Dear Santa

Dear Santa,
I have been a good mom all year. I have fed, cleaned and
cuddled my children on demand. I have visited the Doctor`s
office more than my doctor, sold more candy than my dentsist
would recommend to raise money to plant a shade tree on the
school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list over
several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my
son`s red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room
between cycles and who knows when I `ll find anymore free
time in the next 10 years.
Here are my Christmas wishes:
I`d like a pair of legs that don`t ache (in any color except purple,
which I have already) and arms that don`t hurt or flap in the
breeze;but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of
the candy aisle of the supermarket (whilst threatening to tell his
mother about his behaviour when we get home (think about
it...). I`d also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the 7th
month of my last pregnancy. If you are hauling big ticket items
this year I`d like fingerprint resistant windows and a radio that
plays only adult music, oh and a television that doesn`t
broadcast any programs ccontaining talking animals! I`d also
like a fridge that has a secret compartment behind the crisper
where I can hide to talk on the phone. On the practical side, I
could use a talking doll that says"Yes, mommy" to boost my
parental confidence, along with 3 kids that don`t fight and a pair
of jeans that zip all the way up without the use of a power tool. I
could also use a recording of Tibetan Monks chanting"Don`t eat
in the living room" and "take your hands of your brother/s"
because my voice seems to be out of my childrens hearing
range and can only be heard by the dogs. If it`s too late to find
any of these products, I`d settle for enough time to brush my
teeth and comb my hair in the same morning, or the luxury of
eating food warmer than room temperature without it being
served in a styrofoam container. If you don`t mind, I could also
use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the season. Would it
be too much trouble to declare Ketchup a vegetable?Or to
coerce my children to help around the house without
demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized
crime syndicate. Well Santa the buzzer on the dryer is ringing
and my son is demanding his crayon back. Have a safe trip and
remember leave your wet boots by the door and come and dry
yourself off so you don`t catch a cold..just remember to hang up
the wet towel. Help yourself to cookies but don`t eat too many
and don`t drop any crumbs on the carpet.
Merry Christmas
Sarah
P.S. One more thing...you can cancel all of my requests if you
can only keep my children young enought to believe in Santa
forever!

as shallow as it might sound, perhaps winning the lotto might `solve` quite a few problem to some people? Meitzi2006-12-21 11:51:18
Oh and jewelry is nice too.
Man...if I could get something from Santa...what would it be! Sheesh! Ya` know...there are sooo many things I want...
I think if I won the lottery (a BIG one)...that would help! I could get the medical help I needed to truly help make Tylor better instead of just trying to constantly put out the fires that errupt. I could help my mom pay her bills long enough for her to find a job that doesn`t abuse her. I could pay off the bills that continually keep us in the hole so there is less tension in our house over where something is going to come from. I could get cars for me and my husband that are reliable so I don`t have to get up in the wee hours to rescue my stranded husband from the side of the road where his car has died...again. I could get the house put back together and remodeled completely so we aren`t dealing with faulty electricity, bad plumbing, and poor heating...oh yeah...and the roof that is now missing. I could really get the non-profit off the ground and start truly helping people and making a difference in other families lives instead of just hoping someday it will all come around. And I could get that vacation, the honeymoon that my husband and I have never had and have wanted and needed so badly for the last 6 years.
Besides that...ehh...all is good this year! It might sound very selfish...but I would ask for the BIG lottery winning!! Yep! That`s the one for me! Peace on earth and all that is nice too...but how do I know someone else won`t wish for that...wouldn`t want to waste my wish on something someone else is already taking care of!
Winning lotto definitely cannot buy happiness but can help people to achieve goals. Look at Leah`s wish list if she wins the lotto - they are all pratical, solving part of the problem in life.
Man...so true...so totally true!!!
"No one thing is going to change anyone`s life" ~ Richardism
What problems? There are no problems ... just opportunities. I know, I know ... I don`t have three screaming kids hanging on me while trying to operate a business and/or (insert whatever here). Seriously ... problems are nothing but opportunities. I just cringe when I hear the word ... "problem."
Life IS change. If things didn`t change everyday, we`d all be bored. Change creates challenges and challenges create growth and growth is one reason we are here.
The weather changes everyday and we somehow manage to adapt. Life changes ... adapt to it. Make it what you want. Repeat ... WHAT YOU WANT.
I am Santa. You are Santa .... and you, and you, and you and you. Be Santa everyday. Never stop believing in Santa. Santa knows that anything is possible ... if you want it bad enough and you`re good and you do good and you give ... Santa makes it happen
Merry Christmas to all. I wish you all much success in 2007!

Business wise I would request that my profits from each of my websites would increase by 10% everyday.

I hope you all had a wonderful X-mas! I personally did not win the lottery this year for X-mas...BUT...I did get a great new monitor from my hubby which has opened up the space on my desk so I have more room to work and function here in my office space...which means I can focus better on where I am going and what I am doing...and that is kind of like winning the lottery. It has been a rough holiday season this year...but when I look at my son, my husband, my job, my home...it may not have been the BIG win...but I won the lottery...that is for sure. My house isn`t perfect...but it is still a house...my son might be sick a lot...but I couldn`t have asked for a more wonderful and loving child...my husband...well...he is him...and I love him for that...and yeah...even he was a great win...even if he drives me crazy at times. I have my "problems" in life...but from those issues I have built a foundation of love and trust and hopefully...at some point...financial security...and that is all I can ask for this holiday season!
Best to you all...hope your New Year is FANTASTIC!!!
