I made a fateful discovery this weekend and I wanted to pass it along to all of my married friends. I discovered what to do when my wife has been hit by the double whammy of a baby with dual ear infections plus her getting PMS. Sleep deprivation plus hormones and emotions running all over her body. Exhaustion plus irrationality with a dash of crying or sometimes downright anger. You get the picture, right? It was a long weekend and destined to be even longer if I didn't figure out how to make amends for all of my many, and unspecified, transgressions.
Well, I figured it out. Here's what I did and you can do it, too.
First, go to the best bakery in town. The place that makes cakes a woman would kill for.
Second, pick out the triple chocolate cake. The chocolate cake with the chocolate frosting and the chocolate mousse filling and the little bits of crushed chocolate bits on the outside.
Third, tell the baker, when she asks you what you want written on the cake to just write: Sorry!
Fourth, present the apology cake to the wife. Enjoy being excused for everything bad you have done up to that point during the weekend. Hope that she saves you a slice.
I wish I had stumbled upon this method sooner. Still, better to acquire wisdom late than never at all.

Although, are you sure you're not back in the doghouse for announcing to the world that the Viking Bride is PMS'ing?
I hope you're not in trouble. IF so, go for the German Chocolate this time around. Coconut works wonders. Also, a nice white cake with raspberry and cream filling and covered in marzipan works well, too.
