Surviving the Domestic Jungle

So, it seems the world didn’t end. Im not surprised but the topic made for some interesting conversations. I was living in the dark ages or something because I had NO CLUE the end of the world was upon us until I heard it on the radio 2 days before. I need to watch the news more often or read the newspaper or something. Thankfully, the world did not end and life has gone on as usual. I would have been really pissed if it was over because I had my niece’s first birthday party last night and it was a party I had been looking forward to for a long time. It may have been a baby party but it was all adults and a few kids. It was really fun! My little niece is just adorable and my brothers in-laws are really just the nicest people. Its not very often we go to parties and I decided to take on a huge responsibility: The babies cake. This is a huge deal and after I said I would do it, I got nervous. There is a lot of pressure when it comes to the cake and especially a kid cake. There were specific requirements of the cake being in the shape of a duck and being yellow. I was so tense that I made a prototype the day before just in case I couldn’t handle it the way I felt it should be, and had to order one. Luckily, I came up with a cake that was pretty cute and when I arrived at my sister-in-laws parent house, they were in love with it and complimented me all night. Well, I just felt like a million bucks! My cake was pretty big and there was nothing left by the end. Everyone ate my cake and commented on my cake and I was really proud of myself. My brother and sister-in-law were happy and so was my niece and that was all that really mattered to me. If the world ended, I wouldn’t have been able to make the now infamous duck cake and so thank you God for not bringing the rapture!!
