…In fact, I just asked my Monkey if she could turn the TV back on: “Monkey? Can you please turn the TV on?” And, you know what? I STILL deserve that Mommy of the Year Award. Oh, she just turned it off. And, oh! I wasn’t quick enough, so Josh-O just told her to turn it back on. There, she turned it back on. Project Catwalk, Baby! But, oh dangit she turned it off; or, as the Monkey’s been saying lately, “dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit!” And, the Daddy of the Year Award goes toOOooooOOOooo: Josh-O, dammit!
Yes, it’s a lazy Christmas day here at the O house. We’re watching TV, blogging, eating chips and salsa, and wiping “boogers” off the monkey’s face. The rascal’s rocking in his swing “shnarfing” away (yes, that would be another word I made up for his newborn snorts — poor little dude has MAYJAH congestion all the time)…. At least he sleeps…. For now….
Actually, I’m not eating chips and salsa. The monkey and Josh-O are. They’re eating the whole bag, and I’m just sitting her breathing it in. Sniffff! Mmmm…. Dang post-pregnancy weight-loss initiative!
But, oh! The rascal stirs and shnarfs…. And, the little monkey’s just d iscvovered my “compeeter”…. There IS no relaxing. Kind of like there IS no spoon. There IS no relaxing.
There IS no relaxing for The Mother of the Year.
Sigh.
Rascal wants a booooobie. The monkey told me so: “You go give him a booooobie, Mama!” Sigh, OoooooKaaaayyy….
Hope you’re having a great Christmas Day, Gorgeouses! Thinking of you with MUCH LOVE (and laziness)!

Now you’ve gottin me wanting chips & salsa…only we’re without chips. I guess that’s a good thing. We’re a bit snowed in at the moment. And my batteries were all dead this am so no pictures of the carnage for this year…unless I do post carnage. Hummm
So far it’s been a nice and calm day. Since we shouldn’t be on the roads, we canceled going to Brother’s. I made us a yummy brunch of leftover ham with eggs & homefries. DD ate mostly ham & toast, but DH & I loved it.
DD can’t log in her new webkinz…their site is overloaded today. I have to wonder why they didn’t see this coming, they knew the server wasn’t big enough before Christmas and then they were advertising like crazy to buy new ones… they also told everyone to log in today to get a special suprise. *eyeroll*
Glad you’re havin a good day. Hope the kiddos get better soon.

Lazy days are the best.
Ours wasn’t lazy. we had brunch for my in-laws in the morning. But, then in the afternoon we relaxed. Matt slept (and told us he was ready for a nap!) and we watched skating and did nothing. Well, I watched skating and Oprah not my husband. And, as for food. well, I don’t think Matt had a healthy thing all day, and you know what? That’s what Christmas is about.
Glad you enjoyed the day.

I just wanted to let you know I have been following -and loving- your blog recently and I can relate to EVERYTHING you are going through! I have a son who will turn 2 in Feb. and a new daughter born 09/29. I am trying to lose weight too and totally understand your frustrations.. I had to laugh at your son “shnarfing”, my daughter does it too and we call her “snorkels” for her snorkeling(yes i know that is already a word-no she isnt scuba diving). Good luck wit the dieting. I have lost 31 lbs since my baby was born but still have 20+ to go!!!

Hey itsgrandma left a comment…cool! Sounds like a nice relaxing day. Of course ours wasn’t, but it goes with the territory.

I probably told you this…so I should probably just blog it…but when MY Haley was about 3, I had her in the carseat and we had just come home from the gym. She was having a screaming hissy fit. The car was in the driveway, so I just opened the door and walked away. My husband was there, so he yelled at Haley (joining Josh-O for Father of the Year awards), “Shut up! This is B***SH**.” Haley said, “Shut up is a bad word!” So apparently, B***SH** is OK.
