Apparently I'm in the IT dept. And Slacker Martha anyone?

So I’ve just been informed I’m being pulled into some systems conversion project shit at work. Really? I’m a CPA. Not some IT Guru (although I loves me some internetz). But yea – I’m to write reports in Oracle. Like 20. In 2 weeks. AND, I've been tagged as the point person - the go-between - for each divisional head who needs help writing their reports and the consultants. Again, Really?

Needless to say, I about shit my pants yesterday when I found out. Thankfully I already put in for Vaca tomorrow – so I can go balls to the wall today and really dig in next week.

Tomorrow. Little Kiss’ birthday. It’s here. I’m in denial, and I don’t mean the river in Egypt! I’ve made my lists and done some prep for his party on Saturday but totally and completely didn’t even think about bringing stuff in to school tomorrow. I know, you’re probably saying “who cares, he’s 1, no one will know.” But I care. And I secretly love being “that Mom” who apparently gets it all done AND brings in cookies for her kid’s first birthday *smug wink*

Since I’ve been roped in to being A’s wing-woman tonight (“date-ish” happy hour w/ a guy she met at the golf tourney – lotsa potential there) I can’t do them later.

What does that leave? This morning. Before work. Kidlets off to school, Momma off to the grocery store to buy cookie dough (cut me some slack, I needed the short cut) and I was baking this morning. I bought these kick ass Martha cookie cutters last winter – like 75% off on every letter of the alphabet and number. FINALLY – a time to use them! I made #1 cookies – but, um, the look at little phallic, don’t they?



Not like hers:



I may have to decorate them to make them better, but they’re for a bunch of 1 year olds – I didn’t want to add too much frosting. We’ll see – and again – who cares (we all know I do).

P.S. – this was the time the cookies went INTO the oven. I am supposed to be to work at 9. Didn’t even remotely happen today.



Peace-out, rumple smoothskin...
