Happy Birthday To Me! Stop By For Some Cake.

happy-birthday-to-me

Today is my 45th Birthday! Woo hoo! I'm so glad you stopped by, look! I have my very favorite cake in the whole world, German Chocolate!   There's also a real one in the freezer to have for dinner tonight after we have one of my favorite meals, Cola Chicken with mashed potatoes and peas. Yum. Kaitlyn has been sick for two days, not keeping anything down, and now she's complaining about an earache. That's why I'm up at 2:55 a.m., I was administering a dose of Children's Tylenol and figured as long as I was up, I'd get my birthday post published. Hopefully she'll let me sleep in a little in the morning, since I'm definitely not sending her to school. Anyway, since you're here, I hope you'll leave a comment letting me know you stopped by! It's been my tradition ever since my birthday in 2006 to put up a birthday post and ask my readers to leave at least as many comments as the number of my age. So that means I'm hoping to get 45 comments on this post! All comments … [Read more...]

I Just Did Something Really Stupid

Mistake Graphic

I slept really badly last night and woke up exhausted, clearly that's not the best state of mind for me to be in when drafting a blog post.  I went into my Friday Fives post from last week to grab the badge code so I could just copy/paste it into today's post - and somehow ended up writing OVER the post from last week. Like, I have no idea how that even happened. But the 1-20-12 post is gone, and the 16 comments left on it are now attached to today's post. And I've even had coffee already this morning. Sigh. Okay, so does anyone know how I can recover that post? Shouldn't it be saved somewhere? Help! … [Read more...]

Geez, January, What Did I Do To You?

Debbie Downer

If the past eight days are indicative of what the rest of 2012 is going to be like, I might be looking at one tough year. I'm just getting over a bad cold and now I have a bladder infection or a UTI or something.  I had the doctor on call paged and she says to go to Urgent Care, which is exactly what I want to be doing today. Yippee. Meanwhile, Chris found out late Friday afternoon that he has to go to California tomorrow and be gone until Thursday.  So I get to deal with the bladder thing AND the kids and the house and everything by myself.  Fun. Chris is in a bad mood, too, probably because all I've been doing for the last eight days is sleeping and blowing my nose and now, running to the bathroom every five minutes, which isn't exactly putting me in the mood for sexy time, if you know what I mean. Guess I have to go pee in a cup for a strange doctor now.  I just really hope that January and the rest of 2012 are going to be better than these last eight days or else I may … [Read more...]
