Before I embraced the journey of motherhood, I had countless daydreams filled with adventure and indulgence. I envisioned myself wandering the streets of Rome in stylish high heels alongside my best friend, indulging in rich pastries and sipping on exquisite wines. We would be treated like royalty, with charming men carrying our shopping bags while we enjoyed endless cheese platters.
There were also those whimsical thoughts involving celebrity crushes, like Jake Gyllenhaal, which had a completely different twist. But now, as a mother of three, my fantasies have shifted to more relatable, grounded desires. Life is often a whirlwind, and I find myself yearning for tranquility amidst the chaos. While I’d still welcome a luxurious getaway or a star-studded encounter, my current dreams are simpler: a little less noise, a bit more peace, and fewer complaints.
Three’s Company, Please
At the top of my fantasy list is a delightful escape involving a soothing massage, a shopping spree on Amazon Prime—because who doesn’t love the thrill of quick deliveries—and enjoying a slice of chocolate cake, all at once. Pure bliss!
Restful Nights
Next on the list is the wish to experience deep, uninterrupted sleep like I did before kids came along. I remember those peaceful nights when I could simply close my eyes and drift off, free from the whirlpool of worries about school schedules, forgotten items, or impending night-time disruptions such as nightmares and fevers. I long for the days when sleep wasn’t preceded by a frantic mental checklist. Now, that would be heavenly.
Me-Time
Whoever thought that time alone in the bathroom could be a cherished dream? I crave the simple luxury of using the restroom without interruptions. Just a few minutes of privacy to check my reflection and enjoy a moment of solitude would be a dream come true. I want to avoid hearing “mom” echoing from outside the door, whether I’m showering or indulging in a snack.
Maybe a little alone time would help me regain my focus. I’d love to stroll into a room and remember exactly why I went there. It would be fantastic to no longer forget items on my grocery list, even when they’re jotted down, or to keep track of the day of the week. My children’s schedules often consume my thoughts, leaving me in a haze where I occasionally forget to shave both legs!
Food Dreams
The day when I no longer hear complaints about the empty fridge would be a miracle. Imagine returning home from grocery shopping, having thoughtfully picked out items my kids would enjoy, and not being met with “Mom, where’s the food?” That would be pure magic.
Making Appointments Cozy
Gynecological visits have always been a necessity for women, but couldn’t they be made more enjoyable? Picture this: a glass of wine, some cookies, and a heating pad to ease the experience. It would certainly make those clinical moments more bearable.
A Different Title
Lastly, I’d love to erase titles like “human tissue” and “mess cleaner” from my life’s resume. Let’s add “expert in cleaning up spills” to the list while we’re at it. The less-than-glamorous reality of late-night cleanups is a nightmare I could do without, one that many parents can relate to.
While my fantasies of motherhood may be quite whimsical—filled with peace and quiet—the reality is that chaos, spills, and the occasional identity crisis are part of the package. I know that one day, when my kids are grown and the house is silent, I might miss the little fingers poking under the bathroom door or tripping over shoes. Until that day comes, I’ll keep indulging in these daydreams, even amid the laughter and challenges of parenting.
