Novem... what? December... Already?

Okay, so where did November go? and what happened to Thanksgiving dinner? There wasn't even a rush at the airport! At least not here in Portland. Actually, Thanksgiving was very pleasant and the meal was delicious.
Well anyhow, I have been creatively trying to figure out how to get the kids excited about the next season at hand. I have resorted to hiding envelopes with small increments of money they can use to buy Christmas presents with or gain another surprise. The trick is they have to pick up and clean the area's they've been avoiding but nagged about a thousand times before. So I was sent this link and thought that you might enjoy the humor of this too.

The lyrics are at the bottom.

Now I hope this works as I've never done this before.
I am happy to report that to date, Bookworm has a renewed sense of self and is keeping up with her homework. Roadrunner, seems a little more demanding and cranky, but he has given up naps. Noodle, proudly shows all her work to me when she gets home and Pixie is being the biggest of big cuddle bugs.

I have also heard that there is the four letter taboo weather word in the forcast later this week. I hate this for two reasons. One is my accident involving the freezing rain and quick conditions two years ago and the havoc it wreaks at the airport! uughh!
That word is S N O W.
Anyways, the presents and shopping are nearly all collected and wrapped. And I learned I'm going to have a two week break the same time as the kids from my College! This is a relief. I think.

Take care, until next time.

Lyrics for "The Mom Song" is given below. (Thank you BelleFlower15!)"The Mom Song"Get up nowGet up nowGet up out of bedWash your faceBrush your teethComb your sleepyheadHere's your clothes and your shoesHear the words I saidGet up now! Get up and make your bedAre you hot? Are you cold?Are you wearing that?Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hatDon't forget! You gotta feed the catEat your breakfast, the experts tell us it's the most important meal of allTake your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tallPlease remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at 3 todayDon't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must playDon't shovelChew slowlyBut hurryThe bus is hereBe carefulCome back hereDid you wash behind your ears?Play outside, don't play rough, will you just play fair?Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to shareWork it out, wait your turn, never take a dareGet along! Don't make me come down thereClean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff awayMake your bed, do it now, do we have all day?Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay?Can you even hear a word I say?Answer the phone! Get off the phone!Don't sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the tableNo more computer time tonight!Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen upWhere are you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?Saying thank you, please, excuse me makes you welcome everywhere you roamYou'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grownCan't wait till you have a couple little children of your ownYou'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willinglyBut right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at meClose your mouth when you chew, would appreciateTake a bite maybe two of the stuff you hateUse your fork, do not burp or I'll set you straightEat the food I put upon your plateGet an A, get the door, don't get smart with meGet a grip, get in here, I'll count to threeGet a job, get a life, get a PHDGet a dose of,"I don't care who started it!You're grounded until you're 36"Get your story straight and tell the truth for once, for heaven's sakeAnd if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump, too?If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times beforeThat you're too old to act this wayIt must be your father's DNALook at me when I am talkingStand up straighter when you walkA place for everything and everything must be in placeStop crying or I'll give you something real to cry aboutOh!Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs onGet in bed, get up here, say a prayer with momDon't forget, I love youAnd tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never endsYou don't need the reason whyBecause, because, because, becauseI said so, I said so, I said so, I said soI'm the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom!!Ta da!!!
