Today is a good day so far. Got up this morning and made cupcakes with the girls...not happy with them...the texture came out good, but they sunk in the middle...yet they are still moist...no worries though, I'll just fill them up with frosting and make then look normal.

SD is having her B-day party with her friends today. The original plan was for me to go out while the party is going on for a spa day and let hubby handle the party. Hubby is having a bad day (he is clinically depressed, on meds, but still having issues) so I made the conscience decision to stay home to supervise the party. He didn't ask me, I just said I was going to, so I'm ok with it.

SD is having a good weekend so far...no tantrums, doing her chores...etc. DD is too! Pretty exciting....LOL.

Hubby, just took SS to his friend's house (I don't blame him, there will soon be 10 pre-teens in my house, I would leave too if I was a 16 yo boy). He got his permit last week...I told him I'm not taking him driving, because I don't want the responsibility. That is up to his parents.

We were supposed to have a conversation with BM today. She cancelled because she wants her BF there. We have a lot of decisions to make that effect all of us (Bat Mitzvah; Prague trip, etc) but its all good.

I really feel like I took the pressure off myself. I've decided to do what I want with the kids and not to over do it. Just to have fun, and not worry about things...amazing what a good night sleep can do for a person.

I am still going to go for my facial mani/pedi, but will probably do that tomorrow. The skids will be gone (BM is actually taking them tomorrow and possibly Monday)

Monday, hubby and I are planning on a movie or something. DD is going to a friends house and the skids with be with BM. I'm also planning on picking up Zumba for the Wii...and I'm going to get this fat a$$ moving and back into shape. I know when I take care of myself I am better prepared to take care of everyone else....

My BIL is coming today with his kids...staying for dinner. Hubbie is cooking dinner, shrimp scampi I think he said, or maybe we'll cook together. Either way, the pressure is off of me..and I think it will help Hubbie feel better if he's doing something productive.
