Busy baker

   I know I didn't post anything yesterday. I spent all of Sunday on my feet making chili and about 10 batches of dough. Pizza dough, roll dough, cinnamon roll dough. I still have to make bread. Anyway I woke up super early yesterday and made cinnamon rolls for my kids before they left to school. Then I had a doc appointment for my now three year old . I went to the store with him and decided to make him his birthday cake. I also bought 3 other cake mixes because I still owed 3 of my older kids birthday cakes. It has been painfully pinched these last few months. So I made 4 birthday cakes yesterday. We sang happy birthday four times in a row. My three year old was so adorable and sweet allowing the other siblings to have their turns blowing out their candles. I am so blessed for my amazing son. So I have been very busy baking and experiencing the speed of life. It is going by faster and faster I don't think I can keep up sometimes.
   This morning I had a doctor's appointment with my daughter. I can't believe she's 10. Were did my life go? It was cool sitting in the exam room where we were waiting a very long time. She just was talking to me about her stories she writes and the pictures she draws. She asked me about my book and how far I have written and I told her not very far. It was just so cool to have this moment with my daughter where instead of us being mom and daughter we were also peers on the same field. I might have more knowledge and practice in writing but we were equal. Giving each other advice. Never in my life could I have hoped for such an amazing person to call daughter. Even better we connect (for now). I love her so much.
   Now I'm going to hang out with my sweet kids and watch movies. Eat some cake and cinnamon rolls. Hanging on to each moment.
