Christmas..."Taco Bell?"

Ok, so I know I have to address the the Jail, Jail, Jail 5. However, I had to run into town...I know when I say," run into town".

It seems like I live in the boon docks...maybe so. The kids at that time were 4 and almost 3.I am a half hour to Milwaukee, and and hour and 15mins to Chicago. I... now again live in the same sleepy town. That means, that unless you want a REALLY long walk...town is a bit away.

Seeing the Christmas stuff hung up on the light poles, brought back memories. Some good, some bad. I am sure that  I was on the way to the grocery store. I hated the grocery store.Often it was a challenge to go shoppiing. I had two toddlers. They were both in car seats.

There was a time that my children were behaving so badly..that I left the cart and walked out..people applauded.

Anyhow, The "town" trucks were putting up the Christmas decorations on the light poles.

I am sure that I was tired, and a bit cranky. The kids, who, are now 18, and 16...then they were both  in  car seats. They started naming the decorations. "Santa, Angel, Flower...Taco Bell". Clearly a Christmas bell...but so funny at the time.  I so needed the laugh.  I needed the same laugh today...I got it.

Happy Holidays!!!
