So Great.

So, I've learned a lot lately.  First off - sometimes, I really struggle.  Like for instance, Friday morning as I was trying to get ready for an appointment I had, I decided to make a smoothie - you know - so I can drink and get ready at the same time.  Good idea, right?  Well, it wasn't a good idea to use a spoon to try to mix it up, even though I PROMISE I wasn't even close to the mixing blades.  I guess "not even close" is too close, since the spoon shot out of my hand, and the blueberry smoothie got all over everything - including the counter, the floor, the wall, the ceiling, my hair and my face.  It was a mess.  I had to shower again (with having to be somewhere looking nice in 40 minutes - yikes).  There is still some smoothie on the ceiling because I can't reach it and I haven't had much time to try to climb up on the counter and get it off.  Oh, and the walls are kind of stained purple/blue right now, because I only had time to wipe it off quickly.  Yeah, I'm pretty awesome.

Oh don't worry.  I had another incident yesterday as well.  I know - I rock.  So, being the awesome wife I am, I was making cupcakes for Ben's class at church.  And I went all out.  I found good homemade recipes for both the cake and frosting and even borrowed a pan and decorating tip to make good looking mini cupcakes (thanks Brittany!).  Yes, you can admit to yourself how awesome I am.  Pretty dang awesome.  Anyways, so it's like midnight and I'm getting these cupcakes into the oven finally.  And when you make mini cupcakes - it's like 4 batches instead of 1 of the regular size - so the recipe I made ended up making enough for 4 dozen minis.  I know - intense right?  Well, getting batch 3 into the oven was obviously a difficult task for me, since I apparently didn't get it fully onto the rack and it decided to tip backwards and get all over the oven door.  Yes, so great.  Luckily, Ben is pretty awesome too, and came to help clean it up.  Well, he actually did pretty much all of the cleaning.  He sent me back to the cake mix to start prepping the next batch of cupcakes.  (Daily Sweet?  I think yes!)  He also made sure to give me some kind words of wisdom on how to handle the next batch of cupcakes.  So great.

So, as you can tell, I sometimes struggle.  And sometimes, I struggle a lot.  Like this weekend.  Haha.  But don't worry, there were plenty of cupcakes for Ben's class and for another class I went to, so it worked out.  There's probably still some cake mix in the oven, and there's definitely some smoothie around, but it's ok.  I'll get around to it sometime.

Another thing I learned is that if I stop asking for things, people are more willing to do things for me.  Mostly Ben.  I don't have to ask him 50 times to take the trash out.  If I ask once, he'll get to it, and he doesn't get annoyed with me.  It's a win-win.  And, if I'm not asking him to do a million things a million times, he's a little more appreciative of what I do.  Sometimes I act like he owes me for everything I do to help in order to make things even, but that's ridiculous.  Plus, I'd rather him be appreciative of the things I do, then feel like he's overwhelmed with the list of tasks I expect him to do in order to even out everything I do.  Man, how crazy am I?  K wait - I'm awesome remember?  Remember the whole cupcake thing?  Yeah, I'm awesome, ok!?

P.S. - Ben has has lots of daily sweets the past couple days.  I just keep forgetting/run out of time to put them all up here.  They include things like watching a dorky chick flick with me (without me even asking), visiting me at work, helping clean up, and just being cute overall.  I'm pretty lucky.

P.S.S. - I WILL put up some pictures soon.  I have some of my cupcakes and a few other things, so I'll put them up soon, hopefully!!  =]]
