Valentines Day

I'm not a huge fan of Valentines Day. Maybe because it is in the dog days of winter and I'm in a constant bad mood. Or it could be that the holiday itself is just cheesy, full of lovey-dovey garbage. I realize I may get some haters because I'm not a fan of Valentines (Brandie, I know your coming for me.) I just think it is a stupid reason to spend money on flowers, cards, and candy. Shouldn't we be telling our loved ones everyday that we love them - and I don't need a piece of candy to do that. But, we celebrated anyway, in a small way.

Rory took the kids to a birthday party so I snuck away from work and planned a special dinner for the family. I rushed home and made dinner to surprise them when they got back. I realized I didn't even own a tablecloth, I know that is ridiculous. My neighbor saved the day with a fancy white tablecloth. We dined by candlelight with my Grandma's china and wineglasses. The kids pretty much thought I was the coolest mom in the world. It's the small things.......
