- put their shoes in the baskets in the mudroom?
- hang their jackets up on the hooks?
- NOT TOUCH ANYTHING but their matchbox cars?
Seriously. Don't touch anything. That includes the Christmas tree, the ornaments that you insist on using as soccer balls, the wrapping paper, and all items of food in the pantry. Also, please don't ask me to make you chicken nuggets. Don't ask me to turn on the Backyardigans for the 500-millionth time. And the tape- for hells sake- LEAVE MY TAPE ALONE! DO NOT wrap it around your head.
I have officially hit the "You-Are-Driving-Me-Crazy" Mom Wall. It's 11:24 in the late morning.
Aaron keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. And my answer is this;
- a house that will stay clean for at least 24 hours.
- a good book
- a moment of peace and quiet
That is all I want. You can tell me how much you love me, and how I'm your favorite wife EVER tonight as we battle the kids together. You wear the body armor, and I will wear camouflage. And know that right now I am singing U2's "Baby, Please Come Home" as I write.
Seriously. Just come home.

I do, however, have a couple of items to add:
1) Can you just get dressed? Without being poked and prodded and yelled at and sworn at?
2) Can you just eat your breakfast? Wihtout being poked and prodded and yelled at and sworn at?
3) Can you just brush your damn teeth? Without being poked and prodded and yelled at and sworn at?
Mandee thanks so much. That seriously made my day.
Just dreamin.....
Except I had to give up use of the word "damn" when Max started repeating it. It was my only and favorite swear word.
And to Wendy- such a great idea. I think I'll try it.
Cheap thrills, man, cheap thrills...
Thanks for making me laugh today. Sorry it was at your expense.
Seriously, what type of frosting to you like on your chocolate cake?
Or how about telling them to clean the toys up and ended up telling you that, "He did the mess?" Then the other one tell me, "No, I didn't do that. He did that!" Felt like pulling my hair out...
Santa Claus will forgive you for using the new darnest word :-)
Just hang in there and enjoy what you can.
Love, Mom
Also, I saw some cheetah mocs in Macy's ad. Totally thought they looked like you.
