Okay – now hail the week that seemed like a rising mountain. From Endymion in my front yard to a birthday party of five year olds in my back yard, this has been a week. I woke Saturday morning with a fever and a headache and Tin said, “Are you not going to come to my birthday party?” I looked at him through the slit I was making with the covers over my head and said, “Give me thirty minutes.” <\/p>\n

Then it was up and at ’em – there was food to make, chairs to assemble, balloons to buy, drinks to ice down, and a party to put on to celebrate Tin turning the big 5. My parents always made a big deal of our birthdays, and I am following their tradition. My finances may have dictated a more meager gathering, but Tin takes after me in this regard – he wanted everyone<\/em> to come – and while we couldn’t have everyone, we had some and then some. <\/p>\n

And at the end of the day, Tin crawled into the fetal position in his bed and cried his eyes out, “I WANT MY FRIENDS. I LOVE MY FRIENDS” then fell sound asleep. <\/p>\n

Yep, near hysteria is the end to a great birthday party. <\/p>\n

My gluten free cake didn’t survive being dropped on the floor, but I made a yummy salted caramel frosting from my friend’s<\/a> recipe. Yep, it wasn’t pretty, but it tasted good and there was absolutely nothing left at the end. <\/p>\n

I was highly impressed by the home-made cards and especially this one that took a lot of time:<\/p>\n

All in all, we passed us a good time, and now mommy is dead, done, stick a fork in me<\/em>. This morning, I woke with laryngitis and a deep need to stay in bed for the next five years. <\/p>\n

I do have this to say about that – backyard birthday parties rock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
