“What am I getting for Christmas?!?!?!”

This is the condensed version of how conversations have gone between Glitter Glue Princess and me for the last week…

GGP: “What am I getting for Christmas?”

Me: long pause. “What do you want for Christmas?”

GGP: “Mo-om!!! You’ve been getting boxes from Amazon all week! That piano you got - I want that!”

Me: “No, that is for me.”

GGP: “Let’s open it right now!”

Me: “No. If I open it right now, I’ll have nothing at Christmas.”

GGP: “Pleeeeeease”

Me: “No”

GGP:  “Well, what else came in those boxes anyway?  Where did all those boxes go anyway?  Mo-om!!  I know you got something for me, where is it?”

Me:  “For your information, one of those boxes was for me, and one of those boxes had your cousin’s toy cash register in it”  (Casually failing to mention the other two boxes that arrived, and hoping she wouldn’t notice)

GGP: “So, what am I getting for Christmas? What letter does it start with? Is it a P? Is it a puppy?”

Me: Exasperated silence.

At this rate, something or someone is not going to make it to Christmas….

Happy Birthday to Me-eeee…

Yup, today I’m another year older. Woooo - hooo.

S and the Glitter Glue Princess took me to the Melting Pot last night for a delectable fondue feast. It was heavenly and delightful. It took 2 hours for dinner! Princess and S both had a great time, and would do it again.

Prior to going in, they gave me a gift in the car - a new blown glass ball to put in our back window - it looks more like feathers than like glass. I’ll get around to taking a pic soon. Just lovely.

Today, my assistant at work even remembered! He gave me a big bunch of chocolates. The kiddo and Miss K from next door just came down and serenaded me.

No plans for tonight - S has to work, so the kiddo and I will have the evening alone.

Such a happy day….
