    - Baby that sleeps through the night
    - House all on one (or maybe 2) levels, instead of 4
    - 2 car garage instead of 1, or at least not having tandem parking
    - My parents being nearby

    If DS quit waking up every 1-1.5 hours at night (aka STTN).

    I got a pay raise and could afford to hire a maid.

    @MerryC: it's just such a hassle to lug it up and down the subway stairs. so i either go infrequently and buy a lot and take a cab, but go more frequently buy a little and take a backpack and carry as much as i can.

    Moving to a bigger city/house (hopefully this year) and me getting a job. Both of those things would (will, hopefully) be huge for us.

    A cleaner, and permanent instead of temporary residency. Our biggest stress is constantly dealing with the renewal process.

    Having an extra bedroom. And having a regular cleaning lady.

    A cleaning service, even once every two weeks!
    My parents moving to my city. I'm very close with my family and being even an hour away stinks!

    Being about 3 inches shorter so I don't have to order clothes online. (Or maybe the stores could start carrying long/tall in store?)

    Someone to watch the kids only while I cook dinner. They have been driving me a little crazy these days at that time of the day. But then eating dinner and bedtime afterwards is fine!

    @CupQuakeWalk: also ditto with you... DH needs to sleep earlier! Also my DH can function on less sleep than me so it makes it even harder than me.

    Sorry to steal other people's reasons... can't think of anything good

    1. A new job for DH where he could work a normal 40 hour week (but make as much money as he makes working 70 now) so we could spend more time with him.

    2. My parents living closer. My mom is my best friend and I miss her terribly.

    The ability to hire a housecleaner would feel like I won the lotto.

    If daycare drop off and pick up didnt add 45min to my commute each way

    When is someone going to invent teleportation?

    Being able to afford a larger home where we currently live. We so need more space. Oh wait, not that small lol. Just an extra bedroom right now would make a world of a difference, or even a playroom.

    One thing I'd love to change is if dh had a driver's license! I'm the only driver and sometimes it can be really inconvenient.

    If it stopped being -40 ALL THE TIME, and the ice would go away and we could all go spend some time outside for once!!!!

    Hurry spring!

    @Chillybear: my girlfriend assures me she is working hard on it.

    DH having a more reasonable work schedule. He works at least 10 hours a day Monday through Saturday, and it just sucks. Whether it meant normal 8 hours shifts or getting Saturdays off too, I would just absolutely love for me and LO to have more time with him.

    @MsLipGloss: Ditto on the chef! oh my gosh.... that would be amazing.

    @Chillybear: Exactly this!

    ~ About 500 more sq ft with 1 more bedroom and a playroom
    ~ If everything would quit breaking all at the same time
    ~ If my husband had a set work schedule instead of being call 24/7

    *ETA
    Oh yeah and if our house wasn't being infiltrated with #&*@ing ANTS!!!
