Not the White Christmas I had hoped for...

Last night was our Mom's Only Christmas party, which was a lot more fun than the Children's Christmas Party last week. There were no appearances by Santa, that's for sure. (Already an improvement...)

This afternoon, I was busy making appetizers to bring to the party. I had a stuffed pork roast in the oven and potatoes for mashing on the stove... because you better believe that Hubby comes home to a delicious dinner every night.

Yes, even on the evenings when I'm going out and Hubby and Son are staying in. (SAHMmy would be proud, wouldn't she?)

I was glowing in my rarefied domesticity when I realized that my son had seemed awfully busy (quiet) for much longer than usual. It was because he had poured out his sippy cup and was splashing in a puddle of milk behind the sofa...

Yeah, you can say it was a well-deserved night out, but then again... Aren't they all?

I'm starting to learn about the silence. Its a double edged sword!

That happens here all the time (the kiddy destruction silence not the domestic goddess) today was toothpaste. Not the usual smearing substance. Yesterday it was chocolate from his sisters Advent calendar....

As nap warden said beware the silence.

Silence = Trouble! Always. And if you made SAHMmy proud, you've arrived.
