[blparent] Santa's Letter....

[Barbara Hammel]

I'd like that doll too.  Paul has just begun not being able to keep his 
hands off Jesse.  He pushes, pulls, hits, kicks and knocks him down.  I'm 
beginning to feel like a broken record and break has just begun.  So if 
Santa could just bring one kid the desire to interact with the other I'd be 
happy for that too.
Barbara

> Dear Santa,
> I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children 
> on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my own doctor, sold 
> sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the 
> school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out -- over 
> several Christmases.

>
>  Since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of 
> a receipt in the laundry room between cycles; and who knows when I'll find 
> any more free time in the next 18 years, so now - -
>
> *** Here are my Christmas wishes ***
>
> * I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (-in any color, except purple, 
> which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze; but 
> are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy aisle in the 
> grocery store.
>
> * I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month 
> of my last pregnancy.
>
> * If you're hauling big-ticket items this year, I'd like fingerprint 
> resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music; a television 
> that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals; and a 
> refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide 
> to talk on the phone.
>
> * On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, 'Yes, 
> Mommy' to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't 
> fight and three pairs of j eans that will zip all the way up without the 
> use of power tools.
>
> * I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting, 'Don't eat in 
> the living room' and 'Take your hands off your brother,' because my voice 
> seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard 
> by the dog.
>
> * If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough 
> time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury 
> of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a 
> Styrofoam container.
>
> *If you don't mind, I could also use a few miracles to brighten the 
> holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a 
> vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely.
>
>
> *It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the 
> house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized 
> crime family.
>
> Well, the buzzer on the dryer is ringing, and my son saw my feet under the 
> laundry room door. I think he wants his red crayon back. Have a safe trip 
> Santa, and remember to leave your wet boots by the door, and come in and 
> dry off, so you don't catch cold. Help yourself to cookies on the table, 
> but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet.
> Yours always with love and appreciation,
> A Mom
> P.S. One more thing . .. You can cancel all my requests, if you can keep 
> my children 'young' enough to believe in Santa.
>
>
> . . . Santa has asked that this gets passed on to all 'moms' if you wish
