Just call me Scrooge

Although I thoroughly enjoyed being with my family and friends, I am SO OVER the holidays! I will post pictures of the holidays tomorrow but here are the top 10 reasons I am ready to be done with December:

1. Both our cars went in the shop within a week of each other, really tightening the old pursestraps.
2. Neither of my kids are sleeping through the night. Once I get one down the other is awake. Maybe it is because the idea of Santa had them wacked out hyper all month. When the kiddos aren't sleepin ain't nobody sleepin! (Needless to say Aiden woke up while I was writing this post so I had to save it an come back.)
3. Both Aiden and Audrey have had the worst runny noses this month. I am over trying to chase Aiden down to blow his nose. Audrey on the other hand actually likes it but I don't care if I ever blow another nose again! Plus it makes them cough all night, which may be a contributing factor to the not sleeping thing.
4. When I got out my tree this year, about half of the spots where the limbs connect were broken. So our tree looked like poo since there were mostrous gaps everywhere. I wanted to throw up every time I saw that ugly thing.
5. Aiden and Audrey kept taking off the ornaments that were on the tree. Aiden would take ones he liked back to his room and Audrey would just take them off the tree to look at them, tell me "pretty," then lay them back on the tree.
6. I don't get out of school until Friday the 21st this year! What is that about?
7. I volunteered to have Christmas dinner at my house this year so that the kids could play with their new things at home(Ultimately I did't feel like lugging home all their new gear for the third night in a row). That meant that I needed to clean the house amongst all the Christmas maddness and cook the dinner.


Today Travis and I shuttled the kids off and cleaned the heck out of our house, erasing any evidence of the crazy month that has passed. The ghetto tree is waiting to be picked up and I can breathe deeply again.


Here's Aiden again...so I'll leave it at the top 7. Sorry about the complaining but now that it;s out of my system I can appreciate the goodness that is my family and our future.
