Dear Santa,

I know it’s been a while… maybe 26 years to be exact (since I can’t quite recall the last time I wrote you a letter).

It’s been an interesting year, to say the least, full of changes. I’m becoming comfortable in my role as a Stay-At-Home Mom and I have a few requests. I think, since you watch us all of the time, that you know that I’ve been nice this year. So I hope you’ll look out for me. Alright, I hope you’re sitting down, ’cause here we go:

1. I’d like a Dyson. (Don’t act like you didn’t know this one was coming). Not just any Dyson Santa. I’m talking about the DC25 Animal Vacuum Cleaner. Everyone knows that besides living in the desert, I have a 65 pound lap dog who leaves our carpet smelling like crap and sheds- therefore making the desert dust bunnies bigger than they need to be. Ugh.
2. This may seem a bit lavish for you Santa, but you know all of the things that Stay-At-Home Mommies have to do… If you could get me a gadget to sweep my floors for me, that’d be great. How ’bout this one? The iRobot Dirt Dog. I think that would do the trick. That would take one thing off of my to-do list for the day. I promise I’ll take care of it and clean out the canister often.
3. Speaking of things that would make a Stay-At-Home Mommas life easier, how about a single-cup coffee brewer. You know what Santa, this should actually be number one. I. Need. Coffee. I don’t think I’m alone out there. I would probably get a whole chorus of ‘Amens’ on that statement. Especially from Stay-At-Home Mommas. Cadence is some type of Energizer bunny, so when she wakes up in the morning, she is ready to go for the day. Me… not so much. So you would really be looking out for me if you dropped one of these down my chimney. Now, there’s a lot of competition out there in the single-cup coffee maker world and I’m a little confused. But, you’re Santa, so holla at your Elves and find out which is the best- because that’s the one I want. Tassimo makes a single-cup coffee brewer that I heard was pretty sweet and Keurig makes one too. (Just in case you needed me to point you in the right direction) I hate that I either make too much coffee in the morning or not enough and need to make another pot. This way I can make the cups on an as-needed basis. And lest you think that I am selfish, this machine would serve multiple purposes because my husband likes tea and hot chocolate- so I could make him a warm drink on a cold day too.
4. Now, I know that I am a renter, but for goodness sakes Santa- can you bring me a dishwasher that actually works? I’m not the only person in the world with this problem. I’ve spoken to many-a people who have a dishwasher that leaves food on the dishes when the cycle is “done.” This is why I just gave up and I just wash the dishes by hand. But if you brought me a top of the line one, I wouldn’t have to do that. K? Thanx.For my Stay-At-Home Moms out there in Cyberspace, I have a few requests as well Santa:

1. A Shark Steam Pocket Mop. I have one, so I know the joys of owning such a wondrous piece of
machinery. Every Stay-At-Home Mom, scratch that,  Every Mom should have one of these. So,
make it happen. Please.

2. A good night’s sleep. Just once. Err, well more than once, but I don’t want to push it. Maybe
you could just send Ambien sliding down every Mama’s chimney, on the fire escape and
under the front door- that’d be great.
3. Some time alone. Seriously Santa. Being a Momma is hard work. A day at the Spa would be
great too!

4. A good book. Oh and time to actually read it.

5. An endless supply of Barefoot Wine. (Or that Momma’s drink of choice)

6. A Slowcooker. So that the Mommas out there can let dinner cook itself for once.

7. Twitter friends who don’t judge, belittle or bicker- this isn’t Elementary School folks. (She
did it first)

8. A webcam so that they can Skype with said Twitter friends.

9. A quiet spot in the home for sanity. (Which means you need to bring good toys to keep the
kids occupied.

And most importantly:

10. A note for the door warning visitors not to ring the doorbell when the baby is napping- or
else.

See Santa, that’s all. This really isn’t asking too much is it? I mean everybody knows if Momma isn’t happy- no one is.

Oh yeah, and world peace.

Thanks so much.

You’re the best.

Oh and I wouldn’t try to get down the chimney. We’ve got the door and the chute closed on the fireplace- ya know, to keep the baby safe. You’d better come through the front door. And watch out for the dog.

Loads of Love,

Dawana
