Still Dead Tired

I've been absent from blogging these past few days because I prepared for my daughter's 10th birthday party last weekend. I am dead tired yesterday and still have not recovered fully. This is one of those times where I wish I have some help in the house. I cooked and cleaned all by myself. Phew, I'm glad that I only have two kids and their birthdays are 6 months apart. LOL I cooked a total of 6 dishes: Baked Penne, Barbequed Pork Baby Back Ribs, Osso Buco, Macaroni Salad and Pancit Palabok. I also made Puto(Rice cake) and Leche Flan.

It was just a small celebration with a few close friends and their families. Some family and friends weren't able to make it. My friends Mira of Random Thoughts, Lanie of I Thought So and Lou of The Shutterbug came over despite the weather not cooperating. It took Lou and her family about 3 hours to get to our place because of the weather. Good thing I made Lou the same cake from this post. I promised to give her this cake the next time we see each other. (I hope it was worth the trip Lou! LOL) I think it also took Lanie and family almost the same amount of time because they got behind two snowplows on their way here. This is why I LOVE my friends! :o) Better end this here since I still need to google what a Mesothelioma lawyer is.

  11. Wow! So nice to have a small party with close friends. They must be true friends since they took the troubles to attend. So all your cooking and cleaning is worth it. But maybe next time, try to get some help : )

    Yes, it's all worth it. I wish help around here is cheap. :o( My parents and sister live in CA so they're too far. Sometimes I wish they live closer so I can count on them for help. Mira and Lanie have been my friends for a long time. :o)

    @Debbie
    Oo nga, pretty soon dalaga na ito. She's 4'9" na malapit na akong maabutan.
