I was up till 1am last night making fondant flowers... partly because I couldn't sleep, partly because I just wanted to... Addie's birthday is today and she is officially SIX years old! Abigail and I had made mini cupcakes yesterday in preparation for Addie's class today... The cupcakes looked so yummy and cute... wish I had a picture of them... Anyway, Addie was bouncing all over in the car on our way to school... and 1 minute in to the car ride (and I mean that we were still in our garage) Addie stepped on the cupcakes. These were 2 of the non-survivors:
Talk about emotions! I had just gotten THREE children ready and out the door for the day... Lunched packed, baby's fed, clothes and hair=cute, cupcakes frosted and decorated... And it's also Abigail's first day of preschool!!!!! I was SO upset I could've cried. It was only 8:15am. So I plastered on a smile, said "it's ok..." and went back inside to salvage what I could. Luckily, most of them had just been tipped over and squished into each other... Hope the kids in addie's class don't mind cupcakes with a little personality.
So, consequently, i didn't get a pic of Addie on her 6th birthday before school, and I also did not get a pic of Abigail getting dropped off on her first day of preschool... I will post 'em when I get 'em. Right now I'm just enjoying having NOTHING to do! Baby's sleeping, Adds and Bird are at school. Ahhhhhhh. Breathe.
The point of today's blog is: I was talking to Dan and mentioned that I think God invented blogging for mom's to be able to vent their stories in a way that makes all the mistakes and oopsies of a mommy's day turn in to something to laugh about. Seriously. How often have I read about a TERRIBLE day of a mommy-friend on her blog, and it actually is pretty funny. All of these experiences are worth remembering. All of these experiences are things I will yearn for when they are grown and gone. All of these experiences remind me of how great life is and how short it has become.
Thank you blog.
I love you.

Happy Birthday, Addie!
She and my mom share the same B-Day, so it's an extra-special day!
happy birthday Addie!!! i am sure the cupcakes were adorable. the non-survivors still looked super cute!
I hate those days where things go wrong, not because you weren't on top of things, but just because that's life. So annoying. I agree with you about blogs being a blessing to moms. even just rereading my own experiences makes me happy. I guess in part because I know we've survived some serious crap and that we are still mostly sane.
I've been thinking about you a ton and wanting to call you. Dang the time difference and the fact that life is CRAZY! I'll make it happen soon! Love ya!
Oh....I wanted to cry for you! I can only imagine how cute the cupcakes were!!!!
i'm with you. blogs are a great way to share the every day stuff. i'm sorry you had stress. and still can't believe addie is six!
