Mom, put the fire on the cake!

How did I get to be 37 years old??  I still feel mid 20's in my brain, so knowing I am rapidly approaching 40 is a little freaky.  Technically my birthday was yesterday, but the day was insane so I am just getting around to writing about it.  I was actually pulling into the daycare parking lot on time, which is a total miracle.  I looked into the rearview mirror just in time to see Miles projectile vomiting all over himself and the car.  Big sigh and a few choice words, which hopefully stayed in my brain, but most likely didn't.  I ran Iris inside.  Yes, I did leave Miles alone in the car, but I locked it and figured the parking lot has cameras...bad Mom?  I shot back home across the valley to drop Miles with Jeff, drove right back to the office, grabbed a work vehicle and hit the road for meetings 2 hours south of Salt Lake.  Way too chaotic a morning...
Thank you Jeff for simply handing me the keys to the Subaru and dealing with the carnage on your own.  I was so happy to drive away from that scene and right out of town.  I love my travel days for work, as long as the weather is decent.  Listening to good music (finally...not Puff the Magic Dragon!) and getting to see the winter scenery was like a birthday present! 
I got home to dinner and a cake Jeff made.  He makes yellow cake with chocolate icing for all the birthdays.  It's awesome and I will eat too much of it in the next few days until it's gone!  Miles blew out my candles.  He gets very excited about that, thus the title of this post!  I got the purse I wanted and other fun stuff, with the big surprise of the day being a new snowboard.  I am super excited to head up this weekend and test it out.  I crawled into bed completely exhausted, but really happy.  Bring it 37!
