update

I wasn't quite up to posting yesterday. I wasn't feeling too well and spent most of the day in bed. Who knew these viruses could hit a second time? I had spent all week since this post pacing out the different jobs that needed to be done. Just concentrating on that task at hand until it was done. Not letting those pesky thoughts of christmas to do lists sneak up on me. Because I'm certain I will get to that. In it's own time. I was so touched to hear all your comments and know that I'm not alone on this issue.

So today is going to involve a mad rush of catching up. My biggest baby turns 9 today. Yes, Luca was born on Remembrance Day. So with a birthday party to get ready for, the next 24 hours or so will be a bit mad. I've had to let go of the idea of all homemade treats. Heck, I even let hubby bring home one of those soft fluffy loaves last night as an emergency. But I am determined to bake that birthday cake if it kills me.

This is the first birthday party I've ever hosted. Explanation later. Wish me luck!

  7. Firstly you produce extremely cute children. Perhaps pop back to have a few more. Secondly I am completely confused about the not hosting birthday parties bit. Thirdly, my only tip is to hold off on all really lurid coloured treats until just before you send them all home to their mothers. melx

    Happy Birthday Luca! Don't they grow so quickly... I'm guessing with a bit of added pressure you will be back in fine form in no time! I hope you all have a wonderful day. :)
