My Christmas Wish List



Dear Santa:

Just one year I would like to celebrate the Holidays without a trial in sight. For the umpteenth year in a row, I am prepping not for one but for three major trials all set to go around and before the holidays. Sandwiching Thanksgiving between back to back trials is always fun, but to put one a mere ten days before Christmas is down right cruel. During this time Santa, I am unable to watch my weight because I have an insatiable urge to eat pasta constantly; I am unable to sleep because I dream of new questions to ask the litigants on the stand and I am unable to finish my Christmas shopping because for some reason the Sears online site has inexplicable problems and won't allow me to sign in.

Santa maybe this year, you could bring me a look alike double who can step in for me at all the double bookings my children have arranged for me this year. As class mom I haven't even thought of the Christmas party I will need to attend and plan for my daughter. I have four teacher conferences to attend this week provided the judge allows me the afternoon off to meet with them. Can I also ask for a chauffeur to cart my children around to all of their events so I no longer have to write my blog entries at two am when they are all asleep.

Oh yeah, and Santa, a personal chef would work for me also. One who could cook more than pasta so that I could actually watch my weight instead of trying constantly to whip up a fast meal for my family and juggle all these other things in the air.

Finally, as long as I am on a roll here...how about a year filled with healthy happy family time..nice memories and at some point if it isn't asking too much a good book and an ultimate pina colada.
