Six Things Before Six Days Before Christmas

1) My kids are on Christmas crack and what with the predicted snow storm, it's another half day tomorrow: awesome. It's not like I have anything to do. 

2) My sisters are in the full season of their awesome bitchiness (as in: making fun of cousins' pictures in seasonal cards and such). I know it doesn't seem falalala, but all I want is to see the pictures they speak of and I wonder why I haven't received them.

3) The Kid is coming home late tonight, and what with jet lag and overnight shoots, he will spend the rest of the day in bed tomorrow. I have tried to clean and organize and by that I mean: I emailed my friend for a few hours and decided, whatever. I feel bad about that now. I did put clean sheets on the bed, but there is no way I will be able to keep those desperate for their Daddy kids away from him. 

It's gonna be like offering up candy by a string strung from the moon. 

4) Santa has wrapped his big old ape arms around me. There is nothing bitchy I can say.

5) Please refer to number four.

6) But then again.... Oh, I kid. 

What I got is this: there is a kind of magic in words that you who read this know. But there is sometimes something that transcends words and makes tiny moments realer than you ever thought they might be. My virtual gift to you? 

FIND THOSE.
