My dream home . . .

What is your dream home like?

Do you want a house with water front property?

Or maybe not water front, but definitely close to the beach!

Or maybe the desert?

Perhaps you can't stand the heat and want a house in the snow, maybe even dome shaped so you feel like an Eskimo right in the middle of Alaska!


Maybe you want a big fancy house in a crowded, upper class city like Beverly Hills or Hollywood?


Or do you prefer a quaint little cabin in the mountains with very few people around you?

I'll tell you what my dream home is. I don't care where it is located, or what it looks like from the outside as long as it has the following:

1. A big walk-in pantry in the kitchen where I can put the broom, mop, and garbage can inside and lock the door!
2. Bathroom cupboards that are high enough that my kid's cannot reach them and long enough for me to put the plunger, the toilet bowl scrubber, and the bathroom trash can into.
3. A high place to put the toilet paper roll.
4. Floors and counters that are not white (Preferably some type of neutral/tan tile with dark grout)!
5. Carpet that is not beige (preferably something that doesn't show the dirt very easily).
6. Toilets, tables, couches, beds, counters, and chairs that rise up and down, preferably high enough to be out of the kis's reach.
7. Closets in the bedrooms that have lots of bars for the clothes that are up high and not at the same level as my kid's little hands.
8. Closet doors that have locks on them and don't slide open.
9. An entertainment center that has a very high location for our videos/DVDs.
10. A lot more counter space and some type of seat to put my kids in and buckle them in while I am cooking and they insist to be up watching me. . . something to buckle their hands down would be nice too.
11. Doors that I can put childproof knobs on.
12. A computer, TV, radio, VCR, dishwasher, and oven/burners that my children cannot turn on, turn off, open, or close.
13. Lot's of high cupboard space in my children's rooms to put diapers, wipes, and TOYS on.
14. A play room for my kids.
15. A theatre for my kids (not that I let them watch much TV . . . I would never do that)! :)
16. A big yard with lots of fun things to entertain the kids!
17. A maid would be nice too!

I guess the thing in common with most of the things that I want in my dream home are things that are high so my kids cannot get into them and things to entertain my kids! It's unfortunate that by the time we might actually be able to afford a house with all these things my kids will probably all be raised and moved out of the home. I guess there will be grandchildren, but I'm sure I will think my grandchildren are perfect and won't need a lot of these things by then, right!? I guess only time will tell!
