My Christmas Carol

My family started a new thing this year: a family Christmas talent show. I was planning on doing a dramatic reading from a scene in A Christmas Carol, but nixed the idea after all the unrelenting mockery and teasing from my sisters. ("Nerd alert!", "that's so Lindsey," etc).
Instead I wrote/performed an original song that pretty much summed up 2015:

"On the 12th day of Christmas my children gave to me:
12 dirty diapers
11 temper tantrums
10 loads of laundry
9 runny noses
8 tiny teeth marks
7 sleepless nights
6 urgent care trips
5 yearrrrs in grad schoooool...
4 timeouts
3 messy meals
2 bottoms spanked
And we're one big happy family!"


And speaking of the family talent show, somebody probably should have screened Corrie's talent.
