Boy are you going get in trouble for looking

I guess that explains the chocolates and flowers

 

[PrincessMom2002]

"You noticed?"

Of course!

Uh Karen, not that I've been looking or anything, but, uh, he's right!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Just baked the Valentine's Day cupcakes for the girls class party for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!The rain is coming down here...!!!!!!!!!

Now thats a tough one,

Leaving work and driving in this mess for cupcakes?

Tempting

I'm on my way! Who's hitching a ride with me? You in Ed?

Seriously though Kristin, are you feeling better? Got everything ready for the party tomorrow?

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Abby, my parents spent their lives fighting each other - it was horrible to witness. But at least I learnt it wasn't for me!! I'm a glass half-full kinda person and my DH is a wonderful man so I accept his screw-ups, he accepts mine and we stay happy...

Karen-
It was very similar for me too. I vowed never to live like that. There is always something good that comes from situations like that. I learned so many things about what I didn't want too. It disturbs me though because a couple of my siblings do similar things to their kids as my dad used to do to us. I don't agree with their tactics because of how it made me feel as a kid, but I'm not them. At least my kids won't have to endure it. I'm sure I'll scar them in other ways. I can't wait until they are older and I'll make sure to embarrass them in public!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Good morning everyone!! How are things?

Hi Ashley!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Same here - certainly couldn't have made it 14 years! DW also accepts the fact that I am a general goof-ball, too!!

I don't think DH really accepts my silliness but he tolerates it! Most of the time he doesn't get it, but he puts up with it all the same. I am striving to pass it on to my children. So far DS is a willing student.

 

[PrincessMom2002]

They do the 100th day thing there, too?!

Schools open here, but I'm working from home today

DS's 100th day was one day last week, and DD's is next Wednesday. (I'm not sure why they are so far apart because DD only started school a couple of days after DS. )

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Now, we are baking mini heart shaped cakes for our dessert tomorrow...

What is everyone doing for Valentine's Day???

That sounds fun! I didn't end up baking with the kids. DS got bombarded with homework tonight, I'm thinking since there was no school yesterday.

No V-day plans here. DH is out shopping right now I"m guessing for tomorrow. He didn't say. It must be some covert operation.

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Just sent DW a huge arrangement of roses, balloons, chocolates, etc. I'm sure that'll make her day!

Wow!! What a guy!!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Just got back from the doctor. She has strep throat. As funny as it may seem this is the best case scenerio, she will be better by Friday and she can go swimming. If it was the flu or an ear infection we probably wouldn't have been able to go away. I just hope me and hubby don't get it.

Sharon-

That's good news it's not worse!! I hope you can go as planned and have a terrific time!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Good news, my Dad is getting out of the hospital!! I think we will have to keep an eye on him, until he can see his regular doctor- possibly tonight or tomorrow.

Nikki-

That is promising!! Did you get any answers?

My kid just rolls her eyes at me when I get going

Abby, I thought you and Ed would have been here by now. We even made individual heart shaped cakes that say the kids names on them for tomorrow...
My cold seems to have resolved itself for now. Off to the dr. on Friday for a recheck from the surgery. Lets see what he says about that..

Yes, cupcakes, craft it is all ready for school tomorrow. I will put them on the bus and be right behind them to come and do their craft, and party....UGH!!!!!! How did I ever do all this when I was a teacher??? I'm beat now and I'm not even the teacher!!!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

Have fun tomorrow! Maybe it's different when you are a teacher because it's just part of the job?? I dunno. I frankly don't know how teachers do any of it and still keep their sanity!!! I'm overwhelmed with only two kids' school stuff, let alone a whole classroom.

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Anyone, watching Wife Swap?????

No. Not watching anything. Heck, the tv hasn't even been on this evening. DS read a penguin book for homework and he and DD have been pretending they are penguins, and DS is reciting penguin facts to me. DH just popped his head in and told me I was missing Big Brother. I don't care tonight. I just want to go to bed!!! LOL
