The Twelve Stuff Ups of Christmas #2

Lazy bloody elves

On the second day of Christmas my life gave to me, a never ending monthly and frequent migraines. Could be the stress…could not be the chocolate, or the cheese or the alcohol. Oh and the simple carbs. Either way the food stuffs are definitely worth the pain.

But oh dear reader I could really use the brain capacity right about now! I don’t know how many of you know this but migraines can be accompanied by what is known as ‘brain fog’ both before, during and days after a migraine. I have ways to manage the pain but nothing for being a fucking idiot.

This time of year always has my self-diagnosed ADHD brain in a tizz at the best of times. There’s just too many plates to keep spinning, and then there are the balls being thrown and the excitement always makes my kids hyper. And then some smart arse thought it would be a good idea to throw some goddamn elves into the mix. Genius!

So while I’m buying end of year presents for teachers and doing Christmas craft and trying to keep my house clean and buy all black clothing for the end of year concert and pay my bills and print off the Christmas list and remember mufti day is Wednesday and it’s a class party and they need special food and blah blah blah etc…These stupid elves need to do something different every time my kids go to sleep.

Not once but twice now I’ve fallen asleep before my kids and the elves haven’t moved. Once they thought they might have touched them, the other time I told them they went to sleep to late. I should have told them they don’t move when you back chat your parents, we wouldn’t have to bother moving them at all. But I’m a sucker so I won’t.

The furthest I will protest is to move the elves just after Mr 6 goes to sleep. Miss 9 is already asking questions and if she catches me…I’ll make it her responsibility to move the cheeky buggars. It’s a shit plan but it might just work.
