Is there a rule that says whenever you have loads of stuff to do you should instead waste your time away on something else? I ask because my week is jam packed with an enormous “to do” list, yet here I sit, not doing any of it. Here is a glimpse at my week.

• Gather all necessary documents to apply for a substitute position (done)
• Get finger printed for above stated job
• Fill out and address birthday invitations for 3rd birthday party coming up
• Get homework done for class one (due Wednesday)
• Finish homework and study for final exam for class two (due Thursday)
• Get to the store for diapers as the littlest Riley has only 1 left
• Make dinner multiple times this week since I have yet to do any mass cooking for the freezer this month
• etc. etc. etc

Now that you have seen my rather boring list of things to do, I would like to share what I did instead this morning with toys piling up around me and Blues Clues chiming in the back ground.

Yep, I decided I would try to make my own flowers for my first decorated cake. Mind you the party isn’t for nearly two weeks yet, but I couldn’t shake the notion of conquering the darned flowers. Surely I had a back up plan to run to a bakery and buy a sheet of flowers if this flopped, but I am very excited to say that I successfully made two flowers on my first try and am fairly certain I will get them the way I want them on the day of the event.
