Cooked up some lovely brownies to take over to my aunt's Memorial Day cookout tomorrow. Everyone who's coming was looking forward to seeing Georgia of course.

Mild problem: Turned out it was today, and I forgot. Ended up reducing my mom to tears because she thought we'd been wiped out in a traffic accident or something. Too late to go now of course.

Sigh. At least the brownies look tasty.

I believe that faux pas carries a penalty of extended "show mom the love" time, those tasty brownies you mentioned and perhaps the highly sought after artwork of small children.

Mom-worry carries a much higher price than 3 Our Fathers and 3 Hail Marys. Get crackin you bad thing.

Ouch. Yes. Much brownies and kid-artwork. And have a brownie for yourself, they can be quite therapeutic.

ouch - and that's a bit scary that your mom's first reaction was "they'll all dead" rather than "let's call them and see why they're late"

Well, Mom has been suffering from depression ever since Dad died three years ago, so I wasn't terribly surprised by the reaction. Fortunately she calmed down before she called our house to double check.
