I Love Cars

Seriously. I love cars. Always have. It started when I turned 16 and my parents let me drive the Cutlass 442. Wow. That thing had some power under the hood. And I quickly learned that it attracted the attention of the boys. Big deal when you're 16. Since then, I've loved having a car that can blow someone's doors off. I like sitting at a red light knowing that I can leave you in the dust. It's just cool. Not girly by any means, but I've never really been the girly type. Don't have a clue about fashion. Never have. Jeff and I discuss things like the collective bargaining agreement over dinner. Weird, I know.

I say all that to explain why today has been a particularly tough day for me...




















Oh yeah baby...welcome to suburbia. I can go 0-60 in 5.3 miles. The only way I'm leaving you in the dust is if you get stuck behind me and you get hit with crunched up Cheerios flying out of the back window. I am SO getting some bumper stickers. My kid is a preschool honor student. My other kid beat up my preschool honor student.

Lord help me.

Ho Ho Ho!

Me: What do you want HoHo to bring you for Christmas?
Haley: Pink Geetar!
Elli: Pwincess House!
Tyler: Far Tuck!!

Oh my goodness, Christmas was crazy at our house!!! Now that the kids are out of their cribs, it was a mad dash to beat them to the tree and videotape their reactions to their gifts from Santa! Jeff almost missed the entire thing!!

We made cookies on Christmas eve and left three for Santa. We told them Rudolph needed a snack too, so we left him a carrot and Haley decided he also needed a strawberry. Nice combo! Jeff told them Santa likes beer and pretzels, but they didn't buy it!

To top off our wonderful Christmas, it SNOWED!!!! It was a day late, so we missed the White Christmas, but we were thrilled nonetheless!!
