Middle Kid’s B-day
I woke up extra early today to wrap presents for the middle kid’s b-day today. I got everything out of the bag and realized I bought gift bags with pink butterflies on them. He’s a he and doesn’t find that nearly as cute as most would.
I decide to make the bags cooler so I get the scissors out and go to town, clipping wings and gluing extra stuff to them so they’re no longer pink winged butterflies, they’re goth-flies….That’s what I told him and dammit, we’re all sticking to this theory.
I get the cake (that I bought yesterday) out and shove the candles in. It then hits me that I don’t have any matches so I have to go get the lighter for the grill… you know, the 12 in long one that shoots a flame as long as a finger. Grin After “torching” his cake candles we launch into Happy Birthday and he’d thinking its the coolest day evvvvaaa.
Lucky me.
It’s not even 8 am here yet and already they’ve cracked open some of the Wii games and are currently doing some other Pirates of the Caribbean thing. I asked the DH to run the treat for school up on his way to work so I don’t have to run out later (I’m uber behind on deadlines and wanted to spend day writing and catching up)…he gave me a song and dance on the reasons why he could not carry out a simple task. I just smiled Grin and waved as he left.
He’ll pay with a pound of flesh dammit.
See…this is me without coffee. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
My goal is to get a few hours of writing in this morning since the weekend will be a bust. Looks like I’ll be running the treat up early afternoon and I promised to take the boys to a movie tonight.
So, that’s my day so far. Kind of boring. I know.
