12 Days in January

These last 12 days in January, my lovely kids have brought to me:

Twelve loads of laundry!
Eleven sprints to the bathroom
Ten cartoon DVDs
Nine Popsicles
Eight "Lean over the buckets!"
Seven days of crying
Six bedding changes
Five more loads of laundry!
Four feverish foreheads
Three boxes of Kleenex
Two runny noses

and a mommy who is dreaming of Tahiti ...
