It’s beginning to look a lot like…mid-winter. You know, that
dreadful time of year when the weather is gross, we’re getting back into the
tedium of work life after glorious holiday breaks and the kids have somehow
managed to lose interest in those toys that Santa just had to bring. You’ve been there.
Immersed in the monotony of the season and still having to
deal with entertaining little ones can get tiring. Often, I’m so annoyed that
the Christmas gifts have already worn out their welcome I get tempted to ship my
children off somewhere in frustration. Let them tell some other family how
bored they are with their Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Baby Alive Elmo Transformer (work with me here). Seriously, satisfying those mini monsters with something that will pique
their interest and allow them a little creativity for the long haul can be
rough.
Interestingly though, right around the time when I
started wishing for the kids’ one-way tickets to Timbuktu to appear, I received
another option (one that wouldn’t land me on DCFS’ Most Wanted list).
