for eating my birthday cake with a spoon in my pajamas?

It was my 25th birthday yesterday. My dh has come out in Chicken Pox just as ds (17mo) is recovering...I'm 7 months pregnant and had to finish attaching skirting boards to our new house before the carpet turns up tomorrow.

I have decided today, to sit in my pajamas (albeit rather fetching maternity pajamas) and eat my chocolate fudge birthday cake (still in its box) with a serving spoon.

I think this is acceptable. I doubt my mother agrees.

does your mother want her own spoon then?? it would be nice to share.

;)

Happy Birthday!
You have the right attitude!

Why have you got a spoon in your pyjamas....surely it would be more useful for eating the cake?? Grin

LadyOfTheManor · 21/08/2011 11:13

I nearly used a wooden stirring spoon as the craving really hit me.

I don't even want to share any of it. I think dh will be disgusted when he returns from his death bed to find me covered in chocolate in my pajamas with crumbs in my hair and under my nails.

I didn't even save a piece for ds...but I've eaten it in such a way I can't salvage a slice...just a spoon full if that.

Pictish Grin ha! Yes, I just re read it. I'd blame it on baby brain but it's more likely to be a sugar rush...that or diabetes setting in.

The only unreasonable thing you're doing is stopping eating the cake long enough to post on here!

Happy Birthday!

Ds won't notice, put a candle in a sandwich later and blow it out

Dh will just have to accept that this is your coping mechanism

Alright, alright I see I worded it completely wrong!

For the record, the cake, nor the spoon are in my pajamas.

Grin it's all in my tummy-the cake, not the spoon, or my pajamas.

Happy Birthday!

25 is nothing, you're a young pup yet! (Speaks with great wisdom from the lofty heights of just-turned-29 :) )

LadyOfTheManor · 21/08/2011 19:08

Yes but I was reminded today that I'm close to 30 and then to death!

I think I need another cake.

YANBU, twas my birthday Weds and DS' Friday, so he had cake. We have eaten cake for breakfast and supper the past 3 days - therefore in PJ's. Grin

Used fingers though!!!

LadyOfTheManor · 21/08/2011 19:32

Purple, my love, you may reach death in a short quarter. I'd share my cake but I've eaten it all I'm a fat greedy bitch so and so and clearly don't know the meaning of sharing.
