Hope that Everyone...

had a wonderful Valentine's day. Mine started out a little shaky. I was working on my circle journal for round 2 when I got a call from Cam's school saying that he was sick so I needed to come and pick him up. Yes, sick. So we go and pick him up and he's running a fever and coughing and sleepy. So we get home and I give him medicine, put him to bed and Payton starts coughing like crazy. So bad that she couldn't stop. Mind you, we just went to the doctor for a check up on Tuesday and she was FINE. The majority of the afternoon was spent with one on each lap on the rocker with them coughing like crazy and me praying that I don't get it. So, here we go again. My children have been sick more in the last 2 months than they've been in their entire lives. Payton especially. She's hardly ever sick. I have a hunch that it could be due to the fact that on Tuesday it was 70 degrees and on Wednesday it was 48 degrees, today won't get over 45 and by next week, it'll be 72. That could be the problem.

So Eric comes home and I'm expecting him to leave for his basketball game, but he decides not to go because it's Valentine's day. And he gives me this
I was shocked. I really wasn't expecting anything, because we normally don't do too much for Valentine's day. I have been wanting to buy an ipod with my painting money. But, he surprised me with one. Shocked I tell you. So now I feel totally guilty and need to go out and find him something great for Friday. I'm in the process of handmaking his card but I wasn't quite finished. After supper, we put the kids to bed and watched American Idol and Lost. I'm not gonna go into the details about lost because we have a new blog for that, but let me just say that that was the closest I've ever come to dozing off during that show. From intense last week to nearly sleep inducing this week. What a difference a week makes. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great, to me.

I kept Cam home today to make sure he gets better. Tomorrow night is grandma's house for them and date night for us. They HAVE to go, I tell ya. I've been looking forward to it for 2 weeks. So they must get better. LoL. I'll keep ya posted. Happy Thursday! :)
