I know that you normally get letters from small children and deliver special gifts to those younger than, ummm let’s just say 10 years of age. However we all have special wishes and here are mine:
1. Less tantrums and anger - Mine, the kids, and their fathers.
2. Confidence - The kind that make me feel that the decisions I have made for my children are going to be ok for them.
3. An extra set of arms- To be able to be able to hold the many hands and items they bring along (toys, blankies, binkies etc...)
4. Serenity –Just like the prayer says:
grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
5. Energy – You’ve met my kids at the mall, you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about here.
6. A nanny- For the kids AND my mom.
7. Mommy days – The kind in which the kid’s dad will actually take them for a weekend so that I can come back and be a better rested single mom.
8. More cancer free days – For my Mami. She really wants to get to watch the kids grew up and go to school.
9. A new larger car- I know, I know its way overdue, just can’t seem to get to this lately. Help me out here.
10. Barbie head – I asked for this when I was 7 or so and my dad wouldn’t have you bring it because it was too grown up to play with make-up and hair and stuff. I think I’m grown a little. It doesn’t hurt to ask a second time around. :)
Thank you for all you do for my kids. Thank you for listening to me. I understand if you can’t get all the things on my list. Just a few would make me one happy camper. I will leave some cookies and a triple shot Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks. Hot Cocoa is just not going to cut it on Christmas day with all your deliveries.
Love,
Dooritos
Mommy of Things One and Two.
