Paging Betty Crocker..or maybe Betsy Ross?

Things have been crazy around here, but for the most part in a good way.

Between work, chores, errands and ME being the only responsible offspring of the family, the only one that makes sure my parents are ok - and Kim taking care of her kids at her house and then coming to stay here to end our day - it seems the days get longer and longer.
Am I complaining? Oh hell NO, not at all.

I guess it took me to be in my 40's to actually have some sense of maturity.
It seems like NOW I can accept the whole time management aspect of life, of not only MY life and the people I've had it in forever - but also of Kim's life and her girls. I think I'm handling it pretty good for the most part, although I won't lie I've had a couple of meltdowns. But I've worked thru them, actually WE've worked thru them together!

And Kim? She's just fantastic!
She loves doing domestic stuff and making people happy.
She's made me dinner many times. She helps with my errands.
I've made her breakfast, and it wasn't cereal. It involved mixing and putting on the stove!

The other week, we were going to visit Donna and her family, so Kim wanted to make cupcakes for Enzo and a cheesecake for the rest of us, Why?
Just because!
He loved them! Aren't they cute?

She even made cupcakes for her and I -

She loves doing those things and she gets help and spends time with her girls doing it.
This week she made a baby shower cake and cupcakes for someone at work and even managed to get me into the action too. Who would have thought "I" would be frosting cupcakes?

I'm tired, its seems like I'm always tired. But its a great tired!
During the work week I use to be in bed and asleep by 9:30, but now? Not so much.
We're lucky to be IN bed by 9:30 now - and then? Well as Donna has labeled it, we go from baking to "doing alittle sewing" :::WINK WINK:::

This weekend I have the WHOLE weekend off from work, trust me folks that is rare!
Tonight is my annual appreciation dinner for work.
Kim is coming with me! Its at a very nice Hilton and we are staying overnight.
I've been looking forward to this for a month now. I normally don't care too much for the outing, but this year I have Kim with me and even if the dinner party sucks, the night is going to end great!

Tomorrow we pretty much have to ourselves and then a quick driveby to my brother's house for one of my niece's birthday.....and in hand we will have another homemade cheesecake! Don't worry about me and cheesecakes, I've lost 10 lbs in 2 months according to the doctor's scale. Hmmmm? Must be all the SEWING!
