I haven’t started decorating the house for Christmas. Mostly because, I’d have to clean it first, and well honestly, I just don’t feel like it.

Georgia is getting pretty excited about the whole Christmas thing this year. She is always asking me to draw her Santas and Rudolphs. I thought I’d give her a treat and deck out the chalkboard wall with her favorites.

Well, in true Georgia fashion, my Santa’s beard wasn’t big enough, and didn’t I know that his suit is ALL red not black (no concern to the fact I was running out of ‘pink’ chalk). My Rudolph didn’t have any legs (she added about 11 of them later), his eyes aren’t brown they are blue. Combine this with pathetic crying for more ‘icing’ (I was saving it to finish the Gingerbread houses), and I was pretty much ready to SNAP!

I kept having flash backs to high school and the SNL Gumby Christmas. It was titled ‘Merry Christmas Dammit‘.

Merry Christmas Dammit –> the MommyKnows version.

How’s your decorating coming along?

After Georgia put Sunlight dish soap in the fish tank, and KILLED the fish.

I was more than happy to drop her off at school.

She was upset, and has told me several times that, she is, “sorry for killing the fish”. Truthfully, I think that she was more concerned about my anger than the dead fish (I’ve have repeatedly cautioned her to stay out of the fish tank). She did ask me where the fish went (I flushed it while she was doing time out on her bed). Thinking I’d freak her out, I told her, “I’m going to fry it up and make you eat it for supper”. Without missing a beat, she informed me “It’s not enough, I’m a BIG eater”. It’s true … she is a big eater and it was a really small fish (2″).

She’s like Dennis the Menace the female version. Any naughty kids in your life?

I might be ill and could use a little TLC and rest. Unfortunately, Georgia didn’t get the memo.

I took her with me to a Bridal Shower today.

It went really well, except when:

* Georgia started her hair on fire (votif candle on table).
* Georgia decided to take off her skirt and panties in the middle of the venue after jumping in mud puddles, she couldn’t possibly wear a wet skirt.
* Georgia opened the car door as we drove down the highway (going 65 mph or 110 kmh).

Anyway, we’re home now … in one piece. Just a little less hair.
