I’m currently on the verge of perfecting a recipe for becoming, a slacker Mom. I’m planning on lying low and taking it easy this holiday season, anybody with me? Now that my twins are 12, ha, I figure they can pick up some of the slack where Mommies In Orbit leaves off. Since they get the story about Santa, they can do some of the shopping and wrapping this year. After all they both learned from the master how to swipe a credit card at lighting speed. That leaves more time for me to bake cookies and eat cookies!
I’ll even let them dig out that creepy stalker Elf On The Shelf from the depths of the basement and let them use their i-ma-gi-na-tion to move him (it) around every day. This year my elves will be responsible for untangling the humongous ball of lights, decorating the tree and making sure the house is looking festive and ready for family to visit.
As for dinner…. well my daughter claims she’s a chef and likes to cook, Easy Fries, anyone? PBJ’S always satisfy hunger pangs for my son, what could be easier than that?
Meanwhile Mommies In Orbit can kick back with an ice-cold coca-cola while flipping through that huge stack of neglected magazines…. maybe even head upstairs for a much-needed nap.
