Well......crap.

Oh Landis..... I'm trying so hard. But I dropped your birthday cake all over the inside of the stove when I was pulling it out just now. And I think I can salvage some of it with some pudding and blueberries and whipped cream, but I feel so lousy because it's not the double-layer round cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles that I know you had your eye on.

And I owe you a birthday letter that I haven't even started.

And I said I'd be home early for your birthday today, but then things went crazy at work and I didn't make it when I said I would.

And I'm sorry.

I'm trying though... OK? I'm trying really hard.

BUT...... I did manage to get your specially requested dinner into the oven -- so we WILL have meatballs tonight! And because I was late, you did get to play with your friends at the pool for an extra long time, so... OK... I'm feeling better. You? Am I feeling horribly guilty for no reason at all? Were you ever even the slightest bit disappointed?

The shape of the cake won't matter. He is a boy- don't they eat dirt and bugs? It will be yummy and have candles and it is made for Landis and that is what matters to him.
I am feeling a lot better lately- please let me know if I can help. Ask Erin, I can make some darn cute cupcakes!

You are a great Mom. Work just takes a lot out of you, especially the work you are doing. Hang in there. My dad worked 60 hours a week and was never home during the week - the only reason I know is because my mom told me. Kids are resiliant.

Oh, man. Sorry to hear about that cake. I once had a similar experience with a pie for my dad's birthday.

Happy Birthday Landis! You've got a great mommy.
