Dear Santa,
When you visit us this year, could you bring something to help me gain the patience I need to deal with my kids non-stop for the next two weeks? I admit I’ve made some dumb moves (agreeing to teach last minute, for one) that have me thinking about all the other things I’m suppose to be doing… which means that I’m frustrated and not focused on being a Mom right now. With Paul still working his 18 jobs around the clock and the house in complete chaos, I’m just not in a good place, you know?  Could you bring something to chill that out a little bit?
Oh, and I’m totally cool with pharmaceuticals, if that’s the way you want to go.
Just looking for that Christmas high,
me

it is hard to get back in the grove of having the kids around all the time!
thanks for playing along!

I recently was introduced to long-acting xanax by my doctor. I am such a happy, agreeable, take the time to teach rather than yell mom. I highly recommend it.

Maybe you could cut the nog with a little something? I love my family, but sometimes they go down better with a little hot-buttered rum, heavy on the rum.
Happy and Merry from Vancouver!

Oof. I hear you.
I had a bit of a panic attack today upon realizing that Phoebe won’t be going back to daycare until January 6th. That’s 2 frickin’ weeks from now. I expect to be pulling out all of my hair over the next few days.
Or maybe I’ll get some valium in my stocking.

Hey Holly and co,
We’d love to see you. And Christmas afternoon, folks are welcome to stop by for some sweets. We’ll be in our jams all day.
love you all.
