- Why did my laundry increase so much with the addition of one child? I swear, we can't go one day without doing several loads lest we be buried by it.
- How on earth does one family consume an entire Costco bag of chicken nuggets in a month? That is way too many chicken nuggets for a certain small child.
- How exactly do children grow overnight? I just bought Ellie pants, and they are too short already.
- Why, when it is freaking cold out, do doggies feel the need to potty 18 times a day, when normally they would not feel this need?
- Where are all my scrunchies? Found them-tied around Ellie's bed posts.
- Exactly how do I get the melted crayon out of my cupholder in my car? Its very stubborn.
- When did I get so very boring? This very thought crossed my mind as I wrapped a mountain of toys in tinkerbell paper last night. Good grief, many of my own aged folks still hang out in westport. I've never even been to westport.
- Should I be worried that my daughter says "Target is my favorite store ever!"?
- Why, why, why, do people feel the need to touch my children with their nasty, grimy hands? Come on people, get a grip. Strangers, no touchy, non-strangers, learn to use soap and water.
- How do you teach children to be kind and giving when the world around them is hard and selfish? I'm really having trouble with this since daddy isn't the whole goodwill and service type. I truly believe its not what you give them, but how you raise them. And my mother raised me to give to others. I remember my family adopting a family for christmas one year. I'm sure we couldn't afford that, but we did it anyways. I want my girls to see that side of life to appreciate what they do have.
- Will my family ever go to church with me? Or am I destined to fight them forever?
- Why didn't I get my date on December first, hmmmmm?
- Why does the world feel the need to ask us when we will start trying for a boy? Seriously, do you really want to know that information. Don't you all know what trying means? Is it any of their business? Really, should be discussing this with the target lady? Well, as a matter of fact, I was thinking next thursday sounded good. Maybe I'll try it just once and see...
- And finally, will I ever be able to convince my daughter that the Angel of the Lord is not a christmas fairy who brings presents to Jesus in his hotel, and she does not take the Holy Family to Disney World????

Have You Ever Wondered...
I have some questions in my life that have been unanswered recently. For example...

so funny jill - i just love your posts - and westport isn't all its cracked up to be - bunch of too tight jeans and low cut trendy shirts on too young girls being hit on by too old men.
Oh I love you. You make me smile. :) Question- do the doggies have UTIs? Lucy does that when she has one- and what do you know... she's got one! Ooh... you don't have a fence... you have to stand in the door... ick...
ps. How is my girlfriend? I'm sad we won't get to play tomorrow. Parker
This post made me laugh! I can't wait to have little ones around Christmas! Target ladies...we have fondly nicknamed one "Didja check your eggs?" and the other we call "Is that for me?" based on the dumb things we've been asked by them. Yours tops the list... Merry Christmas to your and your family! We loved the Christmas card!
This is great.. how I miss you!! And completely understand on the dog thing... mine seems to want out a million times - always when I am sitting down feeding the baby! And the Target thing - I never realized how many strangers think it is okay to touch him or get in his face...
oh, jill. you do make me smile. westport is yuck-o. going there will only make you feel so much older than you really are. now, i have heard that the power and light district is fun, maybe you should head there on your date. and, yes, ellie, target IS the best store in the world! we, too, adopted families in our family when I was younger. your children will learn everything good, and generous and giving because they have you as a mom, not because you didn't adopt a family as a family. we usually let the kids adopt a kid a piece from wal-mart and try to go from there. and think about it, the whole christmas thing is a lot to wrap your head around when you are little, maybe she's just trying to think of it in terms that she is more familiar with. either way, it's stinking cute!
