{eighteen days until christmas}

yep, that's right...18 days until Christmas.
me, a.k.a., MOM, well, i have 18 days of complete and utter control of my children
this brings a wide smile to my face
despite waiting hours in long lines to just get Sidney a Hannah Montana bean bag
rummaging around shopko wearing slippers on black Friday at 7:30am and you know
what makes all of these things worth while?
well, it's the fact that i can hold "EVERYTHING" above Sidney and porter's heads.
that simple
and as some of you may already know Sidney is wavering on a fine line and she knows it.
i have been "holding my tongue" in regards to blogging about these matters with Sidney.
within a matter of two weeks Sidney had received three, yes three citations at school.
any way...
Santa knows if the kids have been bad or good.
Sidney knows if she has been good or bed.
and that my friends is what makes this so awesome.
Sidney wants Santa to come.
hilary knows this.
Sidney listens. porter just follows along.
this makes me one happy camper.
