I am so stressed out this week. I'm not sure why. I'm sure that not getting more than 4 1/2 hours of sleep (not continuous either) for the last several days doesn't have anything to do with it. And I'm sure that discovering Smokey has been going around the house marking his territory has nothing to do with it either. (So far he's marked Natalie's room, Drew's room, the game room, TV equipment and Kent's office.) And I'm sure that having my children argue over who gets to chase after Smokey again after Drew lets him loose (for the 3rd time since Sunday) doesn't have anything to do with it either.
To help make things better I made chocolate cake last night. It was going good until I smelled something burning. I'm not sure what happened because I used the exact same amounts of the exact same ingredients in the exact same pan I have used numerous times before, but the cake batter went over the side of the pan, over both oven racks, and down to the bottom of the oven. When the oven cooled down I tried cleaning it, but things were really stuck good. I'm sure that didn't contribute to my stress level either. I'm using the self-cleaning option right now. My house smells like burnt cake. Yummy. But it had to be done. I'm having scouts here in a little while, and we're making cookies. Better to take care of it now than to make the cookies and have them taste like they've been burnt too. Smelly!

Bummer! Well I'll send you all the positive stress-free energy I can! :)
Cake mmmmm, cookies mmmmm. I'm hungry. I think those both sound good.
I checked out the crafting blogs. I think I could spend a lot of $$$ on all those fun projects. One thing at a time. It's a good thing that I didn't start getting into all these crafting projects till after we moved. But just wait if we do move back. CRAFTING NIGHTS!!! I need to get one of those shirts, "I'm SEW nerdy."
Oh and get some sleep woman!
I did. I was in bed, asleep at 9:00, about 5 hours earlier than usual. And the cookies were good (right out of the oven is the only time I'm tempted by them), and the cake was yummy... especially once the burnt smell was gone!
Can't wait for you to move back so we can do the crafting nights. Yahoo!
