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.

Hope you manage to squeeze in some writing — I know how hard it can be. I almost feel like I’m “stealing” the time some days. My kids have been grown up and gone for a couple years now, but I remember REALLY well (and I think I have a permanent twitch because of it…). Love the “goth-flies” and the torching of the cake! Be sure to breath and take a moment for yourself — oh, and make the coffee extra strong!

You’re a good mom, Mandy. Make the hubby take the kids to a movie since you had to do the cookies run.
Mandy – you can’t be bored… Kick Ass Ninja Chicks are NEVER bored cuz they’ll go out and raise hell if they feel even the slightest twinge of ennui. Grin! Added you to the KA Ninjas! May has a plug for it on her site as well. PS – Loup Garou was totally rockin’ awesome. Dang – no ninja smilies. :dnc:
:ninja: emoticon is here!
Whoohoo
Okay, must go through these later and get rid of some. Any votes?
And THANKS for making me a ninjachick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was going to make Ninja sounds in celebration but Ninjas are stealthy and oh so quiet… so how do you know when they’re in the room? And how exactly does one kick ass in a stealthy ninja fashion? Must ask Queen Racy. Okay – that whole entry was my excuse to grab the NINJA!!!! :ninja:
I think your weekend was more exciting than mine. Trust me on that! LOL.
:ohpretty:
I like the new blog. I have been thinking of switching for long time because I so love the ability to play with smilies!
