So , last night the family decorated the Christmas tree. The tree had been up for a couple of days, but we hadn't put the ornaments on it yet. Jr asked all through dinner, can we decorate the tree now?; how about now?; Dad are you done eating?, etc. Finally, after finishing dinner, we began the task of decorating the tree. Within two minutes, an ornament was down. I got the broom and the dust pan and started sweeping up the glass pieces. While doing this, ornament two hit the ground. I just relocated and started sweeping some more. Then the vacuum was retrieved and the remaining glass was cleaned up. During this time, the three subjects are putting ornaments on the tree. Prior to starting, I had placed a small three step ladder near the tree. While I was sweeping they were climbing the ladder and putting up ornaments. Never mind the fact that the lower limbs were bare, they had to climb the ladder and put ornaments where the ladder ended. During this time, Jr is making some odd repetitive horn sound non stop. Lu is singing every song she can think of (none of them are Christmas songs by the way) while asking the question "Do you even _____?". You fill in the blank. Apparently, this is the slogan kids in seventh grade are saying. One example is "Do you even lift?" Of course, Lu applied this questions to everything all night in between her singing. Now SuperMom and I are trying to relocate ornaments to even out the tree. Finally, I need to get the big ladder. Nothing good ever happens when I get the big ladder. Now the kids are fighting over whose turn it is to climb the ladder and place the ornaments. Again, they totally ignore the lower areas and place them at the exact location the ladder stops.
That is how the top would look if we didn't rearrange. So I started wondering if it was the decorating they wanted to do, or just climb the ladder. Oh well, we are done but I keep hearing this constant beeping sound like some truck is backing up in my head, and can't stop asking my co-workers "Do you even work?"; "Do you even lunch?". Hopefully, they understand. Tis the season.
PS. I had to give DP more money this morning because the librarian loaned him $3 to finish buying the books he wanted.
