Not Much to Post

So here I sit, having checked everybody's blog. I actually have time to post and I have nothing. Pooh!

I could talk about how utterly lovely my teen daughter is being lately.

She's at THAT stage. You know the one, the "we are out to get her and we treat her so shabbily" stage.

While I know I am not the perfect parent, I don't think I'm the worst in the world either. But she certainly does.

There are days I'm sure that aliens have visited and switched children with me.

I find it hard to believe that I got a fatter belly, saggy breasts and stretch marks only to have to put up with this crap.

We have not decorated yet or put up a tree. This is awful but I don't feel like digging out the decorations this year.

Every January I pack my ornaments up and put them in the storage shed. Every December I go out to get them and they are buried under a ton of $hit.

I am tired of digging them out. I'm tired of undecorating the tree. I'm tired of the whole thing.

I want one of those Adam Sandler remote controls so I can fast forward through this month.

Am I the only Scrooge out there? The rest of you seem so cheery!

Due to the stress of raising a teen and my Christmas angst, I am now mainlining chocolate. That's right. I heat it up in a spoon, load the syringe and put it straight in my veins.

Pity it flows straight to my belly.

But let's not end this "whiny as all get out" post on a sour note.

There are some good things going on too.

SJ has become a talking machine. When we go in the store, all decorated for the season, he points to all the decorations and asks, "What's that?"

Now he points to the trees and says, "Christmas tree."

This kid, who never answers questions, also surprised me in another way.

I said, "You like to open presents, don't you?"

And he laughed and replied, "yeah."

You could have knocked me over with a feather, well if I hadn't been mainlining chocolate you could have.
