Despite my protests yesterday morning, Monday happened. Turns out it wasn’t so bad either. Our Elf on The Shelf’s return came at the best possible time. A time when both of my baby bassets decided that being naughty was the plan of attack for the evening. In school they were angels and received a major award for perfect attendance, at home they received a major award for perfect ability to make everything into a fight. In walks the elf and the fight ends. It’s kinda nice that for a whole month I have someone to fall back on for threats…I mean support.
