A Letter of Warning!

Dear Crazy Mom Driver in the MINIVAN:

I know you are a busy lady.

I've been there and done that with the little one's in tow.

Please know that I am not mocking you as you ride up my tail. I'm praying that you hang up your phone and come to your senses before you push me off the road. REMEMBER, you have kids in the vehicle with you and they would like to grow up. Yep, I'm pretty sure of it!

So next week when I am headed off to work and you pull your minivan up behind me out of nowhere because you are driving like a bat out of h. e. double hockey sticks.... Be warned! I am revolting against mom's in minivans, talking on their cell phones, while there kids are watching movies in the back row. I will be driving the speed limit but not a mile over ('cause I'm putting on my cruise control). Maybe this will get the message through to you. If not, I'm turning your license plate in to my bosses wife. She is a cop and, yes, she packs every day. Just so you know!

Signed,
The driver in the little red honda that you would prefer to use as a speed bump.

(As you can see I have had a rough week with minivan drivers! Please, no offense to you ladies that drive those minivans - just keep in mind that you are carrying precious cargo and to quote one of our fav family movies - they don't wanna spend the holidays dead!) Yep, it is good to have connections :}

Whirlwind

Whew!

I'm a tired girl tonight. It has been a long day and for some reason, I want to grab my blankie and my pillow and go to sleep.

Well, maybe cause it is 8:50pm!

What?

Where did the night go????

Oh, yeah!

I sat through Abby's last volleyball game before regionals start. That was immediately following my 6+ hours at work.

My whole day is gone. I got alot done (in fact one of the gals commented on my "groove" I was in today). 18 cakes built yesterday, 18 cakes decorated today plus 18 more cakes built. OK, I can't take credit for 7 of the cakes built today 'cause I left them for the night crew to help out with. Tomorrow brings the making of cupcakes and decorating of 18 cakes plus building 18 more. Will it get done? I have NO idea! The last 18 cakes should get us into REALLY good shape in the "overstock" department. So, maybe next week will be a bit less hectic. As predicted, we had more special order cakes today plus some wanting cupcakes. I am so thankful for one of the day gals coming in to work on cupcakes tomorrow. Those little buggers just fly out the door!

OK, time to grab my blankie!

Night,

Jeanette

Tuesdays Tuesdays

Tuesday, usually is a fairly quiet day.

I spent the morning at bible study. We finished up a Precept study on Daniel. We start Genesis next week. Should be interesting! If you have never done a Precept study, find one in the area and give it a whirl. It is ALOT of work but it is totally worth it. This is my third year in a Precept study the first two years we spent studying Revelation and did Daniel to work back to Revelation. It was excellent! So helpful to line up all the end times prophecy.

Afterward I ran home to check up on Abby. She stayed home again today to just rest and get some food into her. She is still pretty weak and stayed on the couch all day. She will head back to school tomorrow.

Back out the door I go to get some cakes done. There were 8 cakes that needed to be decorated and a ton that needed to be built. I got the decorating done and used up all the cakes tins, chocolate cake AND red velvet cake and was back out the door by 4pm.

Quick ran home to throw some meatballs and french fries in the oven and thaw out some applesauce. Pick up Gabby from conditioning and get back home to eat supper. Run Gabby back to school for a two hour softball practice. Gabby finishes up softball at 8pm and I'll be heading down the road for the 4th time today to pick her up.

It has been a long day and I have three more days to go. I'm praying that I'll be able to whip out cakes faster than fast. The plan is to stock the display and stockpile in the freezer so that in future weeks I won't have to spend 20 hours a week at work. I'm getting tired of the 4 day work week and would really like to get down to three days. Stockpiling is the only way that will happen. Once again, the cakes are flying out the door. No particular reason for it, just a lot of people buying cakes. Only 4 special order cakes this week though, that is down from 9 last week. Course, Wednesday is the day that everyone calls in for a pick up on Thursday. We'll see!

I'll be spending the rest of the night reading a book and napping before bed. What? You don't nap before bed?? I do, almost every night and it is wonderful, you should give it a try :}

Gotta run and get Gab.

Hugs,

Jeanette
