| 1. Good friend for Aaron – A Christian boy (Baptist would be best, but not necessary) preferably between 9-11 years of age with a good disposition. Homeschooled. That likes to build things – especially with K’nex. Who doesn’t say swear words including but not limited to - sucks, stupid-butt-head, stupid, dummy and/or other things of similar vein (including the miss-use of the Lord’s name) and worse and who doesn’t run around naked…as Aaron has sisters (this means he needs to wear his shirt unless he is going swimming). He must also be relatively polite, kind natured, and a positive influence - likes to play chess, flag football, and is interested in collecting and catching strange bugs, likes Narnia and Redwall. Being a member of a “large” family would also be helpful but isn’t necessary.
2. Two every day skirts – suitable for everyday life and good for sitting on the floor with a toddler, going to the grocery, or having lunch at a café. I want one in denim and one in khaki. Loose and flowing, but still hip - mid-calf in length, not too full, but not snug to my legs (I like to be able to move around). They need to have drawstrings or another way to tighten or loosen the waist so as to fit my changing stages of life. (Right now I’ve lost all my pregnancy weight and can’t fit anything.) Another really cool benefit would be to have matching “shorts” made out of cotton or other material which can be worn underneath – for those times I am sitting on the floor, etc. (Size 2-4 petite)
3. A sweet, good natured Christian girl (that is not easily frazzled) to baby sit my children as needed – preferably between the age of 18-29. That comes from a large, homeschool family and knows how to care for multiple children of multiple ages including infants and understands that part of watching children is making sure they clean up after themselves (i.e. I don’t want to come home to a house that looks like a tornado blew through). Should also be able to cook.
4. A large country house – that sits on 1-5 acres of land in rolling countryside. Would be made of Wood and stone, although brick and stone or all stone would be acceptable. Would have an aluminum/metal roof, at least six bedrooms and an open floor plan. Two large stone fireplaces – one in the kitchen. The kitchen would also have an island. It would also need to have a room that could be used as a schoolroom with lots of bookshelves and multiple built in desks. Two living areas, a breakfast room, a dining room and a porch on the back. Large master bedroom and at least 3 ½ bathrooms. A separate bunkhouse would be nice as well. Needs to be picturesque and free. 
And one more thing…I can’t believe I forgot this one (I forgot this in my original post) as this has been on my “to get as soon as I can” list for a long time – and especially now since we have outgrown our current tables.
5. A large table (possibly two large tables – one round, one rectangular) that seats 10-12 people with or without one side bench. With two leaves so that it breaks down to a smaller size when not in use. All wood. Preferably dark in color, but not black. Walnut. Under $1000. |
