Happy Windsday!
Mindless Ramblings and other useless thoughts
Well, here it is about 12 hours later and No one has bothered to comment. Of course, I haven't really let anyone know its here! LOL!
Anyway, I've been playing with my settings, adding links and a footer even, and for someone that thought HTML was like Latin (nice to know...for others not me!) I think I'm doing fairly well.
This Friday is my oldest's 5th birthday. For some strange reason, she has off from school so I spent my afternoon baking cupcakes and need to get them frosted soon. Then On to Dinner. Then tomorrow is crazy morning. And I need to squeeze in taking the cupcakes to school for her, but her bus doesn't come until 8:50, and the school doesn't "open" until 9. I have a meeting at 9:15. Yeah, I'm going to be late.
Friday is Errand Day, and I will need to grocery shop and make a cake for her first ever friend party on Saturday, then on Saturday I get to make a cake for the family party here. Am I nuts to have 8 of her friends, plus my 3 here all by myself? No, just an over achieving perfectionist.
Ah yes, that is it. I am a perfectionist the the point of paralysis at times, and it isn't a good thing. She is turning 5!! She won't even remember this date, except for what I choose to put in her scrapbook, that I have yet to start since I want to do my books in order and I am still on my wedding album. She has already forgotten that I foolishly made her invites purple. It WAS her favorite color. WAS. It changed about 3 minutes before I finished them, and she was angry with ME for not knowing that her favorite color is now blue. Or black. Maybe Yellow. I do love her, and respect her right to change her mind. I just wish she was still young enough for me to tell her what she loves. She is turning into a little person. She can ride her bike! She rides the bus by herself. She has friends whose parents I do not know! She is 5. No, she is 4 and 363.5/365.
She is making her own decisions, but I still get veto power for the time being. I love the theory that she should be making 5/18 of all her own decisions right now. If I am to let go of her when she is 18 and send her off into the world, she will need to be able to make every decision that comes her way. I am trying my best to enable her to do that. I give her tools every day, and now she is responsible for 5/18 of her decisions.
I digress.
Ok Cupcakes need frosting and I would like to get the colors mixed before she gets off the bus. I hope I have all her current favorite colors on hand, the ones I know about and the ones she will decide are her faves when she bounds into the door!

Pssst.....12 hrs since the blog went up MIGHT not be enough time for many replies oh impatient one ;)
LOL! The funny thing is at Bible study yesterday we had to complete the sentence "It is just like me to______"
I said "Be Impatient". *sigh*.
I guess I need to work on that. Now. Right now.
