I don’t see any reason why Santa can’t fulfill my Christmas list this year. Plus, if he develops the iControl Kids iPhone app I created, I’ll be able to share it with all my friends. Win/Win.
Oh, and speaking of martinis, don’t forget to check out my new site One Martini at a Time.
What (un)reasonable requests do you have for Santa this year?

Yes! Dedicated, guaranteed naptime. The perfect request.
Site looks great!

How could anyone go wrong with dedicated naptime?

I’ll put in a good word for you seeing as I’ve been making regular “calls” to the North Pole for the last few weeks.

Children listening to us?
If ANYONE can give me that, I’m giving THEM a million dollars.
I hope you at least get guaranteed naptime on Saturdays. For your sanity.

I do my best for that naptime. Doesn’t always work though.

I’m curious, is the guaranteed naptime for you or for the kids? Or do I really even have to ask that question?

It’s for all…duh.

If Santa could banish any and all whining (that goes for child, husband, coworkers, siblings, etc.), I would consider my wishlist met and wouldn’t ask for anything else. Until next year, of course.
Amanda recently posted..Where the Heart Is
Fulfilling that request would satisfy me for the year too.

says:
All I want from Santa is to be able to eat endless quantities of cookies, and bread, and pasta and also? cookies. Without blowing up to the size of the house. That really doesn’t seem so unreasonable, does it?
I think it seems reasonable to me, especially considering I’ve been eating cookies for lunch the last few days.
will you just submit that request for the rest of the mums too? don’t forget to mention my name. haha..:)

I am pre-ordering your app! Santa knows you are a super duper good girl
Stasha recently posted..Monday Listicles
Once the app comes out you will be the first one to get it (after me, of course).
I want a hula hoop.

Oh my goodness, yes! Naptime!! I would sell my soul to Santa for that!
Barbara recently posted..Christmas in France
Ha! Maybe after the baby comes you can get some dedicated naptime.
I told my husband I didn’t want or need anything (well,besides photography lessons I am signing up for) and then yesterday while doing some Christmas shopping I promptly bought a jumpsuit, 2 pairs of pants, boots, tights, and 2 pairs of earrings for myself. Merry Christmas to me. Good thing I didn’t want anything!
Marie@feedingfive recently posted..Merry
Good for you! Now you really don’t want anything.

Oh, kids that listen? I can’t imagine! I would love an on-demand nanny. I’m sure I’ve earned it!
Grumpy Grateful Mom recently posted..Silly Chilly Family Tradition
I would agree that you have earned it.

says:
You just can’t go wrong with a committed nap time. It wouldn’t be so bad to go without it if I hadn’t had such a long wonderful period of knowing that my alone time was to be counted on for sure. Ahhh.
Kristy @PampersandPinot recently posted..Meet Me on Monday
Maybe one day we will have dedicated nap time again.
So, the “trust me” at the end? Your face sort of resembled The Grinch for a split second.

Well if nothing else, I’m sure he could get the martinis for you
Amanda Austin recently posted..Home for the Holidays
Or at least more martini glasses. Those are always needed.
I asked for unlimited wine! Sisters!
Nicole at the Boy House recently posted..The very best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear.
Unlimited wine would be nice too!
LOL. I love this! My list for Santa is mostly the same as yours, a) guaranteed nap and bed times, b) a toddler who listens to me (my newborn doesn’t really count), c) a potty trained toddler, and d) a husband who can make 5 star meals. I mean, really. Is this too much to ask?
Jessica recently posted..Night Wakings
I forgot to add potty trained toddler to the list. I need that too.
That’s not unreasonable.
I mean we as moms deserve it right?
I’m talking about the money…because if the whole napping thing doesn’t pan out you can afford a nanny to deal with them.
That’s a Mom Win.
Kimberly recently posted..Got Pepto?
I like the way you think.

I totally hope Santa hears you and makes that app soon. I need it!
If he does I’ll make a big announcement about it.
You devil, you!
Good luck with that list.
I would SO buy the iControlKids app. Heck, I’d buy TWO!

I am SO with you on the dedicated nap time on Saturdays. Please! I might even take one a month if I could get it.
One nap a month would be minimum if weekly can’t happen.
OMG you look soooo evil at the end when you say trust me.
hahaha.

As soon as Santa makes it I’ll start selling them.

I do think Santa should just make you that app and leave it under your tree. What else do his elves have to do right now?

I hope Santa believed me.
That is one awesome Christmas list! I don’t see why Santa won’t grant all of those wishes…especially the kids listening one.

I think that since I’ve been good all year Santa should be nice and fulfill this list. It’s the least he could do.

I need the app. Seriously.

You had me at dedicated nap time. I need nothing else.
Tracy recently posted..Whine Glasses
That would make me a happy mom.
Dedicated naptime is the perfect substitute to diamonds- it’s a woman’s best friend. I hope Santa grants you your wish. I’m not so sure about myself, as I have been more naughty than nice this year
Have a merry Christmas!

Maybe you can make a deal with Santa to be good next year if he grants your wishes this year.
