Good and Bad: Valentines Hum Bug

So being a happily married person I should love Valentine's day. But not this year. I have no card for Jason. No cards for the kids. I usually think that Valentine's day is one day to be fussy and cheesy, but I am not in the mood.

Ba Hum Bug. Here is the good and bad of the day.


Good:
We are leaving for Arizona tomorrow to visit family! Road Trip

Bad: I am not ready for tomorrow's road trip and have lots to do

Good: Baylie just went down for a nap and I don't think she has pink eye

Bad: I am starting to have a pink eye issues and think everything is pink eye and that it will contaminate everything and everyone

Good: Baylie survived her fall out of the crib this morning with no seen owies...Jason was in the shower and I was running. Jason said her fall sounded like the door was being slammed...Loud. And her crib is lowered...tricky little monkey girl.

Bad: I hurt my foot and couldn't run today...and its affecting my mental state. And I have guilt for ruining my running buddy's run as well.

Good: I have a wonderful husband and darling children

Bad: I told Jason not to get me a card either nor do I have him an anniversary card for Monday...I am being anti-cards. And my darling children have refused to eat my dinners this week and I'm getting a complex.

Luke "Where is the salad?" "Where is the corn?"
Me: "I can't always make salad, we are lucky to have anything tonite" "I need to buy more corn."
Luke " Why don't you make things I like? "
Me: "Mom can't eat macaroni and hot dogs everyday"
Luke "complain complain...I'm adlibing here, but you get the picture"
Me: "Hey, how many kids are there? 3 How many mom's are there? 1 Luke, it is hard being the mom! and I'm doing the best I can"
Luke: "And its only going to be harder and harder." Now we are speaking the same language.

Good: I have a two bag supply of chocolate to get me through the day. Once I eat all that I still have hot chocolate I can resort to. This should be listed as a 'bad' as well. Thank you Dove!

p.s. i think valenitne's day is a totally lame holiday forcing us all to be romantic along with the rest of the world. so i feel bah humbug about it every year. i think it's much better to show your love all the time.

I have always said that Valentine's Day is my least favorite holiday.I actually despise it. We aren't doing anything exciting either if that makes you feel any better. Well,have a great time in AZ.

I'm not so into valentine's either and as usual Eric got me a card and I couldn't face the store with 2 kids so I don't have one for him, same usually goes for birthdays and Christmas. To make up for it though I think I'll get him a cherry pie later on, his favorite. Maybe you could get Jason a cheescake and ice on it and it could be a card and gift in one.
