I must apologize for my absence. I’ll be back soon…

really.

I promise.

The holidays are still busy being celebrated here in MoMMY’s household.

Tuesday, Tuesday my life will be my own again.

We can hope.

… they are not over.

No, tonight! we celebrate! again! with family!

The good news…
I don’t need to cook a fancy dinner.

On Friday, we celebrate! again! with family!

The good news…
Once again, I’m not cooking. AND, it’s not at my house.

The biggest hit of the holidays so far?
A $1 Scooby Doo Bop Bag.

I should have guessed. (and saved myself a lot of money)

The winner of the ‘who shall be sick for the holidays’ lottery is…

Zachary!

With what?

Strep throat.

And in who is a close second?

Tyler!

With?

Strep throat.

Now if you are wondering why Tyler only placed second, I shall tell you…

Zach had a raging fever Christmas eve. Had to be carried downstairs on Christmas morning and slept through dinner and the family gift exchange. SLEPT. THROUGH. PRESENTS. To be more specific – HIS presents. Even through several attempts at waking him.

Tyler on the other hand was sick since Friday. He missed school but has been acting fine. And he FEELS FINE. Really. He’s fine. FINE. I tell you. Until you look at his nasty throat. And the ugly white patches that match his suffering brother’s so perfectly.

So? Tyler places 2nd for appearing/acting fine.

They both get to take medicine though. EVEN if he is FINE and doesn’t need it. (according to Tyler)

I must squeak in a moment to say Happy Holidays to you all.
(Just for you, you religious Christian zealots! No Merry Christmas from me. HA!)

In fact I shall add…

May your holidays bring peace and harmony to the family and a whole lot of fun!

Now I must recheck Norad for the kids (Santa is in Cairo!) and bake a few more dozen cookies. (approx. 12 doz. down, 5 to go) And, oh yes, rearrange my oldest two’s bedroom. (They have wonderful timing.)

Have a great holiday everyone!
