Happy Valentine's Day!

So, what are you doing special for Valentine's Day? I guess I'm not the most creative or romatic person. Last night I went grocery shopping and picked up a card for Mike. I checked at the bakery and they had some of his favorite cookies....white chunk macadamia nut. So I got some of those. Also got some doughnuts with red, pink, and white sprinkles on them. I was going to let the kids have them for breakfast, but the boys actually went back to school today so we didn't really have time. So I guess we will have them for dessert tonight. I also am making a meatloaf in the shape of a heart for dinner. And I do have a little dollar store gift for each of the kids. So It's nothing exciting, but the kids will think it's great. And Grandma snuck over and left little gifts on our doorstep so that will be exciting!

I just realized all of this revolves around FOOD!!! Oh no.....I don't even want to know what that says about ME! Ugh!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Can you do these?????

So I've been trying these Sudoku puzzles (Thanks Dad!). I'm SO frustrated! I've tried about 5 or so and have only been able to complete one! I usually think I'm doing great until I get near the end and then numbers start not fitting in right. But I've gotten so far and I don't know how to back track to try and correct everything....so I just give up!!

If you do these puzzles, any tips would be greatly appreciated! They really are great brain excercize!

Guess what I just figured out.....

Towels that cost more really ARE better than cheap ones!

I was just working on the laundry...folding towels....and all of the sudden it hit me. I have some nicer brand bath towels that I bought way back when I was young, wealthy, and single and they are in MUCH better shape that some that I bought at Target about three years ago. The Target towels are faded and basically just haven't washed up as nice.

Hmmmm....go figure! And just so you know.....I can SEE all of you out there who are rolling your eyes at me!!!!! ;o)

The nice towels are Cannon by the way.

Missing In Action

So why have I been missing you ask??? Here's just a little bit of what I've been up to since Jan.27th (the date of my last post)......

* wiping noses....three noses times "I can't even count that high" times!

* deciphering cold medicine labels....deciding which one will bring the most good to the most people (ie. not totally messing up the WHOLE family's sleep schedule....you know, awake during the day and sleeping at night.)

* determining who is well enough to go to school and making sure they and all their stuff (back pack, lunch, papers, etc.) actually get there.

* picking sick kids up from school.

* taking Samuel to the doctor ( not related to being sick...he just had a scheduled appointment.)

* getting prescriptions filled.

* keeping up with the dishes.

* trying to get the laundry caught up.

* buying and making Valentines.

* changing videos for sick children.

* and numerous other things I can't remember!
