santa claus is coming to town

and shes bringing my favorite chubby elf with her.

crazy g-ma & auntie tweece should be leaving the timeshare in vegas any minute, landing on our doorstep in three short hours (which means i should be cleaning instead of blogging). while they're here grandma will be able to take in a dance convention and i'll be able to chip away at my 'when moms in town' list. my eyes will get examined, my eyebrows threaded, and my toes painted by someone other than myself.

grandma doesn't mind my escapades- she practically pushes me out the door. its not that she doesn't enjoy my company (i hope), but she understands what its like to mother a gaggle of kiddos with a husband that's gone too much. something i'd never hoped we'd have in common.

there will still be plenty of together time for trips to the street fair, family walks, and games of uno. the toilets are clean and everyone's excited- we're ready for our crazy grandma.

My favorite line is about the chubby elf. Such a perfect description.

I'm jealous that you're all going to be hanging out together, and I'm going to be here where it's SNOWING.

Yes, snowing in April...
