I opted NOT to attend the 2 hour Junior Ring Mass at the kids school…yes, even though MC was getting her class ring. (don’t judge me! lol) It’s optional for parents. Some go some don’t. My bladder said to stay home, so I did. PLUS, I don’t think anyone wants to hear me snoring. Plus, it’s TWO HOURS. Two! The night before, MC told me many kids were leaving early (after the mass) since it was the holiday break. I said they had to stay. (I know…I’m so mean).
At 10:30am I get a text from MC:
All my friends are leaving early because their moms are taking them to brunch
So what’s a mom to do? Feel guilty? I thought about it for a moment and figured, what the hell. Called in and got them out early. I’m such a sucker. But, it was also her birthday….she’s 17….so. So what…I’m still a sucker.

EASY WAY TO PEEL HARD BOILED EGGS!
(um…special note to friends/family? If you are making a dish for a party that you’ve invited me too? Please don’t do this! BLEH!)

Yes…I ran out of candles. Again. Every year. And I never realize it til we’re ready to sing Happy Birthday. One year I used votives…lol This time? I had a ONE and an EIGHT. But no 7.
I love my kid….but THIS will just have to do.

I’ve seen the video with the eggs and I’ve tried the technique (what? it was for my own egg) which failed miserably. I hate peeling hard boiled eggs, I’d rather pluck out my own eyeballs. Extreme? I think not.
I’m a sucker too. Hope you had a great 17th celebration, candle choices notwithstanding.

Your makeshift 17 is hilarious! I always run out of candles too but that is something I’ve never tried!
Two hours is a long time for anything….and I’ve taken my kids out of school for stuff too. Just because I can.
Sick on the eggs. I’m glad I don’t like them because I don’t want anybody’s mouth germs on my food!

That is funny about the candle. I always run out too. I think two hours is too long also. I didn’t go to my daughter’s ring ceremony this year either.

ROFL at your candle. I’ve totally done the votives too in the past
That’s awesome you got them out early! That’s way better than brunch.

Oh yeah, you pee a lot too, like me.
That’s what I like about my iPhone so much — I’d bring it to mass and surf the net silently. I know I’m AWFUL!!!!!
17!!! Holey freaking fricky-frack! (That’s a new term I coined, I just love it. Do you?)
freaking fricky-frack

HAPPY WEEK-END!!!
