Truth be told...

Truth be told, If I Was a Stay at Home Mom, I would actually:
- Stay in my pajamas ALL day
- Eat ridiculous amounts of cookies etc.
- Online shop WAY too much
- NOT clean my house (or at least not very much).

My time is running out... I only have four more days of break and I still have seven closets to clean out, a house full of Christmas decorations to take down, three crafty home projects to do, 150 essays to grade, etc. etc. etc.  Oops.  Maybe I better stick with my day job for now!

Good news?  They are calling for snow this weekend... maybe I'll be blessed with more days to procrastinate.

The Day After Christmas

Twas the day after Christmas, when all through the house
Sounds of "gun fire" rang clear from the basement & my spouse.
The gifts were all unwrapped, paper thrown without a care
In hopes that my new Kindle soon would be there...

While Addy slept, all snug in her new L.L. Bean dog bed
Visions of gourmet dog treats, danced in her head.
Jeff is in his Stormy Cromer, a very goofy looking cap.
And me, just settled down, for a long lazy nap.

... Ok, I planned to go the whole way, but it is just WAY too long...

Hope your Christmas was wonderful!!! We feel totally loved, stuffed, and spoiled!! :)

I'm off to Northern VA for a few days to see family... enjoy the rest of the holiday.
