Hey Santa!
I hope you’ve had a great year. Hopefully you and the Mrs got to take some time off this summer, chill out away from the cold of the North Pole. I’ve been pretty good this year! I think everyone who started the year speaking to me is in fact still speaking to me. My child is still alive. I did kill a fish….maybe I didn’t clean his bowl as much as I should have but I tried. I haven’t lied very much and I haven’t spoken ill of ANYONE! (note I said I haven’t lied very much). So essentially, I’m pretty sure I’m on your nice list this year (look how parenting can turn a girl around!) so I thought before it’s too late, I’d send you MY list. I can guarantee you it is Scooby free.
1. A child who sleeps in past 7 on weekends and not just weekdays, in his own bed.
2. A house elf.
3. A villa in France, paid for, stocked with beautiful wine. Bradley Cooper is the pool boy. Clooney is of course my partner in crime. Peter Dinklage is Will’s ‘manny’. Oh and there would be lots of cheese and…
4. A two week stint playing any role in Les Mis on stage. Even that annoying young Cosette part.
5. A dog who walks and feeds itself.
6. Lips. Like my own but triple the size.
7. A personal chef would be great. But one who is a bit crazy like Nigella Lawson. We could at least whoop it up when she isn’t slaving over a hot stove.
8. Rob Ford’s resignation. COME ON. I’ve been so good!
So reviewing this, it may seem like a lot. But I’d be willing to pare down #3 to just having Cooper, Clooney and the P-Dink living in my basement at my beck and call? What do you say Santa? It could make up for all the years that you snubbed me on the guinea pig??
Okay, okay. We know this in tongue in cheek and Rob Ford will never resign. What I really want for Christmas, besides #1 above is for all of my family and friends to be happy and healthy in the year ahead. I want all the babies who are due to arrive to get here safely. I want to continue to grow as a mom and to be more patient with my kid and others. So now which list is looking more doable Santa?
Merry Christmas big guy. Rest up – a week from now, you’ll have another year under your belt!
**What do YOU want for Christmas this year??**
I hope you get it ALL, lady – Marry Christmas!! xox
I’d be happy with just the house elf… Is that too much?
More realistically, I’m working on better balance, finally. i met some major goals this past year, and built a few new routines, so now to just get a rhythm would be so wonderful, to not be always scrambling to keep just a touch behind, but feel like things were flowing.
That, and please, PLEASE let this be the year that little a stops getting croup and let me not have another stupid cyst this year. that would also be nice.
Okay, I’m getting a little asky too, now. *sigh* Maybe just the house elf?
You can’t get things unless you ask… 😉
