Just call me turbo-momma. Some mom's pride themselves on having their gift shopping done months before Christmas. Others take homemade goodies to the neighbors, and throw festive parties. Me? I took my kiddos to visit Santa
before Thanksgiving. I know! I'm impressed with myself, too. If you know me, you probably know that I have just a slight tendency to put things off until the absolute last minute. Yeah, on Christmas eve, you'll see me frantically cruising
through the store aisles at some giant box retailer of cheap Chinese stuff, high on too much
caffeine and sugar cookies, attempting to decide if my toddler prefers Batman or
Spider man pj's, and then just opting for the jumbo fireworks instead.
So, take that all you plan-ahead,
organizy types. While you are casually sipping cocoa and reading stories on Christmas Eve, I'll be out freezing my
whatsees off, trying to fight off some geezer for the last roll of princess wrapping paper. But, at least I got taking the kids to see St. Nick checked off of the holiday stuff-to-do list, way before it's socially acceptable.
Santa baby, does that mean I made the nice list this year, I wonder?
Happy Holidays!
