I would have a different chair, would be using one of our Macs, and would not be obstructing my view with that giant flag (a little to the left please). Other than that the picture is perfect!
See I am simple and most likely this fantasy will eventually become a reality once I convince my husband how much nicer of a person I am when in close proximity to an ocean : ) I have other super hot (lame) fantasies like using the bathroom alone again someday but I will save that for another post.
How about you?
Tell me your super secret mom/dad fantasies.
Just the picture makes me drool. Seriously. And I only live 12 miles from the beach. And it’s 78 & sunny here today.
I’ve said for years now that #1 on my bucket list & uber fantasy list is to have a weekend away–ALONE–at a glorious beach house with a “few” bottles of wine, my favorite music, books and/or movies and a big ole bed. Drink & take walks during the day, read & listen to some music and drink more and watch movies at night and then a long, hot bath before falling asleep to a 12 hour coma…NOT to be woken up by anyone before I am good and ready.
Again…drooling. Ugh.

I hate you for your gorgeous weather but love love that idea. What would you eat though? Ice cream sundaes MUST be involved.
I just want a 4 hour swedish massage from George Clooney every other day. But yours is a nice one too! Maybe we can combine our fantasies into a huge super-fantasy? xo,

Fine but you keep George. I stopped liking him because he seems too womanizerish. Its just me or nothing!
I borrowed your fantasy for a moment there. I completely spaced out, staring at that photo, and imagined myself sitting there. Ahhhh….. heavenly.
Snap! Back to reality! Boo.
I’m simple too… I’d love to sleep in, an endless supply of pizza hut breadsticks and free front-row concert tickets whenever I wanted.

yes and never ended dipping sauce for the bread sticks! so delicious.
OMG FINALLY something we do NOT share in common. I HATE the beach. Sand in your lips & crack, salty residue causing itchy skin, watching your kids frantically play Chicken with the rip tides….No thanks. YOU can have your beach and I’ll take my mountains. Which reminds me. I live 1/2 hour from the beach, you live in the hilly (er…mountainous) area of VT; can we trade?
My fantasy is that I’d live thisclose to a ski resort. I’d take my kids skiing every winter day (unless they weren’t old enough in which case they’d go hang with the nanny) and during the summer, we’d frolick with nature on hiking trails and dip our toes in the edge of the local lake. *sigh* yep…someday. When my husband cuts the umbilical cord enough to leave his parents more than 4 hours away.

Ok we are totally trading. I like looking at the beach. I agree with the rest of what you said though. And dont forget the annoying seagulls.
