Well, here is a picture of my daughter that was taken about an hour ago. This was after we'd spent the whole day whipping her with chains and starving her to death!

AT LEAST THAT WOULD BE WHAT YOU THOUGHT IF YOU WALKED BY OUR HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON!

Audrey didn't take any sort of nap all day....and the longer the day went, the crankier she got. Nothing pleased her. Natalie and I were trying to decorate the house, Audrey wanted no part of it, we tried putting her to sleep with a bottle in the rocker....no dice.

So we put her into her crib.

After one of the great screaming tantrums of all time, she finally passed out, and ended up like this, hugging her Zebra Slobbers.

I was becoming frustrated with our Christmas tree (having had to take it back to Wal-Mart- I bought a Pre-lit tree that didn't LIT).

Natalie got me and took me back to Audrey's room. When I saw her, my tension disappeared, my anger was gone, and my heart melted.

Lord I love her.
