Happy Birthday

Damon opening presents before school.

Claire, Anne, and Jake eating his cake.

Jake's birthday was nice--very low key. But Damon's wore me out. He wanted another Star Wars themed party (same as last year), and I let him invite six friends. It would have been all right, but I did some dumb things the week before (like started voluteering at Damon's school and deciding to save a few dollars by making his pinata instead of buying one) that led to me turning to cookies and chocolate (I'm supposed to be sugar free, remember) and swearing in back rooms (I swore off swearing, too) to cope with the stress. Whew, glad that's over. But the party was a success, and I'll avoid stretching myself too thin in the future.

sometimes a swear slips out...and my kids think I'm the devil. I need to swear off swearing too.
The sugar thing, NEVER! :)
good for you.

I like "swearing Charlotte" better anyhow.

I makes me chuckle thinking of you swearing in the back room. :-)
