  • Oven mitts
  • A baking sheet
  • Crisco
  • Garlic powder
  • A stapler
  • A large pot
  • A VCR
  • Cough drops
  • Vitamins for S-Boogie
  • An iron
  • An ironing board
  • A car
  • Decent serving dishes and utensils
  • A freezer that fits more than two ice cube trays and two cans of juice
  • Magnets
  • A hall closet
  • A light plugged into the outlet controlled by the light switch by my front door
  • Time
  • The willpower to go to bed when I'm supposed to and not procrastinate large assignments
  • The ability to stay awake in class when I haven't gone to bed when I was supposed to
  • Running shoes other than the ones I keep in my locker at the gym
  • Children who stay asleep when they're supposed to
  • Patience for children who don't stay asleep when they're supposed to
  • Something clever to end this list with

Children who stay asleep when they're supposed to

Is it wrong that I feel good that others have this problem? One of ours is always sneaking around the house after bed time.

And I’d add: thermometer, band aids, and antibacterial ointment. I hate it when a sickness or injury comes up and I'm unprepared.

The ability to stay awake in class when I haven't gone to bed when I was supposed to

Seems better than falling asleep when a patient is telling you where it hurts...
