Dear Santa Claus,
I realize it's only October, but it's gonna take me at least two months to atone for yesterday's sins, so I thought I'd get a jump start on things.
Listen, Big Guy, there's only so many times a mom can wipe bathwater off of the ceiling before something drastic needs to be done. I figured I could yell and scream and be angry for an hour, or I could come up with a consequence that might make an impact. I just failed to take into account how cold well water in Alaska could be. You and the rest of the state probably heard some blood-curdling screams last night around six thirty. Yeah, that was Riley. My bad.
And yes, St. Nick, it's true. I'm banning my daughter from her favorite blanket. I can't handle the tantrums anymore. The ones that come if someone else touches her blanket. Or looks at her blanket. Or breathes near her blanket. I've had enough. That ugly orange blanket is history, and I refuse to feel guilty about it.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I'll be trying harder in the future to be a patient, loving mom.
Until next time,
Becky

Santa is a saint! As are you.
We all must resort to drastic measures sometimes...
Only 6 hours of daylight? I would wither and die...
ya, the blood curdling screams were heard at my house a couple of days ago.... I really am not found of having a pool for a bathroom.
good thing you're the santa, eh? ;)
I made the list when I totally lost it after the baby took the plug out of the tub for the eight millionth time during his bath last night. Or maybe it was when he squirted toothpaste on the carpet again. Oh, well. I'll have an empty stocking this year fo' sho.
I think Santa keeps a special list for Mommys who have to deal with toddlers. Or teenagers. Or kids at all. Really...he knows patience only goes so far.
I've got good information that Santa does not like naughty kids, but he does like naughty mommies. I think you'll be fine. :)
Yup. I feel ya.
hehehehe
