The inmates are LOOSE!

and I've lost the flippin key!

OMG.....Christmas break from school has begun...officially at 11:45 a.m. today. ACK...someone please hold me or hug me or give me a cookie. Wait no cookie...10 pounds down...20 to go.

In a nutshell..."Katie bar the Doors!!"

And really...barring the door...it's not enough. Uhm let's see....Les Miz...barricades...yes barricades are good. Oh wait and trap doors ...yes, yes, yes Pirates of the Caribbean...and wait...wait, what else...brilliant...passwords, floating staircases, Harry Potter...GOOOOOOOOOOD..., oh wait, not so good, they read HP religiously...thinking...thinking...thinking. CRAP...they're ALREADY smarter than ME!

And so it begins.

I picked them up at 12pm....carpool line sambas to it's own beat.

The dynamic duo hops in the car and immediately BamBam announces he needs his ear cleaned out and I haven't been doing my "mommy duty" during shower time for the past few days .......cause they hurt.

Crap. (Crap...crap...crap....pediatrician's office...Christmas break....CRAP!)

Followed by

Bicker...bicker....bicker....all the way home.

Shove them upstairs to get changed, clean out EVERYONES ears ( oh yeah...like THAT'S going to help!!!) and try to get them in the car to go the grocery store.

Time to kick it into another gear.

Bang, CRASH........ shuddddddddddder...thump....WAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

Mommmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee............Thumper is cho (ack gag gasp) king me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me having 9 years of BamBam under my belt immediatelly meet his thrust with a shrill parry of

Well...............WHAT did you do to him???

Oh I just kind of ACCIDENTLY kicked him (repeatedly, Mommy adds for edification)

Well then...I guess you deserved to be choked.

Then Thumper adds for good measure....Mommy...you should call Santa...NOW. Right NOW! On the super secret Santa Cell phone number Daddy has on his phone and tell him. Tell him....Bambam shouldn't get ANTYTHING for Christmas!!!!!!!!!

CRAP

Forget the advent calendar.
