Birthday hell update

So the neighbor's meeting ran over and he picked up his kids 1 1/2 hours late. Normally no problem, but he didn't call so I've had them ready to go for more than an hour-- ended up reading stories to them all just to get them all to settle down.

Put S & B to bed, came down to finish my now very cold spaghetti and found that the cat had picked all the ham out of it.

I give up....

Wow, what a day you're having! Impressive! I hope you've recovered from the windshield shock and that you have a better day tomorrow. Happy birthday, though! Did you make squishy brownies?

I appreciated this so much. There's not been much bad-cat action since we got the dog. She keeps them confined to a few select rooms.

Really needed the laugh, as I'm on pregnancy bedrest.

My question is, were you then so fed up you just said, "what the hell," heated it back up and ate it? Or did you scrap it and pat yourself on the back while making canned soup? I think I have done both...

It was also refreshing to hear you actually read to the children to calm them down. So many would have just plunked them in front of a movie.
