All the things I'd love to have time to do!

Many people think I do a lot of things, and are amazed that I can get accomplished what I get done.  However, most of my time is spent wishing I could get that much and more done.   I've sometimes sat and thought that if I had the time I would spend time on so many more things.  So here's a few!
1.  I would love to have time to scrapbook more!  I go in spurts, every 9 months or a year or so I will get out all of my scrapbooking supplies and do a couple pages.  And  yes, I've seen the digital scrapbooking, and while it does look easier, I really enjoy the creativity and fun of cutting things out, layering things, using all sorts of fun stickers, etc.  Its just time!  If I had a dedicated space where I could leave my projects out without the worry of little fingers messing with them I think I could spend more time on it, but as it is, its on my wish list.
2.  Photography.  I got a nice camera a few years back, and I would love to be able to spend more time taking pictures, especially of my family.  It seems the more children I have, the less pictures I take of them!  But I would like to get better at it.
3.  Baking/cake decorating.  I would love to take a class and be able to make better cakes for my kiddies.  I think it would be fun, and I would have fun with my kids doing it.
4.  Cleaning & Organizing.  Its a little sad, I know, but I really would love to be able to get all the organizing and cleaning done.  I love reorganizing areas to make them more functional and better looking.  I love the feeling when I can walk through my house and have everything in order, know where everything is, and still have room to spare.  This for sure is kind of a pipe dream when you have 3 kids 5 & under, but nevertheless....
5.  Reading.  I LOVE to read, especially scifi/fantasy books.  If I could get paid to read all day, that would be freaking awesome!  Sadly though, my reading days are few and far between, usually its around Christmas time when I get some new books and I have a week or so to read them.  
6.  Family history.  I would love to spend hours researching my family.  Its not just about names and trying to find more people, its more trying to find out about my family.  What were my ancestors like?  Am I like them?  Did I inherit my little quirks from someone?  I know the information is out there, but I just need more time to research it.
So those are half a dozen of the things I can think of off the top of my head.  I suppose I should be content with all the things I do get done in a day, working, interacting with my children, handling the finances, going back to school, etc., but I wish I could do that much more.  I don't know if I'll have more time as the kiddies get older, but maybe just maybe I can chip away at these things as I find extra time here and there.
