Chimney Trouble

The Chimney Sweep came today, and to my great disappointment, he did not have an English accent. In fact, he had a video camera to insert up the chimney. Though this was cool, it was not what you expect from a chimney sweep. No, I want singing and dancing on the roof!

Instead, we got a tremendous bill. Actually, the bill won't be charged until the chimney guy does a tremendous job. We knew this one would be big - there's a large crack in the fireplace that goes on up and up and up.

The guy actually told us that it appeared as if there was a great deal of pressure on the top of the chimney - and the entire thing had something like ripples from the ordeal. He didn't have an answer for this, but when Zena explained it all to me, I immediately figured it out: Santa needs to lay off so many cookies. All that weight!

It was a work day - and it was a work day for Madison too! She came in with Daddy to be featured in the final video commercial for our series, which takes place in a lunch room. It should be fairly similar to the others: Pointless, and filled with slapstick. Look for it in tomorrow's post.

Until then, it is an early night for all of us. Madison is starting to appear under the weather. Daddy is a little sore, and Mommy is already sleeping. Maybe it would be a good idea for all of us to get a little rest. It's a rainy night in Georgia, but I don't think we'll notice so much. Soon we'll all be in a deep slumber, resting up for another big day tomorrow.
