- Up all night with teething baby
- Errands all day long with grumpy baby and grumpy five year old
- Locked keys in trunk of car at Costco, had to call locksmith, then neighbor to save me (neighbor saved me, locksmith no-showed)
- Finished errands after stupidity delay was over
- Still grumpy baby and still grumpy five year old demand attention while attempting to make the caramel - so more stupidity prevailed and I walked away from the pot - knowing fully that I was hosing myself
- Yup. Hosed myself. Burnt caramel - and not in a good way. Very burnt. All you can taste is burnt.
- Resulted in yummy tasting brownie cake, with very burnt caramel on top (because I had to at least finish what I started to make sure it wasn't salvagable) = waste of ingredients that just irks me.
- Oh, and just in case that day didn't sound crappy enough some idiot kid just pranked my cell phone to tell me it was ghostbusters calling, which, since my phone wasn't listed anywhere before Aidan's school phone book, means we have moronic children now calling and pranking parents on the phone list. Great.
- And, I'm not done yet - we tried to install new antivirus on the computer, which of course, has resulted in the computer basically breaking down and having NO internet connection, even though everything says it is connected just fine. Great. Two and a half hours later and "support" finally gets to me, then disconnects after no help at all.
So, sorry my loves, but at this point, I have only these pictures of a cute, inedible brownie cake and a bad attitude to offer. Top that off with life being crazy for the past week and me basically disappearing from commenting on anyone's blogs (so sorry for that and I REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate you coming here because it is the one bright spot in all this mess!!!!!) and what we have here is one crapper of a day.

Sorry about your crappy day. Talk about pouring huh? Well I think we are all entitled to crappy days when whining does us good. {{HUGS}} will change your frown upside down. :)

YIKES! What a day! Hope things pick up for you soon. Bright side... the pics look tasty! :)
I'm right there with you - this cake turned out well for me, but everything else is craptastic. *hugs* I hope that getting everything out helps, and that your week improves! *more hugs*
You managed more than me by getting the caramel made! The recipe made me run like a coward. Yours looks frigging great even if it's burnt tasting. I love you soooooo much!
*HUGS*
SAD! I hope today goes better for you, Holly.
If it's any consolation at all--your cake looks great. :) If I'd had enough pecans, I would have used those instead.
Ugh! I hate those types of days! I hope your days only get better! The pecans looks great. What a different flavor that must give the cake!
(((hugs)))
I hate days like that.
I can SO understand about a teething baby. :) Hope your week gets better soon!
I hate it when crappy days happen.... Well, at least you had this delicious cake to brighten up your day!!
sorry about the mess, but it still came out looking great!!
Oh damn, that is one craptastical day. If it's any consolation even if they taste like ass they're still totally adorable.
Hmm. Sounds poopy. Grumpy kids and burnt sugar. Just poopy. Hope it all calms down soon!
Oh no! What a crummy day! Hope it all slows down for you and gets better soon! For what its worth, though, your cake really looks delicious - those pecans look amazing!!

:( No fun at all! Your cake still looks beautiful though, even if it didn't turn out tasting good. *hugs!*
I'm sorry you're sooooo busy and perhaps overwhelmed with everything... but I'm sure the lovable part of wathcing your children eating that cake, with sticky fingers and gooey faces... is the perfect reward, for all that work, no?
How I would love mine to still be small... enjoy!
BRAVO!
At least your cake looks cute!
Sorry you had such a bad day/week!
Your cake looks amazing, even if you had a horrible day and you couldn't even eat it. The height of the cake, the pecans, wow.
I feel for you though. Bad days are the worst. Sorry, hope everything looks up for you!
You are still incredible! Good job on the cake .. I love those big ol pecans. YUM!
Are we related? ;)
Is Calgon still on the market? You need the Costco size after this day.
Not the best day, ha? I'm sorry about that and the burnt caramel and the pranking kid, and everything...but at least the cake looks pretty, right?
=)
Sorry things haven't been going well. I hope they get better soon. This looks fabulous!
Even if your cake is inedible, it still looks delicious. Hope the rest of your week goes better. I hate those crap days.
Hope tomorrow is a better (MUCH BETTER) day for you. The cake looked good...does that count? :o)
at least it looks good!!! I hate wastage as well and it is so disappointing when things dont turn out as you expect
oh what a day. I'll cry on you when Seven finally gets some more teeth and I lock my keys in the car, okay?
Maybe we can bang our heads in together. These brownies look good, despite the burn. I can't smell or taste it from here.
oh, hugs to you--what a crappy day! i hope your wednesday was brighter! :)
Sorry you had a bad day! Your cake is gorgeous though. I am sure a piece of this would cheer anybody up!
Oh,darn. Some days are just like that. Hope tomorrow is a little brighter. That pie and this cake should be just the mood lifter.
Now, that sounded like tough day! :( Hopefully, it's past, and you're on to greener pastures! Burnt caramel or not, your cake looks fantastic!
ouch, sometimes it all just piles on at once :( i hope things are improving!! in any case, the cake looks lovely :)
At least it was cute? Hope Wednesday is better!
Sometimes it's all you can do not to pull your hair out and scream at the top of your lungs, but just think, it helps you to appreciate the good days!
Sorry for your troubles this week. It still looks great!
awww i am sorry you had a crappy day and a busy week!! the cake looks wonderful, sorry the caramel burnt :(
So sorry your day turned out like that. Hope your week is getting better!
Wow...it takes WAY less than that to get me totally off track for the day, and you managed to make a gorgeous cake. Hope the rest of the week treats you much better...
Oh, arghh! Hope life is treating you better now. Very best wishes to you.
Wow, I'm impressed that you were able to post at all after all that's happened!! Your mini version looks good, though!
