Valentines Day!
So I am sure that Valentine's Day for some of ya'll is a wonderful romantic day, I felt the same til I had kids in school! I have now become the Valentine's Day scrooge. This is due to the fact that I have to spend the night before Valentine's Day writing out 35 different Valentines for kids that cannot even read what they say, and unless there is candy involved they want nothing to do with it! The other fun thing is going to Target that same night and fighting the 1,000's of people (mainly men) buying last minute gifts for their wives so they can check it off their list. Now I am sure that there are some guys who truly love buying flowers and cards for their wife, but lets face it, for most men it is a last minute stop so they will not miss out on the "romance" of Valentine's night!:) On returning home from this wonderful trip I told my husband to please never be one of those men! I did get to enjoy a wonderful dinner with Mark and some friends that helped me recover from the day. So in conclusion, yes I was bitter, but I have recovered for now until next year when Parker is in kindergarten and I actually have to attend a party!

Missed you guys tonight. Okay please call or email and tell me how you get pictures of the books your reading on there! I can't figure it out! Okay talk to you tomorrow. Let me know if you want to go to the gym...even if we only run a couple of miles while the kids are napping! Love you!
You're so right. After teaching elementary I decided Valentines Day was my least favorite day of the year...b/c parents and kids go a little over-board! It was always craziness. I also went to Wal-Mart last year the night before, and vowed to never do that again! ;)
Hope y'all are having a good weekend!!
Let's start a Valentine's Day party at elementary school boycott! I felt like a scrooge throwing my kids' Valentine's away in the trash along with ALL the candy. I can't stand all that candy! Thankfully, they are quick to forget and move on.
I used to love those parties!!
you've been tagged. check my blog.
I'll be there unless we're sick! Even though, I don't feel much like biting and scratching other ladies trying to claim a spot. I hate that about that class!
