aww thanks everyone!! little cookie's real bday is still a few days away but today was supposed to be her party...and everything that could go wrong did. we got 3 feet of snow here outside of DC. my parents couldn't make it in. we lost power in the middle of the night and the house got really cold. at a break in the storm my DH took me and DD to the hotel where my inlaws are staying, and that's where I am now. DD is asleep and I'm hiding in the corner with my computer. DH is home freezing with the dogs. there was no party and I'm not sure when it will be. She didn't get to wear her dress or anything.
And NOW they are predicting another storm early next week that might preclude us getting into daycare for her party there. we can't catch a break.
The good news is she will never remember this but i am bummed that the only party she had was my pity party
Thanks again everyone - esp you Colette. You cheered me up.
