Sorry gang, but I just vaulted into the stratosphere of parenting.
You can try to top my awesomeness, but it’s unlikely.
It all began last Thursday…
I went to my kid’s concert, but not just any concert:
Oh yes. It was a Christmas concert.
In January.
Originally, the concert was scheduled for mid-December.
It was postponed due to snow.
It’s difficult listening to Christmas songs long after the holiday.
Not many people can tolerate such confusion and angst.
I was up to the task. I’m renowned for my fortitude.
Unless oral surgery is involved.
Pay no heed to these other parents. They didn’t clap as loudly as I did.
I didn’t see one of them wrapping Xmas presents in the auditorium like I did.
I figure why not have Christmas again? It’ll make the concert all the more relevant.
A funny thing happened when the lights dimmed.
It didn’t’ feel like January after all. Rather, it felt like the week before Christmas.
The kids played with Xmas spirit, but I like to think that my loud “Ho Ho Ho-ing” helped.
I must say that I enjoyed myself immensely. This parenting thing is easy.
However, it’s not easy putting up Xmas decorations so soon after Christmas.
Love, the best parent ever.

You are a great parent. I have a hard time getting mentally prepared for Christmas concerts when it’s Christmas time. I love to see my child sing and play instruments and smile but….its a Christmas concert. Just not something I would volunteer to attend if my babies weren’t performing. Anyway…I concur that you should receive the best parent award for today!
Lie on, momma! I felt the Jingle in your jib-jab. Merry January! Did you go out for turkey and cranberry sauce afterwards? …or did you have to settle for month old gingerbread at Starbucks and a peppermint latte?
Postponing it just gave them more time to practice. ; )
And found the Quelf game! Well, my mom found it…in a Colorado Springs Wal-Mart while visiting my CO bro. lol!

I gladly relinquish the title of “best mother ever” to you since I have had to neglect my chicken poxy 11 year-old due to a very ill husband. Oh the quandary I was in. So, you go….girl.
I know this is a little personal but, I just love you. You make me laugh every day and I think you’re a saintly parent for going to a Christmas concert after Christmas. I was so sick of Christmas after Christmas, I think I would have had to forfeit the concert even for my own beloveds.
Hi, I’m new here, and this was the highlight of my night! I will be coming back because you did, indeed, make me laugh:) Thank you. Funny. Hee hee. there I said it. It was funny:)
As last year’s. Best Parent EVer, I wanted to say that I could not have passed it one to a mother deserving mother.
