Today is the MS Society Cake Break Day. A number of us in work have baked cakes to sell to raise money for the MS Society. Yesterday, after school, Elder Son helped me with a chocolate sponge creation. It would have been torture to not let him also make something to eat himself. He requested that we also make a cake in his favourite colours: pink and purple. Out came the red and blue food colourings – pink cake, purple icing.
Daughter came home from nursery exhausted, to be greeted by enthusiastic sibling and mother who insisted that she ate dinner before the pink and purple cake could be cut. She ate. Very very slowly. But eventually cake was had. And eaten. And with the last mouthful she announced: “Tired is finished now”. Perfect. So just before bed all three kids ran around the house chasing each other madly for half an hour. And then took an extra hour to settle in bed.
I’m exhausted this morning. Fortunately, looking at the line up here in the office, it’s cheesecake for breakfast, brownies for elevenses, strawberry and cream sponge for lunch. I reckon with that quantity of sugar my tired will also be finished!
