So, today I spent working on this cake. It was a Spongebob cake for a friend of a friend. It is my first cake that hasn't been done for a friend, family member, or a volunteer organization. It was more work than I expected, but still, I learned a lot from it, like I do from almost every cake. The kids spent a lot of the day playing with the neighbor's kids in the backyard, which helped me out a lot, because they always want to "help." After the cake was done, the kids and I had lunch and then hung out for a little bit before they went back over to the neighbor's house for a little while. I waited here at the house for someone to pick up the cake. When she did, she loved it. Her son loved it too, and it made me happy to be able to do that for them.
After all that, we had dinner and I had the kids get ready for bed. While having them get ready for bed, they were having their typical "he won't get out of our room" kind of argument, so I had to go settle that. Well, it was just one of those kinds of nights for the kids. They kept on each other and on each other. Then, my oldest lied to me repeatedly about something that got her in trouble telling me her brother did it too. Well, her brother got in trouble when he should not have been, because he didn't do anything. I was upset about that, because one thing I cannot stand is lying. This is where I would have loved for Ian to be here, because I had to come up with a punishment for her, and usually like to be able to confer with him about it. Unfortunately, I had to do it on my own. I will end up talking to Ian about it tomorrow and I know we will adjust it, but for now, what I said goes. This is just another one of those days that goes down in the "Rough Days" category of this deployment.
Another day done, another day closer to seeing him again.
