I seem to post a lot about Jeremy. I’d like to say that it’s just ’cause he’s so-darn-cute, but in reality it’s probably because he’s just so-darn-ornery.

I mentioned that we had gone Christmas shopping, and that it was a waste of time……well, we had found a gift or two. I try to wrap the gifts A.S.A.P. so that no one will see them. My kids could find a needle in a haystack, if it was for them and was made of candy. I hadn’t wrapped the gifts yet, it was the middle of the day, but to be honest – Jon had left the bags sitting right out in the open on our bed. Seriously!!!!! That just screams, “Come and look at me little children. Open me! Wreck your Christmas Suprise! Come, Come!!!”

So, Never one to pass up an opportunity, Jer answered the call and saw his new Remote Control Hummer. He was so excited. We told him that we are not giving it to him. Which is true! It’s a gift from my parents! They gave me the money and said, “Go shop for your own kids!” He really doesn’t believe us, and may be terribly sad on Christmas Day when he doesn’t get it. But Boy, will he be excited on Boxing Day!

So, Just to remind the kids(J in particular) that they are NOT to look in our room, just in case “we” are stupid and leave the presents sitting on the bed again – Jon has taped a sign to our door. It looks like this.

J is so excited! He keeps coming up to Jon or I and saying, “I can read. I went to your door and it says ‘no looking’. I can read” Yah sure kid! Whatever makes you happy, and keeps you out of our room.

Can you guess what I’ll be doing as soon as the kids are sleeping tonight. Yup, wrapping presents! So much fun! Not! I’ll be doing it all by myself as Jon has meeting to go to tonight. Somehow I’ve ended up wrapping everything so far this year.

You know what? I am just so happy that we have “anything” to wrap this year. It could have been so different. We could have had nothing to give. I’ll just be happy about “getting” to wrap some presents!

On a side note,
I looked all red and blotchy after my cry-fest last night. I tried to take a picture this morning of the dark circles, and puffy-ness of my eyes, but the photos didn’t show up very well. But, My son had a cry-fest of his own this morning. He takes after me. See………
