[blparent] Santa's Letter....

Fri Dec 26 23:28:13 UTC 2008

I had to laugh yesterday while we were at my mom's house.  My great niece 
and nephew 9 and 11 were hitting on each other and Gab yelled at them.  You 
guys are brother and sister, you're suppose to be nice to each other.  They 
stopped for a second and then continued where they left off. V

>> 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
