Well my Valentine's weekend wasn't what I wanted, but that is okay too. The party was awesome and little did I know that would start my weekend of sleep! I was so sick after the party that I went right to bed. The next morning I thought I was feeling better but I wasn't. Emily and Danny were in town so I had to get myself out of bed, so I can take the opportunity to see them. We live so much closer now than before, but it still isn't enough time some times. That Saturday was one of them. I loved lunch at Jefferson's but I knew that those fries were going to be coming back up before the day was over. Emily wasn't feeling all that great either, so our visit was cut short by Danny who knew that we both just needed to crawl back into our beds!
The rest of the day was spent on the couch and revisiting my loaded fries. I did get to listen to lots of the Winter Olympics and the luge made me sick from all the shots they were showing. I did manage to sleep all that night too and was still not feeling well on Valentine's Day morning. The girls were so happy to give me these awesome butterflies that Steve found as an idea on the computer. The older girls each made me one and it was so great! I love that Steve would take the time to help the girls with a craft than go to the store to buy a gift.
I felt so bad that I needed to stay home from church and stay on the couch to get some more rest. I wasn't feeling up to doing much else anyway. The three hours of quiet were a blessing and a gift from Steve. I really needed the rest and the quiet. It still took all I had to get lunch ready for the family to be ready when they got home from church. It was the least that I could do since I was the one that stayed home right? Everyone loved lunch and in the evening I was finally feeling like I was getting reintroduced to the world.
The kids went to bed early and that was a great gift from them, so that Steve and I could celebrate Valentine's together. Earlier in the week I had gotten Julie and Julia from netflix, so we decided to watch that. It was a great movie and we laughed a lot! I love that we had time to watch a movie together because it has been a long time since we had a movie night.
Monday I was feeling a little bit better and Steve decided that it was laundry day. Yes we did have a whole lot to do, but why spend $50 to do laundry when we could go buy a used washer and just get it done at home?? We found a great place in Anniston and we picked up a washer for $150! I still needed a nap that afternoon when Steve went back to pick it up, but we got laundry done. I have forgotten how nice it is to do laundry at home without having to haul all of it down to the laundromat, but stay at home and just get it done. My new goal is to get caught up with laundry first and then do a small load every night from what we have worn during the day and put it away in the morning. Every day and get it done. We will see how it goes and in my perfect world it will get done! I guess that for Valentine's it is okay to buy your wife an appliance especially when she is sick and the hubby gets to do all the laundry first!
It sure wasn't a weekend of love from me to my husband, but he sure went over the top in showing me how much he loves me! From crafts to watching the kids, to laundry, to emptying my throw up bowl, to letting me get the rest that I needed, and to taking the kids to church all by himself! I know he loves me! I love you Steve and maybe one day I can make it up to you! Thank you so much for showing me all the love this weekend.
I LOVE YOU :-) ...
