pick a title, any title.

laying on my floor is one sippy cup, two dirty socks, two bouncy balls and a train.  I suppose the list of things they did pick up is more random than what they left.

my new pan of brownies has a beckham-sized hole in the middle.  he can’t lie his way out of it with chocolate teeth.

corralling children into the bathroom to brush teeth required an appearance from the tickle-monster.  Cooper said we should have a contest to see who is the better tickle-monster, me or Lindsay.  She’d probably win.

I talked to both of my sisters today.  They both made me laugh really hard.  It’s ok to laugh at their unfortunate events, they’ve had plenty of chances to laugh at mine.

Seneca snuck out of bed tonight to come listen to the young women who came caroling.  I was kinda grateful.  Caroling is a little awkward! 

I really should just write a letter to Santa and send it to the North Pole and see what happens.  I mean, he is magic, after all and I’m afraid a few items on my wish list would definitely require magic.

Last night I was asleep before 10:00 p.m. (never happens) and slept the whole night through until 6 a.m. (also never happens).  It was amazing.  It’s startling how much better a mother I am when I am not sleep-deprived.  Seeing as it is 9:59 p.m. right now, that is obviously not happening again tonight, but it sure was lovely.

Yes, it is amazing how much better the whole world looks with a few more hours of sleep. I love that Beckham tried to convince you he wasn't the culprit with a chocolate face. What a cute kid.

so it appears you have TWO food thieves on your hands...

i got about 5 hours of sleep last night. my lungs are in my neck and my back feels like an elephant sat on it. so congratulations to you. perhaps i will enjoy your same bliss in approximately 6 months.

I keep trying to explain the concept of sleep to Syd because it is true, one is a MUCH better mother with sleep than without! Sadly, I think it is Elsie that takes the brunt of my bad parenting...

Yea, yea, yea! It's back, at least most of it anyway!
