Tina is coming today!!!

I'm so freaking excited, I may explode. It was Ananada's birthday yesterday. She wanted a penguin cake. I couldn't find anyone to make me a penguin cake on such short notice and I couldnt' figure out how to do it, so I'm making penguin cupcakes. I hope that is okay. Maybe Tina can make her a real penguin cake after they get home and settled in. Anyway, I'm thrilled that I get to sing happy birthday to one of her kids...

I cannot wait to see Elise! My girls are nearly giddy with excitement about seeing the other kids.

I have a lot to do. Gotta run....

My cleaning lady made special trip to my house today so that I would not have a nervous breakdown.

Well, kind of. Three days ago, I called and asked her if she could come on Friday or Saturday instead of Monday. She said Friday was out, but she might be able to do Saturday, she'd call me back. She never did. I went about my business. About noon today, I was starting to feel some serious stress. And I haven't felt good the last few days. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I keep waking up with horrible headaches, having anxiety attacks (heart racing, sweating, etc.) and heartburn, being dizzy and nauseous and tired...I'm actually a little afraid I'm having some kind of heart trouble. Anyway, I was feeling very stressed because of my lack of energy this morning and then...my cleaning lady called!! "Hi, I'm on the way to your hosue, I'm fifteen minutes away."

Yay for cleaning ladies who fit you in at the last minute! I don't care that she called me right before she came, I'm just glad she came! I got to relax and wrap things for Tina's kids and make penguin cupcakes (which didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but are sorta cute) and make lasagne, the real kind from MIL's recipe for dinner.

Cleaning ladies ROCK!!
