The Morning After

I can't top your mom's story. That's horrible! You know that her mother-in-law is doing it on purpose. I started my day off going to a networking meeting where some of the members were fighting with the guy who started it. Then I had to mail off some packages that people had brought off me on ebay, but I didn't have enough boxes. Which required two trips to the post office. An acquitance of mine wanted help with a scrapbook, so she came over. But my house was a mess and I had to do some quick major cleaning before she got here. She ended up staying for 6 hours and then I drpve her home. Tried to make pencil holders for my scrapbooking blog and they did not work as planned, so I still haven't done my blog yet. I never even got to make cards for my kids or husband and forgot to get their gifts out of my hiding place. I found out the my son was the butt of some joke that the PE teacher told to the class yesterday. (My son is austic.) And the principal has still not called me back yet. So, I'm not happy about that. My husband on the other hand actually remembered to tell me "Happy Valentine's Day" and wrote me a great poem that almost made me cry. That made me feel bad because I didn't do anything. Oh well. Made myself some hot chocolate and went to bed.

sorry, i could not get past Waffle house as i have not been to one of these in a long time as they don't have them in my home town..but when I was in Claycomo, Missouri staying at the Holiday Inn by World's of Fun they had a Waffle House that was just opened and it was 24 hours a day...but you could pay one price and eat all you can? well, when i would take anyone there ..they called it the "Awful House" and tell stories how hated the place..but they always seemed to eat a lot of food..lol..but i could not top your story..but the part that got to me was you did not get any Valentines's lovin...shucks..that was a sad commentary..lol...i once went to visit a women with four kids and i ended up watching tv and eating popcorn..as they were teenagers and we had fun playing games..but the mom said about the same thing as she went off on her own room..duh? sorry

LOL...I had a lovely Valentines Day although not nearly as bad as what you described! Luckily s/o brought me home a rose Wednesday night...which sent my almost 5 year old son running to his bedroom in tears because he wanted a rose too! That was remedied when Daddy brought a rose home for him yesterday...Anyway, I headed out yesterday to take the same son to his preschool Valentines Day preschool party and got a flat tire...I got him there late but still got him there so that was alright. Then after I picked him back up I headed to the tire store for a new tire. The only had ONE of the right size in stock and it was way out of my budget. Luckily the owner was nice and knocked $30 off since we're regular customers. I got it put on the car and drove off. Five miles later the new tire decided it just didn't want to be on my wheel and came off! Well not all the way off but enough that I barely could get the car steered and stopped off the road...and I've only had the car for a week so wrecking it on Valentine's Day with my son in it would NOT have been a good thing. Again I got lucky and someone was kind enough to stop and help me...I am totally capable of changing a tire under normal conditions but not capable of changing one that's been air wrenched on while parked on ice with only a stupid scissor jack. So back I went to the tire store where someone more competent fixed my tire again! I finally made it back home where I'd left s/o in charge of the almost 3 year old and 15 month old only to find that he'd basically let them run wild...which thrilled the in laws since they had no idea how long I'd been gone and assumed I was the one that let everything go to heck here. Then I discovered that stepson and his girlfriend had used up every last bit of my laundry detergent so I ended up having to go to town for more just so I'd have clean clothes to wear to dinner tonight which s/o has promised we'd do for the first time since my birthday in July! Whew...I'm thinking it's a good thing Valentine's Day only comes once a year if this is the way it works out! Oh and I forgot to mention my ex-hubby totally ignoring me on myspace when I sent a Valentine comment to our two kids that are with him right now.

wow not sure I can top that. I got my husband a little stuffed devil, really cute that had candy around the neck. All he said was you didn't have to give me anything and gave it to our 2 year old son. My husband had to work that afternoon. when he came home at 1 in the morning i was asleep of course, he came and woke me up brought me into the living room and there were flowers, balloon, chocolates and a nighty. I said thank you and went back to bed, cause i was half asleep anyway. That was it.
