d8rkmessngrI have notebooks of fic I want to type out, but:
1. Christmas came right after Thanksgiving. There needs to be a three month distance.
2. My twins' school is broke so they're making ME broke by guilting us parents into bake sales. Six dozen lemon ricotta mini cupcakes, anyone? Or how about apple crumb muffins? Four batches of vanilla macaroons? I'm touched the twins brag about mommy the baker, but, um, let's keep quiet next time Jen and Jeffy, okay? LOL.
3. Toy shopping before Christmas. Need I say more?
4. My twins don't want toys. Yay for anti-materialism. Boo because what now? LOL.
5. Yes, darling of my life, I have no problem with five of your shift coming by for football & dinner. Grilling? In the winter? Uh....
6. No turduken (Thank you!), no turkey, no chicken, could we have steak this year at $2.99 a pound, dear?
7. What is an iPad (iPod?) and why does hubby look at them in Walmart like it was Chris Pine and John Barrowman in the smuttiest crossover--oh, wait, *I* look like that. :)
8. Christmas Eve dinner my place. Christmas lunch in MiL's, Christmas dinner at mother's, Boxing Day lunch (don't ask) at SiL's, then post-Christmas-I-need-Pepto Bismo dinner at my father's. Can we say gym membership for Christmas, boys and girls? (burp)
9. Where did all my gift wrap go? Bought a dozen rolls post Christmas long ago to save money. All gone.
10. Trips to the Mall - 6 Mommy's Sanity - 0
11. How wrong is it to have a Janto snippet pop in your head while having Lindt chocolate samples in the mall's sweet shop?
12. Neighbor's wife got me into Sherlock BBC and Sherlock/John. Coat Porn. Scarf porn. I'm building a higher fence between our houses.
13. Job interviews - 5 How Many Sitting In Office Way Younger Than Mommy - 37
14. How many pleas to schlep to city to stare at a 16' decorated spruce from a distance in Rockerfeller Center? 29
15. How many times it took twins to convince hubby to do above? 1 (headdesk)
16. How many times the children want a puppy (hello, THREE cats!): 13
17. How many times the children want a hamster: 11
18. Fish: 5
19: Iguana (Iguana!?!): 4
20: Snake (nononononononononono): 2
21. Little sister/little brother: 15 (headdesk) Oh, hoooooney...
Sigh. Ho, ho, ho, happy Christmas, gang.
