Magic Wand vs. Time Machine

Which would be handier to have??

I think a magic wand would be awesome - think of all the potential uses: dishes - done!, laundry - done!, floors - done!, bathrooms - done! Didn't plan ahead for dinner or don't have all the ingredients - no problem! Running late - get there early! Even better if it could make sick kids (or parents) well. The pitfall would be I would probably overuse it and burn it out in a week or so, and what would I do with all that free time? I'd kind of like to find out though.

But a time machine could come in really handy too, especially if it could in fact stop time in order to get caught up or get some rest or whatever. Forgot an appointment or meeting - go back and do it over! Didn't get enough sleep - stop time for a nap! Sick kids - jump ahead to when everyone is well! The drawback to this though might be to skip over too much or be tempted to stay on just the good days. Since we don't appreciate the good as much without the bad, though tempting, it probably wouldn't be the best idea.

Good thing this is not a decision I'll ever have to actually make, but it's interesting to consider anyway! What do you think??
