Merry Merry
December 25, 2007
Today I draw strength from the smiling face that awoke me this morning with peals of “Mommy! Wake up! It’s Christmas! Santa came! He was here! Mommy … wake up!” You see … the Mafia, MafiaMom, MafiaBro, Nick Claus and Nancy Claus were up too late drinking chocolatinis, opening gifts and debating the effects of nature v. nurture on mini-men, so I was a little zonked out during my 6am wake-up call. Thankfully I got my big morning snuggle before being dragged into the living room to assess the booty. Booty indeed. MafiaMom, likely sensing that this year needed some extra bling, certainly did her grandmotherly best in spoiling the lad. And she spoiled me too. I lost the sewing machine in the divorce, but MafiaMom made right in my world by asking Santa to bring me a new one. He did, and I can’t wait to play with it. After a full day of *playing, being overwhelmed, acting like a punk, redeeming himself with snuggles (repeat from *), Little Man crashed early. MafiaMom — where’d you put that Godiva liqueur? I have a date with Ms. Singer.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
[this is the part where i resist the temptation to make an inappropriate and offensive joke about what kind of "ho, ho, ho" i'd like to hear outside my window tonight ... i know ... sighs and eye rolls across the land, but who can resist a terrible pun, even on christmas?]

It is smart to be born to a good mother. Seems as if Little Man and FKM both managed to do so.

Happy Holidays! Enjoy Ms. Singer.
I want you to know that I have drawn strength from your posts over the last few months. I’m going through a similar situation, though my partner and I have agreed to ‘try’ whatever that is. I must say, though, that the ‘trying’ gets harder instead of easier as the fear turns into anger and the devastation turns into anger and the hurt turns into anger. Oy.
So, 2008 will be a year of having intention. My therapist has been hammering me with this and it finally made sense as I read your post and some of the links.
Thank you.

Merry merry! I’m glad to hear that moms are doing their jobs over there in MafiaLand! And, if you can’t laugh at the Christmas ho’s, then isn’t all lost?

Awww…happy Christmas to you and yours! Nothing like a kid to bring the fun and excitement to Christmas no matter how tired you are. And Yay MafiaMom for the little extra spoiling - you guys deserve it. I hope it’s the first of many, many wonderful Christmases in your new digs.
HoHoHo.

I got a sewing machine too! Mine probably isn’t as nice, but I am pleased none the less. Sounds like you had a great Christmas!

I want you to know that I laughed pretty loud at the pun you didn’t make.
Merry Christmas! So glad there were drinks and great presents and snuggles to be enjoyed and shared. All the best to you all!!

Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all. Spiked eggnog did us in….thank goodness Trouble and Munchkin are semi-adults and we all slept in until 9:00AM.
I can’t wait to see pictures of the loot and the new Singer!
Stay warm and safe! Happy Holidays to both of you!
