I Am My Mother...?

Comments are on again. Apparently my host was slammed with more comment spam and disabled them on MT, the King of comment spam. Thanks to Dana for letting me know they were off. I got your email girl and will respond.

I am, again, Procrastinating with the party preparations. I have to clean, not too fun. Have to make a few snackies, that's OK not so bad. But not looking forward to that cleaning thing. I was up late last night working on that dastardly tres leches cake. It does NOT look like the tres leches cakes that I get from our local Mexican bakery. Which is probably why my son was having a semi-nervous breakdown as he oversaw my labor of frustration last night, ear cocked to my It's not peaking, the egg whites aren't PEAKING screeches. He was rightfully nervous that the tres leches would be muy mal and he would not have his craving for the delicious dessert quenched on his very special day.

And, on top of that, he would be humiliated in front of his Hispanic friends over his gringo mom's attempt at making cake. Oh man. Light bulb moment here: I'm turning into my mother. Oh we can make that. Why would we go spend all that money on _____ when we can make it for less money and have it be BETTER? Oy. Yikes. Yeah. Well. Hmmm.

In the end, I think almost all of us start seeing that and end up saying it just like you did...I know I have 1000's of times. I am just trying to accept it and change what I can...good ol' Serenity Prayer!

There are many, many great ways I am happy to follow in my mother's footsteps. But, naturally there are also some things I'd like to avoid.
