Jingle balls, jingle balls.....

For the past couple of weeks we have seen this reindeer blow up in the front lawn of a house that we pass on the walk to school. Perhaps it is just my mind that is in the gutter, but every single time I looked at this, my eyes went right to the berries....

Short lived happy dance.

This morning I was doing the "I'm done my shopping" happy dance. No more malls, no more crowds, no more crap. Well, I just got an e-mail from Amazon.ca, telling me that my items that were supposed to arrive within the next day or two won't be shipped until FEBRUARY. Shit. The dance was short lived. Somehow I should have known this would happen.

What do they DO at school????

Renee has been sick. All month. Between teething, croup, a couple of nasty colds and fevers I am surprised we are both able to function. I KNOW she is functioning because my toothless nine month old is pulling herself up on things and figuring out how to climb stairs. My gummy wonder will be walking before she has teeth.

I don't ever remember the boys being this sick for such a long time. I remember the odd cold and teething pains with the occasional bout of croup, but nothing as bad as poor Renee has had to deal with. This lack of sleep is turning me into one bitchy momma. At least when I had one sick baby I could nap in the afternoon. Now if I fall asleep I am likely to wake up from my slumber with my face decorated with non-toxic marker.

So this has made me wonder why Renee? The only thing that I can come up with is that Ethan and Nicholas spend their time at school licking all their friends and happily sharing the nasties they bring home with their baby sister.

I rock...yeah right.

So much for posting every day for the month of November. I suck. However, this couple rocks - this has been making the rounds on YouTube and Facebook - I wish I'd thought of it first. Enjoy!
