    one.
    I have officially started my holiday diet.
    With all the yummy baking that goes on in my house,
    and the lack of consistent working out...
    I have managed to gain back most of the weight I lost this past spring.
    soooo, I pulled out the taebo tapes today.
    Billy and I have a pain filled date each morning for the next 4 weeks.
    two.
    The tooth fairy at our house is seriously slacking!
    She even got a note last week for being so forgetful...

    "Dear tooth fairy, I got my tooth out yesterday but you did not come
    so you have to pay me extra. Please send a note back."

    The tooth rates have already gone up since I was a kid,
    the fairy better get on her job because I don't like paying
    more than a dollar for a nasty gross tooth.

    three.
    I am afraid the Christmas light companies have a conspiracy going.
    Because these lights were brand new last year
    and were still working when I pulled them off the tree...
    but last night only half the strands would light up.
    So we are terrible...I am throwing these out and buying new ones...AGAIN.
    We don't want to mess with testing every single light to fix them.
    But if it happens again next year,
    my tree will just have to deal with no lights.

    four.
    I was so excited about my awesomespice new raspberry tights
    that I wore to church yesterday...
    until half way through the service I looked down and saw a
    large run right down the inside of my leg.
    Tights are evil!
    I don't even remember snagging them on anything.
    five.
    There are boxes of decorations everywhere and I am ok with it
    because of the fun and excitement that I see in my kids faces
    as we unpack each one. I can't wait to get it all up this week.

      ugh! taebo. I need it to, which is why you haven't seen me on the baking linkups lately. I can't handle the temptation to taste! LOL

      I loved reading this whole list. Especially the tooth fairy part. I'm not a parent yet, but that is so funny. I'm sorry about your Christmas lights and your tights! What a shame! =[

      Awww I hate when I get a snag in new tights. Bummer! I have boxes all over my house... my husband seems to forget how much Holiday items we have. You will have a great time opening it with the kiddos!

      I am glad that you have revealed the light conspiracy. It happens to me every year. I have finally learned to test them before I actually wrap my tree in them, and then find out sadly later, a strand or two don't work anymore.

      In my world..tights are a one time only piece of clothing. I snag them everytime.

      I am right there with you on the Christmas tree light conspiracy. My family leaves the house when I'm doing the lights. It can get ugly. Especially when I test them before they go on and they all work and then get them on the tree and the middle doesn't light! Grrrrrrrrrr. Sorry. Had a moment. Better save that for the great light fight on Saturday.

      I think your tights are awesome! Yah, holiday baking caught up with me as well so I'm adding ten minutes to each workout to combat it. Oh, and I'm halting the baking!!! And I agree, teeth are gross when you have to grab them from a little bag.
