Apparently we are ALL grumpy and, mostly, it's our spouses making us that way.
I couldn't sleep last night because i kept thinking of things to add to my grumpy list. Funny thing though, once i wrote out my list, had a couple glasses of Yellow Tail, watched the Lost finale and giggled with shane a little about the first comments i got from other grumpies, i felt pretty much all better.
That's the magic of this whole blogging thing for me. I write down what i'm feeling - happy, sad, mad, depressed, lonely or whatever - i write about it and get some kind and wonderful feedback and my problem feels much less like a problem and more like a shared experience.
The girls have been busily helping me bake and bake some more for the school fair this weekend, Children and Apple Pie.
Eight pies are sitting on my counter in preparation for baking. Also, rice krispie squares, sugar cookies for decorating and chocolate chip shortbread squares. Unfortunately, all these recipes only used two eggs and with my chickens producing ten or twelve eggs a day i am officially up to my eyeballs in green eggs. Want some?
I am preparing for birthday party number two in a series of three. I set expectations way too high when i went all out on a harry potter party for tristan last year. She invited her whole class. When they arrived i sorted them (with a sorting hat) into houses, then they decorated wands, guessed how many bertie botts every flavour beans were in a jar, had a find the snitch treasure hunt, broomstick races and a few others. Teams earned points for their houses. It was totally fun and i was proud of my efforts, but this year i am way too tired and busy to come up with anything half as good, so i am putting the pressure on for a little sleepover action. We'll see.
Toby, who's third in the series, wants a party at the playground at school and a thousand army men to play with. Sounds good to me.
