Holiday Poems




'Twas the day before Christmas and all through the house

Gina was running around thinking, my god, haven't I finished it all yet?

The baking couldn't be done for a new garbage disposal we had to get

and install, which took pretty much all day.

When they finished, I looked at the clock I said to myself, "No way!"

I haven't got time to even start what I need to do.

So then Gina said to everyone, "Well, it looks like no cookies for you!"


And that, my friends, is why I don't write poetry more often.

I love you all.

I wish you a happy, joyful, and merry Christmas indeed!

Merry Chistmas, Gina! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.

I've really enjoyed reading your blog over the past few months - and hope there'll be lots more to read in the new year (with or without poetry).

Gina -

From my family to you and yours - we wish you a very, very Merry Christmas. I hope the day brings you lots of love, laughter, joy and memories for a lifetime.

I am so tickled that I "found" a new bloggy friend.

Hugs -

Happy holidays to you to! I didn't get everything done either, but hopefully we will still have a great Xmas cookies or not.( I had to buy oreo cookies from the machine at work tonight for Santa because I made cream puffs for tomorrow but my daughter insists that Santa only eats cookies!)

It's ALMOST OVER!!!

Seriously though, I hope you and your family are having a wonderful Christmas celebration, even though it is sans cookies. (What will you leave for Santa?)

Merry Christmas!

A belated Merry Christmas and a very current Happy New Year to you Gina and your family. I've so enjoyed your blogging more than any gift I have or could receive.
I've been busy attending to sick people, buying more than I should have, and drama...always drama! It makes the merry more merrier...right? Yes, I thought so.
Good luck to you in 2008! Oy, I cringe when I see it written. ;)

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
