a letter

Dear Santa,

I know this is a busy time of the year for you,

so I know a way to save you a bit of time on Christmas eve.

you might not have to even stop at my house this year.

you see, my kids have been quite rotten lately.

I asked Sadie to do a quick tidy of the livingroom this morning so that I could vacuum. and she never did.

I asked Ben to sweep the dining room floor. I don't think it has been done for a couple of days. and he didn't.

I asked Jack to pick up his pants and sweater that have been in the livingroom for a day or two. and he didn't.

now, I do some cleaning around here, don't get me wrong,

but we do give our kids a few jobs, and expect them to help out.

but I am getting very little help. sadly.

so, unless they start helping out around here, I am not sure that you need to make a stop here.

I do hope things change, because we will be baking up some yummy cookies, and will have a glass of eggnog ready, in case the kids change their ways.

hoping to see you soon,

Kristi

ps. this kind of makes my house sound like a pigsty.

well, I already swept, and tidied, and will be vacuuming shortly.

just so you know.

and I did clean the bathrooms and do laundry yesterday.

I do do some work around here!
