Apparently Rejection Makes Me Snarky

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, everyone. I'm tempted to guilt-trip you all and say that I've taken to my bed in a swooning depression because my blog has been viewed 83 times this week, and only ONE of those people saw fit to add a joke to the previous post (thanks, STM). But I won't. Cuz the real reason is that between a baby birthday and general holiday madness, I've just been crazy busy.

Anyway, to prove that I still love you, I invite you to have a laugh (or at least an empathetic sigh) over a stressed-out mom's "letter" to Santa, courtesy of my cousin's blog.

And hopefully inspiration and free time will coincide in my life soon (hey, I can dream), so I can post something of my own before another week goes by.

December is that crazy month where we all wish slow down and appreciate...yet it seems to be full to the brim!

The letter was hilarious...Happy Holidays to all moms out there who are desperately trying to be "super-mom" while simultaneously stretching to remember what really matters!

I didn't have any jokes to add. Sorry. We keep everything simple. We read stories, watch movies, play games, and have hot cocoa. We go over church stories, movies, and games, and then santa ones. We help make baskets for the needy. We go to see the lights. We bake cakes, cookies, brownies, and pie. We just play, play at home, sing songs, dance, and rough house. Just to give you some fun examples.

So funny. I'm actually having a great December in a lot of ways. Not necessarily RELAXING, but lately I've felt very spiritually uplifted. I guess that is as much as I can ever hope for.

PS, How do you figure out how many views you got in a week?

STM, I installed a site meter (visible on the main page, below the archive). You can check it out at www.sitemeter.com.

There are snazzier options (my brother likes Google Analytics, which provides all sorts of interesting stats like what cities viewers are in, though that isn't always accurate), but I just wanted something simple.

Since I didn't get many comments early on, I wanted some confirmation that somebody--ANYBODY--was reading my posts. :)

My blogger self-esteem is no longer quite so fragile (most of the time), but I still keep the meter around for kicks.

I seriously don't know any jokes, so I did what any jokeless girl would do...I googled it. Here is what I got.

Q: How many philosophers does it take to change a lightbulb ?
A: Define "lightbulb".

Kimberly, I can relate to birthday and holiday madness! Scott and Jason's birthday are both on the 9th of this month and between that eventful day and the holiday expectation I have yet to get through a December since Jason was born without pulling my hair out. If anyone is thinking about having a baby in December, DON'T!
