Disfunctional Valentine's Day

It's never like the movies....at least not in my house. I don't wake up to a nice clean home, breakfast in bed, and happy healthy children running into the bedroom to kiss me good morning. Rather this morning on our 6th Valentine's Day together I wake up before anyone else as normal. I walk into the kitchen after going to bed early with sick kids last night to find a complete mess! Dinner was still left out on the stove, the door to the outside was unlocked, and the clothes wet in the washing machine were, well still sitting wet in the washing machine.
My dear husband wakes up and comes strolling out into the living room and asks, "Did you see anything in the kitchen?" My response, "Yeah, a big mess and a half eaten box of chocolates that I threw away." End of story, end of conversation...I go about my business checking on the boys and seeing how high their temperature was this morning. A couple of minutes later I walk back into the kitchen to refill my coffee cup and there sat a beautiful bouquet of tulips. Tulips are my ultimate favorite and the pale pink and yellow just made my heart melt. Also sitting by the flowers was an issue to my favorite magazine, "Mother Earth News." He did remember! He did know my favorites!! Now I'm off to tend to the sick kids. Looks like I'm going to have a day full of Motrin, coughing, and irritability but in between those moments I'll be sitting back while I can to catch a good read about gardening in my new magazine.
Thanks sweetie for a great Valentine's Day!
