We have had some good and some bad moments today. At the time of this post, I am smiling.
Here's the good part . . .
My kids are part of a "mini co-op" homeschool group. I love all the kids and the two other moms, and I like small groups so It's a perfect fit. We have been getting the kids together so they won't be "socially inept" but my kids might still have a problem.
Amy threw a great Valentine's party today that included waffles that were, in Josh's words, "AMAZING." I was also instructed by my kids to purchase English muffins and spray butter at my soonest convenience. I hate it when they discover new things! The boys like to get the school part over with quickly so they can move on to the wii. They had a great time and ate about 20 pounds of candy before noon.
Here are pics of my kids Valentines. I do not think they are extra cool, I just want to document my mothering skills for future reference.
Here comes the bad part . . .
I went to work for 2 HOURS today and when I came home the house that was clean this morning was trashed. I kicked Erik out and cried in my turkey sandwich. I was feeling like this . . .
Up again . . .
About 10 minutes ago my dear friend Megan brought me a wonderful treat that included fruit and chocolate - Perfect balance.
I hope I can end today on a high note. Eating chocolate covered strawberries while Erik vacuums and the kids sleep soundly.

The best thing going on at my house lately (besides the miracle of life) is hearing the vacuum cleaner running when I am not the one using it and going to sleep with a depressingly dirty kitchen and waking up to a spotless one. I don't know how I will readjust when Kayleigh graduates. Did that seem unrelated to your post? When you were talking about crying into your turkey sandwich I just realized how thankful I am at this baby blues time in my life to have someone clean some things.
The strawberries made my day too. I was carefully rationing the ones Darin gave me. Then Megan brought me more and it released the kindness in me. I let my kids enjoy them too.
Cute Valentine cards!
The valentines that you made were so cute that I hated you for a minute.
