Tales From The Christmas Lamp Post

I am not going to take up much of your time today. I just wanted to let you know I survived Christmas. Although, it was touch and go as to whether my youngest was going to make it, without being sent to a new, more saintly, set of parents. As I mentioned earlier he was sick, he had a nasty fever and cold and he screamed almost non-stop from Friday on. Did you know that if you don't give your children Motrin or Tylenol for their fever, they will sleep more? Which leads to this favorable situation:

More sleep = Less time to scream.

Let's just keep this little secret amongst us, shall we?

I realized just how well our 1st grader can read, when he looked at the box one of his magnet sets came in and exclaimed, "ONLY at Toys 'R Us! Momma, it says, only at Toys 'R Us!! Santa shops at Toys 'R Us.!! I knew it!" Rotten educational system, I tell ya. Now we really have to work to outsmart him next year.

We did see Narnia and I loved it! I was not expecting much, but I really liked it! Oh, I mean the kids really liked it. However, they were a little scared in a couple of parts.

Not much else for the day, since I have been off work since Thursday. Can you say l-a-z-y? My ass certainly can. I have another 4 pounds or so to shed, thanks to a generous lack of will power on my part.

I hope you all had a great time and are recovering from your turkey and sugar comas.
