Pancakes, Anyone?

Currently Reading: Finished Brits in Time yesterday:) Excellent anthology! Next up is Just a Kiss by Lara Santiago.


How's this for the perfect birthday gift for the teenager?

Woke up to freezing rain; ticker said 2-hour delay.

"Hey Mom? Can I make pancakes?"

The phone rings.

"Hey, Mom? Turn on the news; Sam got a text message from Dalton. School's closed, maybe??"

I switch channels. Yup; kids have no school today!

"Sweet! How cool is this?"

Happy birthday, Kyle!

In Other Birthday Torture...
I ordered his cake last night. Since he said 'Surprise me', I told him I got him either Hannah Montana or High School Musical! Now he's scared...I'll tell you what I got him tomorrow. There's a chance he'll read this today!

He's got his Boy Scout Court of Honor tonight, and we're supposed to bring a dessert. No brainer here; we're taking birthday cake! And my Life Scout now has exactly 364 days to complete his Eagle rank. He needs a project and two more merit badges. Plus we have to find his documentation which was misplaced in the move 2 years ago...

He's also received his birthday spanking. After he put the dog outside on her chain, I held open my arms for a hug. As pre-arranged, his friend Samantha promptly started spanking him! Hey, when your kid grows five inches taller than yourself, you have to devise sneaky ways to give them their birthday paddles!
