Christmas Break

Today is the first day of christmas break. Aka parents loose their freaking minds for the next 10 days. Sweet spongebob help me. School keeps this momma sane. Yes, i hate getting up at 6 am to get the oldest his pill and make sure he's out the door by 7 am to walk to school (don't even roll your eyes at me, its a half mile walk..he's fine) and get the little kids up by 6:45 so they can argue with me about breakfast and getting dressed so we can be at the bus stop at 7:45, but then its sweet silence until 2:45pm when the oldest gets home. See, silence is golden..especially if you have add. its crazy how good it feels on the ears. do not get me wrong..i adore my monsters. what i do not adore is having to entertain them all the time, especially the youngest one. that kid is in perpetual motion. i also do not enjoy noise and that little stinker is phenomenal at creating that. this break, i am fortunate..the hubby's workplace is on shut down and he's off to help me deal with these guys, which will probably create a whole other bunch of issues for me, but i am grateful to have him home. oh, and the second grader came home with a freaking homework packet. yip..he's got homework to do every day over break. SERIOUSLY?? i triple checked and it is in fact a packet full of work sheets that are due the day they return from break. when i was in second grade we were still trying to figure out how to use crayons.

Its also raining here today, and you know, santa can't fly in the rain. the national weather service has us under a wind advisory tonight starting at 7pm..the kids are freaking out because santa is going to have trouble stopping here to drop off the presents. it SHOULD snow at some point over night..i hope this cold front comes thru and at least drops enough white stuff on the ground to cover the mud. i know that when winter eventually hits, its going to be miserable, but come on..its almost 60 degrees here..in DECEMBER.

I'm pretty sure i won't post tomorrow, so from my family to yours, i hope that you have a very merry christmas, happy holidays or whatever you celebrate...if you don't celebrate anything, i hope you have a very happy thursday!
