er, 17?

i most defiantly would rather be sleeping right now, but i knew if i went to bed i would have twice as much to write tomorrow. it was daddy's turn last night and before he moved Roxy, he said to me, "i am not making a lot of effort with this elf tonight." and he didn't. Roxy was here this morning:



on top of another christmas tree in our house. its like your dad's sweet spot or something. oh, that and chandeliers. the real bitch of all of this is that it just takes ONE good idea and your dad totally had the high point with fancy mechanic elfin' magic. 

there is a good chance i might not move Roxy tonight because you guys were little jerks today. 

i know i go on and on about how dreamy life is around here most of the time, but the truth of the matter is that some days really just suck. today was one of them, as have been most afternoons with the three of you and your napping, or should i say lack there of. no one wants to nap and when you do, its never at the same time, despite my best efforts to get you all down at the same time. its like some evil, grinchy conspiracy against mommy or something. i plan on doing all of my santa business during nap time but that is pretty effing difficult when everyone is melting down. its the kinda stuff that makes me scream "Jesus take the wheel" while i am slamin' margaritas at lunch. (just kidding about that margarita part, i want to, but then i would be the only one taking the nap!) 

additionally, we have been puppy sitting which solidified the idea that we cannot have another baby anything in this house. i am pretty sure my tubes tied themselves this week. 

alas, i do have a little trick that keeps me looking at our life through rose colored lenses and that is recapping the end of the day with the highlights. after all, you have to go through the valleys to appreciate the summits! today, when you weren't whining, biting each other or telling me no, we rocked around the chirstmas tree to our new favorite christmas tunes. they are obscure and childish, your father was in hopes most of them were offered free from itunes. i think he was a little disappointed to learn that i had paid $1.29 for dominick the italian christmas donkey! but its been really fun to hear you recite the songs and listening to what you think are the words! 

"mommy told me, rump, pa, pum, bum"
"sister susie sittin on a sisle"

two of my favorites from today were while listening to "i want a hippopotamus for christmas" jack looks at me and says, "actually mommy, hippopotamuses are quite dangerous." :)

and then when vivian looked at me and said "mamacita, donde esta santa claus?" 

i should have replied with, santa claus is up at 11pm, drinking some holiday cheer and wrapping all the damn presents, feeling a tad bit ebeneezer because you didn't take a nap today!
