More Out of Monday with Madeline♥
I’m Madeline – a healthfully humorous, radically ridiculous, momentarily messy broad here to give you a flicker of joy on the (in most cases) worst day of the week
The Monday before Christmas is like…
…licking a cheap envelope; it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Stop pretending that you don’t know what I’m talking about. The lines are long; everyone is cranky; and that loving holiday spirit goes right out the window…at least until the mall closes. Even I’m pushing holiday overload and I’m a big, fool-hearted kid this time of year. It’s down right exhausting. Now, where’s that fairy god mother with the magic dust that makes it all better.
I remember when…
…you could drive down the street and look at all the lights without worrying whether you were getting your brains sucked out. Have you seen those weird, blue LED ones that make you feel like your loosing your mind and your eyesight? I understand conserving energy and all…let’s just not sacrifice our optic nerves to do it! Not COOL! Check out this video.
…children talked about getting dolls, footballs, bikes, and board games, not 5G touch screen cell phones, mind powered spheres, and violent video games realistic enough to turn this girl’s stomach.
…the kids looked forward to Rudolph, Frosty, and Santa. “They’re so gay, Mom,” the little un-PC ingrates say, “we want Transformers, Wizards, and Vampires.”
…I could decorate my entire home (cheaply) with all the beautiful holiday cards. Now, I’m lucky to get a few e-cards that seem to end up in the Spam folder. Don’t they know I’m on a budget!
…moms worried about running out of eggnog and cookies not their Cymbalta and Ambien CR.
Happy Holidays!
