thank you daily candy

Thanks to Daily Candy for our fantastic write up today (and to those who have already placed orders!). We’re excited and overwhelmed and tired and happy. We’re going on 4 hours sleep from last night’s Mother’s Day gift box packaging extravaganza and now Mark has the fun fun task of figuring out how to carry and ship the mountain of boxes to the post office (he’ll be traveling to another neighborhood to avoid our local pokey post office branches). Of course, as is always the case when you really need to sleep in, the kids woke up early at 6am. That’s the difference between staying up late at night as a parent vs an all nighter cram session as a student - you have a ticking alarm clock that awaits you on the other side. We are also riding out the morning without caffeine. A week ago the pot to our coffee maker broke. A replacement pot arrived from Amazon yesterday, but this morning, when we really needed it, the whole damn thing stopped working. It’s probably some sort of sign.
