We are going to be so busy at work tonight with a fundraiser...that part is fine. Unfortunately, when I got to work yesterday I found out that in the morning one cook and two managers had been let go. The chaos from this is going to be huge--we've had so many changes in the last year with the company being bought by a large corporation, and this just adds fuel to the fire. I think that my job is pretty secure...that sort of lower middle management position where I do some of everything...I'm trying to lay low and avoid the confusion as much as possible.

Dh brought home a beautiful birthday cake for me yesterday. It had a marzipan and raspberry layer and was iced with real whipped cream-it was so good. (probably about 3 million trillion zillion calories per piece, too, but once a year! I better get those walking shoes moving.)

Dd is still sick. She's a kid who is never ill and can't stand missing a day of school. Well, she's in grade four, so this will probably change with time! I saw her teacher today and brought home some homework for her for the weekend. Unfortunately, with her being sick she can't do her paper route today and so ds11 will be doing it by himself. This generally leads to whining and complaining on his part, but not always, as he'll get more money on payday than she does. Those two get along so well it's unbelievable. They have always been close and rarely fight or argue. It's ds11 and ds5 who fight--not physically, but they yell and argue. Ds11 eggs on his younger brother who then loses his temper. It's great fun in the morning when we're running behind schedule!

Yesterday was a no spend day--I think that makes 7 this month. I don't know if I'll make my 10. I have to buy some stuff for work today, but I'm not counting that because I'll get paid back tonight when I hand in my receipt, and the purchases are not for me.

I'm going to go get what we need, and come home and hopefully have a quick nap before I leave for work.
