Ma Ma Jacquie's Blah Blah Blog

Ah, the day after Christmas. For parents of little ones, it's time to detox and reprogram the kids. All the attention, presents and crappy food takes it's toll as you wake up the next morning. "What's to unwrap today? Where's the candy? Why do I have to take a nap? Why, just yesterday, every whim was catered to by Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles and Cousins. How come today is different?" Not to mention the shakes from instant sugar withdrawals. It makes for a great day of family togetherness, especially since Mommy and Daddy are wiped out from all the holiday hype.

And what are the old folks doing who showered the kids with silly gifts and shoved all that junk food down their throats? Sleeping in! Yep, it's great to be on the other side.

So. Anyway. I was saying that I really like this song, "Mary Did You Know?". I think it's cool to ponder the fact that He, Jesus, was a real baby, and a real little boy, and a real young man, but all the time, really God! And he still is.

It would have made parenting alot less complicated if I could have had a video of His life as a child. Then I could have easily discerned between "innocent kid stuff" and "fallen nature" stuff. Hope I didn't choose the wrong one too many times.

How'd you like it?

Getting to work and finding that everyone in your office chose to wear blue today. Is that Ironic?

The bartender sending his customers off at closing time with the admonition, "Don't drink and drive." Is that Ironic?
