Cupcake

Because it is Mother's Day I had a cupcake at 3:45 p.m. today. A pink cupcake with jam filling leftover from our party last night. I napped when Nicky did, which is historic for me. We went to Busch Gardens with my mom and watched Nicky ride the rides and rode some ourselves. The lines were short. The weather was just warm and the breeze was just enough. It's 8:30 p.m. now and I'm about to take a bath and watch An Education. I know what I'm wearing to the office tomorrow.

The party last night went great. The house was clean and pretty, candle-lit, full of kids playing in some places and friends catching up in others. The weather was perfect. There was hardly any clean up.

Times like this, when everything's easy and fits so easily in place, I wonder what all the fuss (my fuss) was about.

And that's a great Mother's Day, when everything in your crazy, chaos-reigns life seems like a piece of cupcake.

Happy Mother's Day universe. G'night!
