My son’s birthday falls right around, or on, Father’s Day, so that takes precedence. I’m baking him a whiskey cake right now - our tradition - and I bought him some amazing used books when I took a break from unpacking boxes and headed to a used bookstore I’d driven by on my way into town.
I was pretty hyped up yesterday, after three days of extreme activity and then driving really fast to get home in record time (avoiding cops and using up far too much fossil fuel), but today I’m dragging. I actually slept for a couple hours this afternoon. Unfortunately my parents have two choices for guests, either an old mattress that breaks every bone in your body or a small couch made for an eight year old child. After an awful night spent on the mattress, I took the couch. It was the lesser of two evils. I’d have slept on the floor, but I’m a bad floor-sleeper.
Wish I could be more creative for you, but I’m pretty tapped out.
Tomorrow a better post. Sorry.

Happy Birthday to your son Julia! Whiskey cake sounds yummy. I’ve only had rum cake before. I’m on the quest for a good mattress this week, myself. Hope you get to catch up some good sleep. Have a great week.
Happy Birthday to your son and Happy Father’s Day to your DH!
Happy Birthday to your son! Happy Father’s Day to your hubby! Sleeping at the relatives is rarely successful-even if they have a bed-because it’s not home. The hunk and I have a king. My daughter has a queen. My parents have a double…can you see where I’m going here? I’m always relieved to get back home! I love my kids and parents, but home really is where our hearts are.
Anny - I have the best bed in the world! I’m not the greatest sleeper anywhere, but I do sleep much better at home. It’s very true. What is it with our parents generation - these double beds?
Thanks, Amber - you too!
Thanks, Delilah - I’ll try to post a photo of the whiskey cake, it was my great aunt’s recipe. Nobody makes it but our family. It’s not what you think, not like a rum cake. Very different.
Good luck finding that mattress and happy father’s day!
Glad you’re home! Happy B-Day to your son, Happy Father’s Day to your hubby…have a great day (and a great sleep!)….
Penny
I’m happy you’re home safe. Enjoy the whiskey cake Father’s Day, and a very happy birthday to your son!
