Guess I deserve to get punched in the throat

I just finished reading a blog post on a blog titled:  People I Want to Punch in the Throat.  I was shocked (wink, wink) to find out that I am one of those people!  It was written by someone named Jen, and apparently her next victim will be an "Over Achieving Elf on the Shelf Mommy."   Even though I am sure that if we met, she would immediately sucker punch me, this post had me laughing so hard I was crying.  For anyone who has a elf in their house, this post is for you!   http://peopleiwanttopunchinthethroat.blogspot.com/2011/12/over-achieving-elf-on-shelf-mommies.html

Here is my favorite quote from the post, the one that put me over the edge and doubled me over in delight at my desk!

"He's called The Elf on the Shelf, not the Elf who Skydives, Takes Bubble Baths and Shaves the Dog!  Leave him on the shelf so the rest of us slackers don't look so bad.  I think I'm just going to lay my Elf on his shelf, tape wires and hoses to him and tell my kids he's in a coma and hopefully he'll recover before Christmas.  That should give me some flexibility.

ps--today's post on Holiday cards will make you stream more tears than a cook dicing up onions.  Don't believe me?  check it out here  http://peopleiwanttopunchinthethroat.blogspot.com/2011/12/holiday-greetings.html
