I had grand plans today.
Spend all of Jeff's hard earned money at Walmart, the grocery store, Costco, and the party planning store. Then clean the house until it shines. Ok, so really just make it somewhat presentable with a quick vacuum, dusting, de-cluttering, and maybe a good mopping. Then clear off all the junk on the back patio, pick up the toys and random gardening supplies strewn about the yard, paint the trampoline box for a "ballet shoe" toss game, and then bake 30 cake pops and a dozen blueberry muffins. Oh, and this was all after getting up for a 6:00 a.m. walk plus the normal "mom" stuff trying to keep the kids feed and alive all day. All in preparation for not one, but two birthday parties tomorrow.
Instead, Cole begged "home" after the party planning store, Costco, and an unexpected stop at Kid 2 Kid for a new pair of ballet slippers for Pearl. I couldn't blame him though. I was just as tired as he was from running errands and cleaning the patio.
We fell asleep together on the couch while Pearl fended for herself until Jeff got home. Needless to say, I was up until the wee hours of the morning attempting my first try at cake pops. Good thing sprinkles hide blemishes!
