Notes to self:
1. Do not start making cookies with tired children at 7 p.m. and expect the process to go smoothly. The flour on the floor is your fault.
2. Do not give an almost 2-year-old a cup with no lid to drink out of while sitting on your bed on your side and expect the bed to stay dry. Do not get upset when you have to change the sheets.
3. Perhaps three days before Christmas is not the time to buckle down on how much TV the kids watch. At least you could have saved 30 minutes for dinner preparation. That would have saved a lot of screaming.
4. If the neighbors give you their old dollhouse three days before Christmas, put it away until after Christmas. That said, even though she won't care about her Christmas presents, at least Ellie was entertained for the bulk of the day.
5. Do not get upset when your husband calls from the mall three days before Christmas to ask you what you want. Remember that he is a man, just a man. A man with no memory who had a long day. (A drill, BTW. Seriously, I want a drill. Something cordless I could hang drywall with if I so chose.) At least he was not shopping on Christmas Eve.
6. If it's midnight and you are blogging instead of finishing the cookies or the dishes, well, you have issues.

haha, love this! thanks for your nice compliment over at my blog - simon's outfit was on sale at gymboree for $9 - gotta love that! :)
Man, you crack me up! Yeah, mine ordered mine the Friday before Christmas, as was told it wouldn't arrive before Christmas (duh...). Shockingly, it came in time.
Still...isn't Christmas always the 25th? (okay, in guilted fairness, these guys travel a bit, so maybe that has something to do with it...or am I just trying to make myself feel better?) :)
