Bad Moods and More Cupcakes

Was there something in the air today? Our family was a little miserable. Cranky. Fussy. Whining. Just yuck in general. After the craziest fifteen minutes trying to get out the front door (read: me losing my temper), I thought we all needed a little post-music class chocolate. I've been wanting to stop in this bakery for a long time. It's one of Emily's favorites. She brought me some of their cupcakes once and they were delicious. Tyler picked out a sprinkle cookie, and an extra one for Audrey. I told the girl I needed chocolate and she recommended the Dalmatian Cupcake - white cake with mini chocolate chips, chocolate buttercream on top. Oh. My. Yum. Here's a picture to drool over:
Unfortunately it only temporarily solved our fuss issues. Tonight I picked up this book thanks to an early birthday present from my Encino Girls. Kids are in bed. Adam is home early. A little 17 Again. Things are already looking up. On to better days and waking up to (hopefully) whine-free children... Okay, and a grump-free me, too.

I need to hear what you think about the book. I read a few years ago and I found it a little frustrating....I'll explain why when you're done.

Tina - I'm slow getting into it so far. Not completely captivating yet.

Seriously, cupcakes make EVERYTHING better, even if it is only temporary :)
