Happy Valentine's Day

My valentine came home last night around midnight. I'm so happy to have him here! He had left to take the teenager to weightlifting when I got up, but when he came back I was showered with roses, a balloon, adorable kissing singing bears, and dark chocolate. i think he missed me!

We celebrate Valentine's Day as a family (at least in the early part of the evening;)) and will be having a lovely candlelight dinner complete with lasagna, salad, bread, chocolate covered strawberries and creme brulee! I'm ready for dinner now!!!

My lovely wonderful best friend volunteered, without me even asking!!!, to keep the Princess and my day care kiddo for the afternoon so I can go to the older kids parties. It's nice this year as they are still on different release times so the parties are an hour apart and I can go to both of them for the full time! Karin is hosting a little party for the girls AND feeding them lunch! What a friend!

Speaking of friends, another friend offered to do something awesome for me as well. Her youngest kid is in school all day with FE, so she has a bit more freedom than I do during the day. There's a possibility that SB may end up in a classroom taught by a truly evil person for the remainder of the year. Only half an hour once a week, but still, it's not a possibility for my daughter to be in that class. This is a safety issue for my girl. And is known by the administration, so I think they will take care of it on their own, BUT, this friend offered to drive from her home 45 minutes away from school, in the middle of the day, to sign my daughter out of school and keep her for the half hour class if necessary every other week. Basically, she'll split the chore with me to protect my daughter. That is an awesome friend as well! I'm feeling particularly blessed today.

And I can't forget to mention this friend as well. She always makes me laugh! Always!

So, Happy Valentine's Day. Enjoy your family and friends and loved ones. I know I will!
