Dear Santa,
Hey big guy! It’s me, Erin. You’ll be here in a few days and I have yet to send you a letter. This is partly because I’ve been busy, but more so because I’m afraid I don’t have a spot on the ‘Nice’ list. Last year at this time I just had a baby and I was full of crazy hormones, but I’m not sure my excuse this year… Sleepless nights?…Working mom craziness?… Do those count?
The past few weeks paint a pretty vivid snapshot of the year so I’ll be honest and tell you what I’ve been doing (and what I haven’t been doing).
……………….
Here goes:
- Our family went four days in a row without eating vegetables at dinner – Not nice
- I failed to make our bed… for the past 51 weeks – Not Nice
- Makenzie ate a chicken nugget out of the trash can while I was in charge of her. – Gross and Very Not Nice
- I missed my Grandpa’s Birthday – Definitely Not Nice
- I bought Denny chocolate as stocking stuffers and then ate them all within 2 hours. (Sorry honey) – Slightly Naughty
- I went through a yellowish light, crap! – Very naughty
- I snapped at Denny because I was feeling stressed. – Not nice at all.
- I said curse words when my Roomba stopped working. – Naughty.
- I said another curse word when I woke up late. – Naughty, naughty.
- I said curse words when I went through a yellowish (red) light, but I was not with my daughter if that makes up for it. – Naughty, naughty, naughty.
- I forgot to give the cat breakfast. – Meow, not nice.
And
- I lied about my weight when signing up for life insurance. – Not nice but who tells the truth anyway?
I think that’s it (oh wait, I have a dentist appointment Monday morning and I’ll likely lie about flossing regularly).
……………….
Phew. Okay, that’s really it. I’ve officially come clean with my Not Nice-ness. It’s not pretty but it’s the truth. Now, it’s your call as to what list I’m on. If 2013 is the year I end up on the Naughty List, I can accept it, and I’ll definitely try harder next year. If I can squeak by on the Nice list, awesome! And if that’s the case, I would like to request a 12-hour night sleep and perhaps a pedicure. Otherwise, I’m good to go and I have everything a girl could want.
I’m looking forward to a really fun Christmas! Thanks for all your hard work and keep me posted on your answer. I’ll be eagerly waiting and hoping to unwrap a full night’s sleep under the tree.
Love,
Erin
