The 12 Joys of Christmas (Break)

The first part of Christmas (break) that's such a joy to me
Is putting up a prelit tree.

The Second part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Crashing into a Toyota
and putting up a prelit tree

The third part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
and putting up a prelit tree

The fourth part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

The fifth part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
A high of 5 degrees
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

The sixth part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Returning gifts without a receipt
A high of 5 degrees
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

The seventh part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Sliding off the road
This is the line to return?
A high of 5 degrees
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

The eighth part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Rock chip in the windshield
Sliding off the road
I told you it was a gift
A high of 5 degrees
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

The 9th part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Crack in the windshield
But it started as a rock chip
Sliding off the road
In store credit?
A high of 5 degrees
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

The 10th part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Taking the kids sledding
Crack in the windshield
But it started as a rock chip
Sliding off the road
That's all I'd get for it?
A high of 5 degrees
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

The 11th part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Sleeping in 'til 10:30
Taking the kids sledding
Crack in the windshield
But it started as a rock chip
Sliding off the street
I'll regift it next year
A high of 5 degrees
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

The 12th part of Christmas that's such a joy to me
Someone peed in my bed
Sleeping in 'til 10:30
Taking the kids sledding
Crack in the windshield
But it started as a rock chip
Sliding off the street
I know what you're getting next year
A high of 5 degrees
Four bored kids
Watching dysfunctional family
Crashing into a Toyota
And putting up a prelit tree

    Are you telling me I avoided all that by NOT putting up a tree for Christmas?

    That was awesome! Loved it...and returning gifts- urgh! What a pain!! Hate it...they never truly give you back what you the person paid for it. It's a conspiracy!!

    Loved this...good job!

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
