Pulling myself out of my childish funk long enough to be tagged by my darling.

Hmm. This is hard. I'm such a homebody, strictly wife/mom type, that I'm afraid all my thoughts sound silly.

If I could be a missionary...
I'd take my sweet Elizabeth with me, since she's said for several years that she wants to be a missionary when she grows up.

If I could be a farmer...
I'd "tithe" to the food bank. They love to get fresh produce.

If I could be a writer...
I'd write a book on all those mothering myths. The ones that say you are a bad mother if you get tired, frustrated, overwhelmed, lonely, angry, and sometimes sick to death of being mommy. I'd find a way to make moms understand that that's okay, and it's normal. I'd write a book that would banish the Mommy Wars forever: SAHM vs. working moms, breast vs. bottle, little Tommy started walking before your little Susie, you loser. I'd call it "Just Being Mom".

That book probably already exists, huh?
