Title: Anyone else forced outta bed on Christmas???
Post by: chaplain220 on December 25, 2008, 08:56:43 AM
Ya know, the kids can normally sleep till noon if left undisturbed, and thats only cause their stomachs wake em up and turn them into the food zombies.   But Christmas morning, how???!  How do they have unlimited energy at 630am?  Painful when Momma and i were up till 1 trying to make it special for em.  Anyhow i got three little ones starting to make nests in the wrapping paper and zone out, (looks like a paper grenade went off in here...with ribbon shrapnel).  Thought I'd take a minute in the calm to say Merry Christmas, and have a great new year.

Enjoy them while they are little. Once they get big it's hard to round em' all up for anything!

Merry Christmas!  I really miss those days of hidden presents, treats for Santa, and the excitement of ripping into the gifts. Yes, those darn kids tend to grow up way too quickly!

Gigolo, I just took the ktm out for a quick ride through the local GP course, (its the neighborhood next to mine with no houses yet.), Stoppies, wheelies and rear brake slides...its a florida thing, apparently as a resident with a bike, ya gotta be able to do a trick.  The only one I knew when I got here was how to crash in T10 at Summit...and T1 VIR...T2-3 Shenandoah...you get the point.  Good ride though.  Kids have had a fun day and we're all droolin for our Christmas dinner now, and Cowboy, fire for effect bro, bring it on!  Merry Christmas all.

I was referring to the RC8, (insert Dumb and Dumber quote- I lika alaat)  None of the dealers around here have it yet.

Oh and by the way, last month in Chicago has been record cold.  Also over 20" of snow, so I dont wanna hear about Florida weather :banghead:

Barb,

I feel your pain.  It must have have been real hard to break the news to Ed that there really wasn't a Santa Claus.   :wah:      :biggrin:  I hope he took it well.


Merry Christmas to you and Ed and Kevin!

Yeah, and now Ed's been asking questions about the Easter Bunny.  I don't know how I'm going to break the news. Santa was bad enough!
