Good and bad, I suppose that's life. :-)

So my niece has Strep. throat.  And apparently the trees here are on E and all sexed up.  As a consequence of at least one of those, my throat hurts like a motherfucker.  I'm hoping it's the latter so that I can give it a couple days and it will be better, but I am less than optimistic about all this.  I see a potential hospital visit in my future... fuck.  Anyway, today we made 4 batches of cookies (2 with the help of 3 little girls--that was an adventure) and one batch of bars.  The bars are basically 7 layer bars with chocolate crumb crust and mint and dark chocolate chips instead of butterscotch and chocolate.  They're different, but quite good.  My cousin and her three kids came up for the day (days?), so that's where the extra children came from.  I am relatively certain that I've never met her, but it may be that I did and was  just too young to remember.  It's a bit creepy though, because I see a lot of my grandmother in her and my grandmother's dead.  (This is a cousin from dad's side.)  Anyway, she's got two girls (6 and 8) and a boy who's just over a year old.  That makes 5 adults and 5 children in this madhouse.  It's been kind of fun and kind of the best birth control ever!  In my defense, I did very well in sharing my baking with small children.  Go me.   I don't know what's on the schedule for today, but I think the cousin and her rug rats are headed out.  I may be hiding out under the covers in the bedroom with earplugs whether they're leaving or not.  We shall see.  Anyway, I doubt I'm getting back to sleep as my mother is taking a long ride on the snore train next to me and I'm not sure where my earplugs went.  I guess it's time to piddle about on the Intarwebz. Love and tasty treats, ~M:-|
