Evening. Me being arrogant and Joe's birthday

Am sat here trying to get the energy up to go to bed.  How sad is that?  Behaved in a shameful manner today.  Was at a playcentre in North County Dublin where I know the owner to chat.  Had arrived in to my cousin's birthday party, he's 3, with his cake.  Car themed as requested.  Anyway, the owner saw my cake, admired it and said it was fantastic.  She later came over to say 'you have competition today', 'there is a castle on the other side of the building'.  Went to see the castle with her and quietly said 'huh, that's not competition'.  Apparently the womom who had made the cake was a professional chef and decorator.  I am neither and I swear my castles are nicer.  Yah, boo, sucks, etc.  Feel quite bad about how I reacted as not normally that self-assured.  Still, mine are nicer.
Delivered the cake pictured to Joe, who is 3, and he was thrilled and that is all you want.  Bernie made a beautiful chocolate fudge cake and I cut it to look like a race track.  Don't know if this came out of my imagination or if I saw it somewhere sometime, either way I was happy and so was he.  Kids had a great time at party too even though we were all too tired to be out and about.  Me, because I was up to late eating and drinking with friends and the kids because they insist on getting up too early.
Joe's lovely nana gave him a harmonica???  Huh, just wait til Christmas, shall give Joe a drum kit!
