Dear Santa...

I've been extra nice this year. You think you can help a poor mother out and give her the Christmas of her dreams? Please Santa???? I only want...

*A full nights rest. My 7 month old son to finally start sleeping through the night. He had done it for about one week back when he was 5 months old. Can we try that again and make it stick this go round?

*My 4 year old daughter to stop her whiney tantrums! I can't take anymore of them! I keep using you as a threat to her, but it's not working. Help a mother out here Santa!!!

*I never..................in a million, trillion, zillion years thought that these words would EVER come out of my mouth, but Santa I think I want a minivan. Yep you heard that right people.....a minivan. I always see these parents at the daycare getting their children in and out of their vans with such ease while I'm struggling in my car to get both of the kids out with Ashlyn's PILE of toys in the backseat. If I do get one I like the look of the Nissan Quest. The reason I like the minivan also is the automatic door open feature. How great would that be to push a button and the door opens right up?

*Healthy children. My kids have been passing germs back and forth for the past couple of weeks. The doctors are practically living off of all of our doctors visits! Stomach bugs, Coughs, Colds, Rashes, Fevers, Flu Shots, Check ups. I'm sick and tired of going to the doctor. It's a big circle of germs. You go to the doctor for one thing and then you come back home with another illness. Arrggghhhh!
