All in a Day's Work

So, my sister just resigned from her "job" to stay home full-time with her kids.  She was so grateful for this Sunday afternoon when her littlest little had a fever, and she knew that she was free the next day to take her to the doctor.  In fact, these "emergencies" are "all in a day's work" for stay-at-home moms.

Yesterday was the day back to school after Spring Break. I've been exhausted with the cold virus for almost 3 weeks, so the "ahead of things" has moved to the "behind again" stage.  Anyway, my youngest just turned 8 on Sunday, and being that it fell on Spring Break and Easter this year, we scheduled the party for this Saturday.  This, of course, leads to sending the invites out yesterday since they would likely get lost if sent before the holiday.  I forgot to send them in the morning, so this became priority #1 for the day.  I would finish them (since I discovered that I wasn't as far along as I'd thought) and bring them at lunchtime. 
Hannah had reminded me about the "bring cupcakes for my birthday" tradition the previous day.  It had somehow slipped my mind completely, and I wasn't sure how I was going to get these ready after a full day of church and family celebrations.  BIG thanks to my sis for sending home the leftover cupcakes, because given the choice, my daughter chose them as perfectly acceptable for fulfilling the task. 
The pressure was on, though, since I had to have lunch with her at 12:15 (or was it 12:05 or 12:19 - I literally forgot) and then leave and go directly to an appointment at 1:00.


Well.....I started this post last Tuesday....Here we are eight days later.....It's a Mom's life, all right.......
