Hmmm....this doesn't look right



For those of you who know me well, I am sure you are laughing right now. Please laugh - I did!! My pound cakes normally look very different from this one! I have had some "mess-ups" in the past, but none that were absolute inedible soup! When I started to clean the pan I literally poured pound cake batter down the sink. I have NO clue what happened. Well, maybe I do...

Today was our big end of the year team party and the morning started with me waking up worrying that my busses wouldn't show to pick us up for the field trip, then worrying on the way there that somehow after multiple confirmations that the water park would have forgotten we were coming. The trip was a tremendous success (but I am WAY too old/out of shape to be climbing the stairs to slide down water slides multiple times) and the rest of the day was truly wonderful. The afternoon started out well around 4:30 with me trying to be productive and run a few errands and get it all "marked off my list" so that I could rest and relax tonight at home with Turner. Oh, how my plans changed...it was then the brain lapses started. I am going to blame them on my exhaustion and stress that is the final week of school each year. I have since made two trips to Tiger Town, two trips to the grocery store (to purchase things for the disaster pound cake which obviously was a waste of time), wrapped presents, "baked" a pound cake while hoping my cat-napping child wouldn't wake up till it was done, fed Turner, put Turner to bed, cleaned the kitchen, organized a spreadsheet for Sunday School, and finally sat down to eat my scrambled eggs for dinner at 11:00. To top it all off, it was one of those days where I think the devil is just trying to make me angry by annoying me with little things that just go wrong! I have continually dropped things, spilled things, etc. etc. while all this was going on. I thought a minute ago, "I just need to go to bed and start over tomorrow!"

Maybe that's just what I'll do...

Just keep laughing....it's all that really matters! (And be thankful Turner is not 11 yet...so she can tease you, in the most loving way of course, about your beautiful pound cake!
