Today’s post…

is over at Dot Moms!

Then you can come back here and share your own interesting moments with a two-year-old.

Her party went well, by the way. My heart melted into a little pile of butter when my husband came home from the store with a bouquet of chrysanthemums for his little girl. What a great guy!

The cake tasted good, but the appearance left a little to be desired. Note to self–Mississippi Mud Cakes don’t work well in layers that are not of the same size. Second note: Hot fudge frosting will make the marshmallows bleed out the sides until the cake looks like a volcanic eruption. It wasn’t pretty, but we ate it anyway.

My daughter’s favorite present was…wait for it…a cleaning set. Yes, the brainwashing has begun. I bought her a toy broom, mop, dustpan, and feather duster, complete with a bucket of play cleaning supplies. She was in heaven.

Last, the daily total was 7.5 pages. Not bad, all things considered. Today I decided to bite the bullet and finish all line edits for the book I owe two agents. I started on page 203. 87 pages down, 68 left to go. Mostly it’s going very well. There have been a few moments of what drugs was I ON when I wrote this drivel?? But the goal is to stick this puppy in the mail TODAY.

After that, I’ll go paint the shed. So exciting!
