Merry Ho Ho Ho

Santa came! and replaced my daughter’s regular legs with mile-long spider limbs!   freaky oh man. Kyle, Erin, and I played a game of Life – it was almost as painful as the real thing! And with this gift, Chris gets his phone back. Priceless. But then he had to build the Monster High Catacombs. No Barbie Dreamhouse for our little ghoul. I don’t think Chuck Norris appreciated his inflatable unicorn horn, but I sure appreciated this box of art supplies from Santa! And with the arrival of the grandparents, came an outfit change. Girl cleans up nice. We are in trouble with this one. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

I then was able to fall happily asleep again. It’s now after 9:00 PM and I’m finally sitting at my computer. And what do I see scribbled on the notebook before me? Oh holy crap! The days are quickly dwindling only six days till our dear Savior’s birth! I’m not ready, no final preparations I need to shop and what are we going to eat? To stores, to stores, the crowded parking lots I dread them all, I can not find a spot! Fall on the couch Oh hear my arches screaming The crap, the crap that I have bought to fill stockings The crap, the crap That I bought for Christmas morn   And this is why I try to ignore the voices in my head.
