forgotten

in all the post "he got a freakin' job" excitement, we forgot to celebrate Valentines Day. that's what i keep telling myself, but in reality we are waiting for the first paycheck. (which is still a few weeks away).

and quite honestly, as long as one (a paycheck) is coming in the foreseeable future, i am fine with the forgetting. (lack of celebrating)

this year, we dug out an old Cafe Rio "FREEEEEEEEE MEAL" coupon, and split a grilled chicken salad. We got "ARACHNOPHOBIA" from the library (which reaffirmed my sheer mortal terror of spiders) and called it good.

kyle remembered the kids with Reese's peanut butter hearts, and really is there anything better than chocolate and peanut butter mixed together in some high calorie treat? do you think Olivia noticed she didn't get one with her valentine from kyle?

this Valentines Day i had everything i needed: a roof over my head, my bills paid in full, food in my fridge, my husband off to work and 4 healthy kids....i am so blessed~
