The last two weeks of school are insanely busy. Report card writing, party planning, graduation planning, certificate writing, cleaning up files, marking... On top of it all, I have other responsibilities I never should have said yes to that are causing me quite the anguish. So now that I've whined, I'll let you know why my son is my thankful "item" tonight.
As I left in a hurry for yet another meeting tonight, I hollered out as I left that if someone wanted to make cupcakes while I was gone, it would be greatly appreciated. We have some friends coming over tomorrow night and I decided cupcakes would be the easiest thing to serve them for sweets. Well after my meeting (and two other stops on the way), I entered the house fully intending to get started on those cupcakes. Imagine my joy and relief when I smelled the sweet, sweet aroma of baking as I entered the house. My oldest son had made the cupcakes and even had the dishes all done.
I've got to say, right now that was the greatest present anyone could have given me. I'm so very thankful for his thoughtfulness and for the 2 dozen cupcakes cooling on the counter that I can serve to company tomorrow night. A.
