Bah, Humbug: I let the boys miss the last two days of school before Christmas vacation. (they finished their exams and they never do anything the last two days of each quarter other than busy work). By the second day, I wondered why I thought it would be a good idea to extend their vacation by two days.
Christmas Joy: Discovering that a just turned six-year old can dry dishes.
************************************************************************************
Bah, humbug: Having kids who STILL wake up at 6 am, if not before, even when school is out.
Christmas joy: More time to make them do chores!
*********************************************************************************
Bah, humbug: Opening the boxes of gifts from the in-laws and finding my MIL sent me a set of vacuum cleaner attachments. (oh yes she did)
Christmas joy: Discovering that my eight-year old gets a fanatical enjoyment vacuuming the furniture with those attachments.
(Really, Wally and I had kids for the slave labor and no other reason.)
************************************************************************************
Bah, humbug: Foam, glitter, glue, royal icing, tiny candies all over the floor!
Christmas joy: Watching Payton get so excited about making crafts.
*****************************************************************************
Bah, humbug: Having this stupid Fifth disease virus I caught last week flair up again, the very weekend I scheduled an assload of housecleaning in anticipation of my family coming for Christmas.
Christmas joy: Watching Wally do housework while I rest on the freshly vacuumed couch.
************************************************************************************
Bah, humbug: Last night, Wally told me he was so looking forward to going back to work on Monday because I worked him like a slave too. Poor Wally, he had to wash dishes THREE times on Sunday and dust and clean bathrooms.
Christmas joy: Parker telling me he wants to give daddy toilet paper for Christmas.

Bah, humbug: Purchasing pomegranate martini mix at the liquor store (score!) only to find it tastes like fucking cough syrup when I mix the drink up.
Christmas joy: *blink blink*
I’ve yet to find the joy in that one

Poor Wally. I kind of feel sorry for him…seeing as your not tanked! LOL!
I can feel wally’s pain!
Look at you, always finding the silver lining (except when it comes to ruined drinks, there’s nothing shiny or funny about that EVER).
I totally had kids for the slave labor factor.
I know the point of the mix is to NOT have to mix it yourself, BUT these are divine:
equal parts prosecco, oj and pom juice – mix, pour, enjoy.
It’s perfectly OK to have more prosecco than the other ingredients. (like you need permission) You can also sub champagne for the prosecco (like you need permission)
OR, pomegranate margaritas:
– 1/4 cup pom juice
– 1/3 cup tequila
– 1/8 cup Triple Sec
– 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
– ice cubes
Blend, pour into salt-rimmed glasses – or down your throat, either way is fine.
Christmas joy indeed.
Thans for the cough syrup warning. I was eyeing that stuff myself.
Martini FOUL! That is the worse.
We’ve been drinking a lot of white russians made with the Bailey’s that has a touch of coffee.
Hellzyeah they are yummy!
p.s. the vacuum cleaner attachments….there are no words
Oh girl you crack me up! I love it. Merry Christmas and I hope you feel better soon. The reason kids rock just add up by the day, don’t they?
keep on fighting the good fight–preferably from vacuum-fresh couch.

I had a couple oz of tequila left but no margarita mixer so hubby told me to make it with cola. It was sick and now I have no booze and I am snowed in.
Oh no she di-n’t! Vaccum attachments? Is it too late to regift the pomegranate mix?
MIL strikes again! lol I can’t believe it,that is just way too funny.
As for the pom mix,thanks for the warning,I was wondering how that tasted!
Merry Christmas Heather, hope you feel better soon. And Wally? good man there to clean for you!
And I am so totally regretting not having kids,just think I could have had personal slaves too! go figure! lol
Can I rent yours?(jk)
crossing pomegranate martini mix off the shopping list.
Thanks!
Ho Ho Ho!!!
skip the mix altogether and stick with th vodka if that doesn’t bring ‘ya joy well I don’t know what will
Too funny about the toilet paper. Once I convinced Charity that OE did not want her to buy him toys so that he could play with her, she insisted on socks and underwear.
An easy fix for the drink mix – buy V8 Pomegranate/Blueberry juice. 2 parts juice, 1 part vodka, splash of lime. And it’s all healthy with antioxidants and shit.
this is why the vodka martini is the ONLY martini
It means you aren’t putting enough vodka in it, need to thin it down more.
Oh honey
LOL.
Thank you for the grins and giggle. I love your comparisons.
I hope you feel better, that you tank the Pom mix and get you something real to drink
Merry Christmas sweet Heather. Enjoy your blessings and have some fun.
Cheers!
I gotta be honest, I don’t know the odds of getting pregnant 5+ years after a vasectomy.
What I do know is that it’s possible he FAKED a vasectomy in order to appease you, and then just hoped like hell you’d never find out. In which case, he had an awfully long streak of good luck, and he should definitely buy a Power Ball ticket.
On a happier note, the Bacardi’s Mojito mix simply ROCKS and you don’t have to crush your own mint.
Hope the Hubby got all the tp he deserved…
