It makes it unnerving just to wake up in the morning and wonder what's coming next.<br /><br />I admit I was laughing about your Egyptian food dilemma. I managed our last-minute French cuisine all right - French bread and over-priced spreadable cheese from Kroger counts. I have, however, had conniptions over assignments requiring impromptu middle-eastern and William the Conqueror costumes made from "whatever we had at home". <br /><br />I'm not a big fan of children's concerts, either. My oldest always got tremendously upset by having to participate or even be in the same room while others performed, so it kind of soured the whole experience for me. Plus the music teacher at our elementary school was really just awful with him. My family got revenge later when my middle son threw up on her shoes in the middle of his fourth grade concert. I still smile when I think about it.<br /><br />I hope you've had some nicer experiences to help balance some of this out.Dianehttp://dontpanic55.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-17968928469229767812011-05-17T16:48:21.609-04:002011-05-17T16:48:21.609-04:00Good Lord, I'm exhausted just reading this.

Two weeks ago I had to make 4 dozen cupcakes in one morning and ice them like butterflies for the 2nd grade who were celebrating life cycles and the metamorphosis of their caterpillars. Oh and I was told my dear sweet daughter to make sure they were prettier than the other mom who was making some too. REALLY? <br /><br />I so can relate to the being poor and eating hummus thing been there done it when I lived in NYC. But with us it was rice. I can not begin to tell you how many different things you can do with rice as it was cheap and in bulk and when you are a starving actor those are the best combinations!Sharon from Mama's Turn Nowhttp://www.blog.mamasturnnow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508619860116485212.post-37037191390953740642011-05-16T08:32:51.532-04:002011-05-16T08:32:51.532-04:00@ Life in the house-thanks. :)
