Twas the night before Christmas Eve
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Saturday Dec 24, 2005And all through the house
the children were sleeping
it was silent, no screams
Everyone all tucked in their beds
with visions of monster wheel trucks stuck in their heads
Everyone but the maid,
thats me.
I in my kitchen
at 12:43
With Law & Order, SUV
on the t.v.
Searching and searching
so hard you see
For that special
family recipe
On to my list
in such a fright
do i have the ingredient
i need this night!
Up all night
baking bread and pies
All exhausted
what a scary sight
And thats the end because my brain went dead.. I’ll be up baking all flipping night. Then again tom night. I need sleep. I’m so sleepy! But pumpkin bread is what dh’s family lives for on Christmas and i’m the only one who can make it.. I’m a damn fine cook if i say so myself.. Its not a hard thing to make.. Very easy..
I hope you all have a wonderfu lwonderful Holiday!
It’s almost over… YAY!

this year i made the best ever deal with the in laws. because we have the new baby, cooking dinner this year would have been a real challenge. Thus, my in laws are cooking it all, and then BRINGING IT TO MY HOUSE! thats right, christmas dinner, delivered! we still get to host it, but i get none of the work. i am not even baking a pie. my life is good.

wow - [impressed look]…….
and I’m dreading just making my Christmas Loaf (bung all ingredients in a bowl, stir, bung in a tin, bake)
Sometimes I wish I could bake - then I read blogs like yours and am glad I can’t!
Merry Christmas Ivy, Michele sent me.
