by sassychick ~ Things I wish were available:
Instead of a bag boy who LOADS your groceries, how about a service that follows you home and UNLOADS your groceries and put them away.
A machine that you can insert toys with dead batteries into (see photochicks blog) and it would unscrew the back, replace the batteries, put toy back together and hand it back to you. When it was done it would scan the room for other toys in need of repair.
A toy manufacturer that made a toy with NO TWISTY TIES to untie when removing toy from packaging. It should not take longer to unpack the toy than it does to drive to store, find toy, purchase toy, drive home, and get kids in house.
A tiny little paddle that walks behind your children and gives them a gently nudge on the bottom when they leave their trash in the middle of the floor, RIGHT AFTER YOU SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY CLEANING THE HOUSE. Not that I'm bitter.
A computer chip to place in husband's head that will tell them, don't kick trash in floor to the side, bend down, pick up, insert in trash can. Still, not that bitter.
A fingernail protector that will keep your children's hands from looking like they have been working on a '64 mustang all morning.
A shampoo bottle that doesn't tempt my children to pick it up and dump it's contents into THEIR bath.
Bed sheets that change themselves weekly, instead of the ones I have, that I have to change LESS often.
A bigger paddle that walks behind your children and gives them a less gently nudge on the bottom when they forget to flush the toilet. So you don't find it. Upstairs. A week later.
A job that pays you an insanely large paycheck to stay at home and play with your kids all day.
I mean, if we're dreamin.....
i like the last one the best.

a machine that cooks a delicious, nutrious dinner that everyone likes EVERY night.
I would love to just have Rosie from the jetsons, a robot to do all the cleaning, cooking, etc. would be wonderful!!!!

Amen, those twisty ties drive me insane. My husband assures me that the little Chinese guys take pride in their work. Ugh!
How about a machine that washes, dries, folds and puts away the mountains of clothes a family of four can produce in 2 days.

I'm sticking with the batteries. They are expensive and getting into the back of a toy is just about impossible without superman or the bionic woman!
Wel, that and the paycheck to stay home, or corse!!!!!

I need one that changes diapers and baths your children when you get to big to lean over the bath tub and your husband don't get home untill 8:15 at night!

I need a volume button for the tiny chicklet when he's crying because I'm not holding him and I can't take the decibal of his cry any longer!
OH yeah....and the high paying job to let me stay home with the kiddos in addition to Robot Rosie.

I don't want any machines. I want to be able to cross my arms and blink and clean my house, make my husband disapear (just temporarily), bathe my children and put them to bed.....and hey - maybe even take care of the mountain on my desk at work. And I would love to look like that in a jeanie costume!!!
