Happy Valentines day!

This was our Valentines day!! We have always refused to give into a "Hallmark" holiday. To Steve and I Valentine's day isn't real. I don't want a designated day to show love, I think it should be shown everyday. So our attempt for Valentines day was a "note" on the mirror (which they thought was fun), and Megan made us a cake (Yes, cake). We want our girls to show love to others daily, not expect it to be dished out. Your heart feels so full and you feel so at peace when you give to others and not expect to be given too. Steve says he's trying to raise them to be "low maintenance." Yes we know, good luck with that, haha. But they sure are cute!!

Other than that.......I am BACK, in full force. After continuing to drag butt last week, I had started to double up on meds. I figured if 1 was good, 2 must be better. (Not good medical advise that I suggest for anyone). But Thursday night I went to bed at 11:30p, woke up at 6a (no alarm, just woke up). Steve got up for work and I was standing there, drinking coffee, laughing, telling him Good Morning! His response, "Holy Cow she's back. Where did my crabby wife go?" I'm so happy to have energy, to be enthusiastic about life, to be sarcastic, and I'm sure slightly annoying to others. WHOO HOO!!! It's fun to have fun with the kids again and not be playing head games with myself just to stay functional.

So onto another week. This weekend I got to go scrap booking with friends for the weekend. The girls and Steve always like to see the progress when I get home. I'm 2 years behind yet but I'm getting caught up. I think it's a gift I can give to my girls someday, so I hope to get caught up. Brooke goes back to clinic next week and this week I meet with an orthodontic to discuss braces for Leah. Really, I'm old enough to have 1 in braces? Oh well, age is only how old you feel. I think I'm a spring chicken, hehe.
