If I had little elves like Santa…and a Texas Snowman

My Texas Snowman (The limes and lemon came from my own trees!) My friend gave me this idea…I just love it!

I’m not Santa.

I am a mother.

I have children.

Elves and children are not the same.

(As much as I want them to be sometimes…be honest – don’t you?)

I look at my children and almost start crying with how blessed I am to be their Mommy.  I don’t deserve my children. 

I feel like I deserve elves.  (I’m being honest.)

Elves are simply not in my budget.  I looked on ebay. 
I’m kidding…I didn’t really.  I still might.

My biggest task that I would have my ebay elves do would be…

You know, I can’t think of just one thing at the moment.  I can think of several!

• Washing windows inside and out while it is cool outside.  We live in a part of Texas that has 2 seasons, warm and Hot.  Winter does not exist…today on the 29th of December it was 84 degrees and we turned on the a/c.
• They would clean my ceilings.  I know…you might be thinking really?  She doesn’t clean her ceilings…I clean my daily.  Umm…I have no answer for that.
• They would re-cover my couches.  Oh wait…they would make me new leather couches– custom designed. 
• I would have them give me a pedicure daily – the color with be all glittery.
• I do like to work…hard manual work (my fave chore is with a machete but since we live in the city – I don’t get to clear fences anymore)…so I wouldn’t mind a shoulder rub once in awhile.  See – I won’t become lazy – well at least not totally.
• I would have them lick all my Christmas Holiday Cards that are still yet to have gone out.  I know I probably made people mad by saying Holiday cards…but I didn’t make them by Christmas and this gave me freedom to get them by New Year’s Day…hey, I could send them out by Valentine’s Day…see I have freedom.  Except the envelopes still need to be licked and yearly letter still needs to be written.  St. Patrick’s Day is in my vision.

Okay, I have more but it just seems silly to write them. 

I don’t have elves.  I will never have elves.

Mrs. Claus is a lucky lady.
I’m not her.

I’m a mother.

I will teach my children to lick envelopes and maybe make it a game so they will enjoy the process.
We’ll see.

Happy Early St. Patrick’s Day!

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
