my valentine's blues

the past few days i've been battling some sort of cold or flu. it started off with terrible body aches, led to painful chest congestion with a cough and then of all days, on valentine's day, the fever hits me. it was very low but the chills were the worst part, and thankfully, it's been easy to control. russ was supposed to work today and i had this great crafty valentine's day planned out for the kids but since it rained russ stayed home, and boy did that work out great! i ended up lying in bed most of the day. the heart-shaped pancakes i had planned for breakfast got replaced with some valentine's dunkin donuts (i'm sure the kids didn't mind so much!) and the heart shaped homemade pizza for lunch got replaced with daddy's heart-shaped grilled cheese sandwiches. russ ended up preparing my heart-shaped meatloaf for dinner as i "coached" him on the side ;) i think the kids still had a fun day, especially since titi celena stopped by for a visit with some valentine's gifts! russ certainly won the award for "father/husband of the year" with all the extra work he did today--taking care of both kids all day long-- and a rainy day at that-- while tending to my needs at the same time! times like these i'm reminded about how wonderful my man is! he's my one and only valentine.

hope you all had a special valentine's day!

the kids helped me decorate these cookies on friday
