What a night! I was up until 2:30 last night. My 2 and 1/2 year old must have had a nightmare. He was inconsolable for what seemed like a very, very long time. After all of my attempts at stroking his hair, rubbing and patting his back, hugs, and I love you's, I decided to sing. Why didn't I think of that sooner? As soon as I uttered "hush little baby, don't say a word," he stopped crying. (by the way, it was 2 am and that was the only song I could think of - though definitely appropriate for the situation.)
Okay, enough about my crazy night of probably only 2 hours of sleep, we are back in the bakery by 5 am, busily preparing to open. Today we are putting out a couple of new products, cinnamon rolls and dutch apple tarts. Later, I'll put a new flavor in our display case - spiced pumpkin cupcakes.
A large part of my insomnia last night had to do with my relentless mind racing of all the new baked goods I wanted to start serving at the bakery. Fall is upon us and I feel a strong need to put out more flavors and give our customers a larger variety to choose from, seasonal and traditional. Well, we'll see how far I get with that today. I'm relying on this red bull/ diet mountain dew concoction to get me through the day
