Feeling Rushed

This whole day, with Kendall's party tonight, has this rushed feeling. Our plans to get a hamster were slightly derailed with work. So we decided to delay that until one of us can go with Kendall, either tonight or tomorrow morning.

I had tried to get a cake last night, but they closed after karate. So I called, and was told that 24 hours advance notice was needed. That set off a round of calling various stores to see who had 1/2 sheet cake, chocolate with white icing. A couple of King Soopers did, but I had to come get them. Tia had planned to help, but her conference call couldn't get moved, then it did, so I took off.

I found a bunch of 1/4 sheets at the first stop and decided to just get them outfitted with a "Happy Birthday Kendall" on top. Then it was loading up on supplies before heading home.

At 3:00, I started wrapping the couple things we had gotten, only to get sidetracked as it was 3:15 and I had to run out. Kendall wanted a trail ride, so Tia had rushed out at 3 to tack horses. I raced up to the bus stop, with spare jeans for Kendall to change into. I picked them up and met Tia at the mailbox.

Delaney and I came home and we wrapped the other gift. A good thing since Kendall walked in a few minutes later. She was hungry, her jeans rubbed, and she wanted presents, so they came back. I held her off on presents until later.

Tia came back, confirmed pizzas weren't ordered, so I went online to papajohns.com. They have a nice system, but it requires 2 hours notice. I clicked around to get the local store's number, called them, things ordered, but it still feels rushed this afternoon.

Hoping we can relax a bit once the party gets going.
