Reason #687 why I deserve the Bad Mom Award.

This is the first year that I have actually put presents under the tree before Christmas morning since the kids have been mobile. When they were babies, it was easy to keep them out of them. But then they had to go and start walking, getting into things, and all that crap. So, the presents had to be hidden. This year, as I wrapped, they went under the tree. And, I have to tell you, its much easier to keep track of who has what this way.

But... It is pure torture to my children... And I don't care. MWAH-AH-AH.

At least once a day, Busy Bee gets under the tree to try to figure out who has which wrapping paper, as I didn't do tags. Each person just has their own wrapping paper and a small initial under a flap in the wrapping, because we all know my fibro fog will kick in and I won't remember who had which paper. And at least twice a day, BB will burst into tears exclaiming, "Mumma, I just CAN'T WAIT until Christmas. Can we PLEASE, pretty please, open them now?"

And, I sit there, and laugh.

If we can't torture our children for our own amusement, what good is it to have kids? You go, girl!
