Mother Christmas

Where art thou?

She is gone.

Gone with the wind.

Done for.

Everything MUST be put away IMMEDIATELY.

Do you get that way?  Or is it just me?

And, not only do I want everything to be put away (magically of course), I want everything cleaned out, thrown out, and reorganized.

Including the Christmas goodies.

I want my skinny self back. 

Seriously.

(Back then, when I was younger, I didn't even appreciate it.)

It's been missing for years and I want it back.

And that means my tiny butt.

I feel like a fat cow.

Pregnant.

With Quadruplets.

And yet, I still had four crunch cups while reading blogs and lying in bed at midnight last night.

Mom, WHY did you send all those treats home with us?  If I need new clothes, you're buying. :o)

P.S. Skinny-Minnie, If you come back, I PROMISE to appreciate you!!!!!!!

HA! I could have written this whole post. I usually am content to wait till after the 1st to take down decorations, but I started two days ago. And this is the first year I've gained weight at the holidays. What the heck is that about???

I feel the same way, but I have another reason why I'm gaining weight so people have been more understanding as to why I want seconds or sometimes thirds on something. As for the decorations, I love mine and want them to stay up. My house is a little empty without them. Especially considering it was our first Christmas with a real tree, a big one, and I've bought probably close to 40 new ornaments and have received a lot of new decorations. I don't want them to go in storage! But it will be nice to have a clean house again and the Christmas stuff out of what will be the baby's room.

I know exactly what you mean. When I look at old pics of myself, I think, 'I was pretty cute,' but I never realized it at the time. Now, I when I ee my reflection, I just think, 'Wow, I look old!' By the way, I just wanted to say that I've always loved that Erma Bombeck quote (at the bottom of your page.)

I feel the exact same way in all areas mentioned.

As I eat a mini butterfinger...

Oh I love you...I was in bed last night with a bag of pretzels and a bowl of ranch dip...If I could only talk to my skinny self once again I would encourage it to live in a bikini because it's never going to look like that again!!!

you are too funny! I miss that too, my skinny self and so did not appreciate my pre 4 babies body! I wouldn't trade my kids for the body back (at least not most days!), but i do wish I would have savored that bikini body a bit more!
