Noooooo! Not the TREEEEE!

Ahahahhahawaaaaaaaaaah. Sob. My tree fell over. Picture it. A fifteen foot tree. Laden with ornaments both glass and cheap, and plastic and expensive all crashing to it's doom. Nobody underneath it, thank heavens, but crashing nonetheless. Sob.
I am on my way to scouts. I am just turning around to face the door when the tree comes crashing to the ground. Nobody pushed it. It just suddenly became possessed and fell.
sob.
IT TOOK ME TWO DAYS TO DECORATE THAT STINKING, WRETCHED, POKEY,
cough. cough. ahem. Deep breath. Toothy smile and girlish giggle.
So there is something to be said about seven foot fake trees........

OH! I am soooo sorry! That happened to us last year. Jay and Jayson were snuggling with the new baby in arms on the couch. Boom the tree fell right on them. My fast thinking with fast reflexes still husband threw his leg up in the air to stop it from falling on the kiddies and he stopped. No one was hurt, even though Jay was a little sore from lifting his leg higher than a guys leg should go. He did save the day! (he would be so embarrassed about the leg part but it is such huge part of the story!)
Good luck salvaging what is left of the tree!

:( sad face! You are a very hilarious and fun writer. You need to get a column when you are done making chocolates. That is so sad! I loved your halmak ornament trip as well...
