I want to life swap with those people, too! But, you, no, your life sounds too similar to mine!

Swapping, eh? I think women in general could benefit from something like “wife swap” only kids and husbands wouldn’t be required. Sometimes being in another pair of shoes (well, not your *own* other pair of shoes) is enough to make you realize exactly what we’ve taken for granted in our own lives. Or at least it lets us see that what we thougth was sucking the very last breathe from us is not quite is actually not quite what it seems to be.

There are days that I would trade with a mom who had more flexible hours or who worked part time. Then I get into my work and remember why I love teaching, and decide I wouldn’t trade with anyone in the world.

I’d like to life swap with Angelina Jolie… but only if I got to look like her too!

yes, swapping would be fun. A taste of another life for just a short time would make me appreciate my own even more. the mama bird diaries's last blog post..deep purple

It would not do you any good to trade with me, I only have one son but add in a pet sitting business and 2 dogs,7 cats of our own! Yikes… what gate do I board again!

I was just saying today that I would love to run away to the beach, by MYSELF!!

I would swap with you, but since I have a toddler and a baby I doubt it would be much fun for you!

Although, Carli….I do have a dog!

Hey Shannon. Consider swapping with me… 4 homeschooled kids and nearly 36 weeks pregnant. That ought to make you feel better about your life, right?

But I think my life is pretty cool, so I wouldn’t swap with you for long.

Wish I could give you a week away alone for your birthday. I hope it’s a happy birthday anyway!

While the grass may be always greener, I still want to be on the side that I don’t have to mow.

It’s true: The grass is always greener.

But as a single woman with a job in NYC where I’m tied to a cubicle 8 hours a day, I gotta say you’re definitely right on one thing: When I get home, I have no one to answer to. If I want to eat peas and a half pint of blueberries for dinner–standing up, without cutlery–I can.(Did this last week). And I can watch a sappy lame movie like Flicka, with no one to tuck in to bed or tell me I’m wasting my time. Thank you for reminding me how awesome that part of my life is, and how great it is that I have two weeks of pure solitude coming up, no matter where I go.

At the same time, I read your blog and think how cool it would be to live away from the hustle and bustle of the city with flexible work hours, an entrepreneurial spirit, and the ability to work towards your goals in the company of a loving family. And a fireplace and a Playstation 2. If you were to get a dog, I would potentially talk trade.

“But if there was any way I could hop on a plane and spend a week alone right now, I’d be off in a heartbeat.”

There must be something in the air!

This time of year, I always feel like I need a break. I was just telling my husband that I need a vacation.

I really do think that you’re right in what you said about the grass always being greener. I was just telling a Moms ministry group at church yesterday that there are so many people (especially online) that I just feel so inferior when I think of them. But, then I have had many times when people that I know (even in “real life”) make comments about wishing they were as organized and put together as me. I think, “I’m sorry — do we know each other?” LOL
