To wish your 6 year old was a bit older so you could stay up late together and watch movies and tv shows together instead of sitting up by yourself watching Freaks and Geeks and drinking soda because you're on winter break?
Because I do.
Fast forward to 11:30pm

It's okay. The house is clean enough. The kids are clean enough-ish. Dips can be made anytime as can cookies.
Merry Christmas to all! May your weekend be filled with love and family and friends and kindness.

Colorful items are ones that have been done. Um...none of the productive ones, but time was killed in efforts to shop for groceries and gifts, lines were long. And I get a freebie on the fedex/ups stuff since they just left the stuff on the porch for us.
Forgot to add "Feed kids" which is just as well, since I have only fed Ellie m&ms since we left at 11:30.
AND...for a better Jack to Jack comparison...
Maybe I am nuts...
Oh my god. Why won't I just put away groceries and clean the damn house?!!?!?

OR just make a list and post it and feel like it is a productive thing to do at ELEVEN AM!!! YIKES!
Need to get to work....
THOUGH, our neighbor-cousin brought over some proofs from their 1969 wedding, and this one with my mom, dad, and sister makes me realize why I like Alec Baldwin so much...I may be projecting, but 1969 Jack O'Connor reminds me of 2010 Jack Donaghy.

Things that are amusing me today...
1) Char is "dressed up" in jeans and a cute polka dotted shirt (not sweats and a big tshirt) because a friend is coming over in a bit.
2) The girls both revealed to me how cool it is that Ke$ha sings aboout us in TikTok..."Gonna get a little bit Tibbs-eeee" Love it.

Michael finished breakfast.
Dog got to the plate and scarfed down anything still on there.
Kitten rushed up to get anything that fell from dog's mouth.
Fast forward .8 seconds...
Dog hurls up the breakfast scraps she stole.
Kitten rushed up to start EATING THE HURL.
Thankfully, Michael was quick to rush up with a paper towel to clean up, because I was doubled over on the sofa laughing in disgust.
