All I have to say after this week is TGIF (well almost Friday. It's an hour to bedtime so I think that counts.) We had a busy week with fun activities and (mainly) otherwise. Tim and Eion were sick early on in the week. T was throwing up while E was just coughing and feverish. But as any regular reader knows, this is all it takes for him to keep me up all night - two nights in a row. By Wednesday, they were both feeling better and I was thrilled that school was only two hours delayed.
I made the fatal error of Picking The Wrong Fight. Morrigan picked out "the bow dress" to wear. Why I cared, I am not sure but I tried in vain to convince her to wear something red or pink, which mind you, she does several times a week normally. After tears etc, she won and wore the coveted bow dress. [Ironically, this morning when I let her pick out her clothes, she chose the dress I wanted her to wear the day before. Like I said, wrong fight.] So I loaded them all up to go to the gym before school started at 11am. They were having a Valentines party there so the kids were happy & I was glad to finally make it to the gym this week.
I basically spent the balance of my day at Valentine's Day parties (see pictures above.) I didn't get anything done but the girls were happy to have me with them. I made a Valentines train cake for Morrigan's class that was well received. Not really sure where this urge to make elaborate desserts came from...
After all the parties, the kids completely crashed from their sugar high and moved into "drive Mommy to drink" mode. I don't know how things are in the rest of the world, but this holiday is completely out of control here. Morrigan & Maggie came home with a gallon ziplock bag of candy between them. When did Valentine's Day become Halloween? Don't get me wrong, I think chocolate is the 5th food group but I don't see why every Valentine's Day card has to be accompanied by a candy bar. And yes, I know I am ranting but it has been a long week.
But brighter skies are on the horizon. We are playing poker tomorrow night and have a fun black tie party on Saturday. And I am only one week away from my lasik surgery!
