Seriously?!? Seriously!

Ok, so we all know I've had a bit of a long week. Tomorrow is Knox's 1st birthday party and this afternoon was finally...well..the icing on the cake. Put a fork in me because I was DONE.

I spent the afternoon running errands like a mad woman trying to do in a few hours what I have needed to do all week. I finally get home and get started on some cupcakes that I was going to make for the party. First off, I have tried this recipe twice...both times they have fallen. Honestly, the first time was because I forgot the eggs but who doesn't do that every now and then? So I pull them out of the oven and just by the look of the little buggers I knew they were off. Oh well...

So I start on the icing, I'll just pile it up and you won't be able to tell there's a hole in the middle. Good plan, right? With this icing you have to cook flour and milk in a sauce pan first. So I get it on the burner and I am good. I also set a full bag of sugar down so that I have it for the next step. I am thinkin ahead. About this time, Knox starts crying so I get distracted and look behind me to see whats going on. I turn on the burner while looking the other direction. About three minutes later I hear a huge POP and sugar goes EVERYWHERE!!  In my haste, I turned on the back burner, NOT the front one with the pan on it. It caused the full bag of sugar to explode...YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I rip the bag off only to see that my cord from my Kitchen Aid mixer is also across said burner. Yep, totally ruined the cord..amazing.

By this point, I have people coming over for dinner and my kitchen is covered in sugar...I lose it..I am just so tired. Slade walks in from being out of town since Tuesday morning to find Knox in his crib crying and his wife.. who has taken pride in the fact that she held it together so well all week.... crumpled in a pile on the kitchen floor sobbing with sugar all over her. Welcome Home Babe!

You know what, I did it...I had a meltdown! I did not put my big girl panties on because, quite frankly, I did not want to! Don't judge, until you have cleaned up bodily excrement in every possible location in your home for a week and had a baby clinging to you like if you put them down the world will end...I think you too might be in a pile on the floor. Everyone has their limit....I had officially reached mine.

Because I am an adult, I did eventually put on my big girl panties. Went to the garage and got the shop-vac...sucked that sugar right up. I needed the heavy artillery...and a dust buster wasn't gonna cut it. Worked like a charm..not sure if it's bad for the shop-vac but at this point I didn't really care.

To top it off, I did finally make the icing and in all honesty, it was awful....the just keeps gettin better. Hope you fine people like Oreos.
