Dear Santa,
I have to say that all in all, I have been a very good girl this year. At my job, I did the job of many, but my company only had to pay for me. I did all my chores. I cleaned the house, shoveled the walk, did the laundry, made many meals, and brought home the bacon. I did all of my homework, with my two boys, school projects and spelling tests. I put others first, even to my own determent. I was polite to others. I did not throw too much sand in the sand box. You see Santa; I have been very good this year. So here is my Christmas list, I hope it is not too long:
- A job for Paul. It has been nice to have him home, but my wallet is much lighter then it used to be and he is getting bored.
- A good night’s sleep. I would like to be able to sleep in just one day. One day with no little boys screeching at the top of their lungs at 6:30 am. No sound of little feet running above me. Nowhere to be, nothing to do.
- A longer Sunday. No matter how I try to not wait until the last minute, Sunday night comes and I am running around like crazy trying to get ready for the week.
- Health and happiness for my family and friends. It has been a tough year for us all, please make next year a little easier.
- Longer days. It is pretty depressing to get up when it is dark and go home in the dark.
- Lots of Colorado sunshine. Nothing makes my smile bigger.
- More time to relax. There are just too many things to be done and too many places to go.
- A warm January. We all know in Colorado February through March is extra snowy, so a little break in January would be nice.
- As little of the Crazy Colorado wind as possible. Last year it blew off my roof and almost blew me off the road. Please give us as few of 80 MPH gust days as possible.
- Lots of snow, but mostly in the mountains. I love the Colorado snow and I love to play in it, but it can be a major nuisance when you have to drive to work in it. Let it snow, but stay on the ski slopes.
- Faster legs. I know this is a big one, but if you could help me run faster, that would be great.
- Less Itchy skin. The pool in the winter wrecks havoc on my skin, so if you could help it itch a little less that would be great.
- Less crashes. There were a lot of trees and rocks that jumped out in front of me on the bike this year, so a little less next year would be great.
- The ability to eat as many fries and drink as many beers as I want and not gain a pound. MMMM cheese fries.
- A little less attitude from my boys. Please remind them that they are still little boys and they have plenty of teenage years ahead of them for eye rolls and back talk.
- For my husband to love me as much as he loves riding his bike. I always come second on that one.
- A clone to go to work for me and do my chores. Then I can do what I really love. If a clone will not work, a huge trust fund and a maid will do.
Santa I know you may not be able to fit all of these things in your sled, so just one more thing. Please let me have some fun in 2010. That should be an easy one.
Thank you Santa,
Becky
