Amazing Cupcakes for Ellie’s 12th Birthday…Shout out to The Great Gadsby Bakery in Gilbert. I heart you but my bum does not.
My current status is sitting at the food court at KTR. KTR is a giant trampoline fun/skate park type place for children and possibly creepers of children or maybe just parents. Who knows there’s an eight year old trying to get my attention and he got my sharpest teacher go away stink eye. I’m here with the cutest group of 12 and 13 year old girls for Ellie’s birthday party. I hope they have fun! We have PLANS tonight. KTR and then a little snacky snack at Panda Express and those yum cupcakes. I hope it makes my girl happy.
I was supposed to run the Spartan race with my co-workers today. I was excited for the adventure and had serious FOMO today. I have been fighting a nasty respiratory infection/ fever and so I had to sit this race out. Or more like it wrapped up in my bed trying to get back to normal for work on Monday. Steam showers and you know..the stuff you do when your sick.
I did have a special delivery of chicken noodle soup. Not just one bowl but three. I was enamored to say the least with the deliveryman. Apparently, all you have to do to warm this cold bitter heart is bring it a little soup…or enough until the antibiotics kick in. So that made me very happy.
A friend of mine recommended the book Wild at Heart by John Eldredge. She said it had helped her to understand her sons. Let me tell you..I need all the help I can get to understand my son or men in general. It was very interesting. I then started to read its companion book for women called, Captivating. The book is good but I am not as captivated by it as I was by Wild at Heart.
I watched the Netflix show called Abducted in Plain Sight and I just can’t. I can’t even comment on it other than my jaw had to be scooped up off of the floor afterwards.
Last night my kids and I were treated to a delicious steak dinner by my parents. On the way home my kids and I were talking and laughing. They are SO funny. We were talking about crushes and dating. Aydan said his ideal date would be to go to the store get an Arizona cherry limeade and then walk around and talk. I was like…..we are going to have to work on that plan. It was a fun night and we got home and I crumbled into bed with my head full of snot and a cough that sounds much like an avid smoker. BUT, I fell asleep happy. Happy with my babes. Happy with my simple life. Happy that Netflix has some amazing shows coming out. Just Happy.
