It's Almost Valentine's Day

I am pretty sure I have the flu.  I haven't had the official test, but both girls were diagnosed this week, and now I have all the symptoms.  I have a runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever, dizziness, and general weakness.  I can't sleep, because I can't breathe when I lay down, and I am so tired.  It's a good thing I thought ahead and bought Bob his gift last week.  There is no way I am dragging myself out of the house to shop this weekend.  I am giving myself permission to just relax and get better.

I don't know if Bob has even thought about Valentines day presents for me or the kids. I know he's not looking into Hot air Balloon flights or anything like that, but there are a few things I would like for him to consider. I read online about this class you can take with your significant other where you can learn how to make chocolates.  I would love to learn how to do that.  I would also love to go out to dinner, just the two of us, and then maybe see a movie, which is something we never get to do.

I know a lot of people think Valentine's Day is an over rated holiday, but I love it.  I love letting the kids buy treats for their dad, and I love that Bob takes them to get me treats.  I mean, it's always nice to show the people you love how much they mean to you.

Trish ~ No backsies! (is that how you spell that? spell check doesn't think so)

Trish said...

Well if spell check thinks it's wrong...maybe it's not a word at all. You know how official spell check is! LOL

I don't think Phil has thought about it either. I did get him and my boys all a little box of candy. I too would love a night out and a movie sounds wonderful. We never go out like that.
