Jenn: Sleepless
Posted by

I didn't sleep last night and it shows. The bags under my eyes are tell tale signs of my restless night (s). I think they have moved in permanently - not sure who you see for bags - dermatologist? Plastic Surgeon? Allergist? All I know is they need to go... there isn't enough concealer in the world to wipe out these puppies.
Why didn't I sleep last night? Well the heat for one - no A/C in my house. Not ready to put in the window one yet - it such a pain in the ass and we all end up yelling at each other - one of these days its going to go right out that window.
As I was getting in to bed, my 9 year old, my baby, who turns double digits tomorrow, comes into my room and says don't forget about my cupcakes. SHIT! Yes, I had in fact forgotten about the cupcakes. Fortunately I have today to get my act together and make the most magical, beautiful butterfly cupcakes. I am not a fly by night kinda gal. I like to plan ahead and be prepared. So this morning at 8 a.m, my killer bags and I went out to the grocery store to get everything to make those butterflies. Make that 3 grocery stores - searching for fruit slices (got em) and licorice whips (working on it) I also had to get gifts for the birthday girl from her siblings. I, of course had taken care of things, they had not and it being a long, leisurely, weekend, no one thought to go get something for their sisters birthday. I prayed not to run into anyone. I left my sunglasses on in the stores. I did what I needed to do and I came home to turn my oven on and bake when its 85 degrees outside. Okay whatever, I am over it.
Birthdays are a BIG deal in my house. You don't get gifts all year long. You get gifts on Christmas and your birthday. That's it. Tomorrow I am picking said birthday girl and a friend up from school early. We are going to build-a-bear - that's what she wanted - I have never been in one. We will come home to Chicken Pot Pie for dinner and then head off to her Chorus concert.
I have checked my list - its almost complete - hopefully nothing will keep me up tonight and I can send those bags packing. What keeps you up?
