Valentines Day

Yesterday I attended Caleb’s preschool Valentines Day party with him. It was a lot of fun and he got a lot of cool cards and candy. I made lolipops and attached Caleb’s valentines cards to them for his classmates, they turned out to be really cute. So I was in full Valentine mode yesterday. I even made pink and white chocolate covered pretzels, they also are really cute and yummy! I took those to a home interior party at my moms house last night. Two of my girlfriends went with me and it was fun. I was dissappointed, but not too suprised, to come home to a messy house, there were even still dishes in the sink. Caleb even went to bed early for once while I was gone so he was up early today and that was frustrating as well. Boaz had been with me at the party and he had been awake most of the day, I’m beginning to think it was because I drank a lot of soda w/ caffiene yesterday which is something I dont normally do. So yesterday was a busy social day,quite the opposite to today so far.

Since Caleb was up early I was up and out of the house early, it felt like it was nearing noon but we were at the grocery store at only 9 am! So now the day is going slowly. I ended up forgetting to buy one of the main things I went to go to the store to get and it was too cold to get the kids out of the car and go back in so I just came home. So now I’m trying to decide what to do since I cant do what I wanted to without it. Blah!

In return for my night out last night Dean is going out tonight, as if he wouldnt have gone anyway but still…..so he had one kid to care for last night while I was out and the kid went to bed early for him, tonight for me will be me and two kids and the kid never goes to bed early for me. we’ll see. friends are coming over this evening to hang out with us so hopefully he’ll be tired and crash at a reasonable time. This is turning out to be a boring entry so I’ll go. No Valentines plans for us this weekend, I’m kind of bummed about that, but not sure we’d be able to leave Boaz for long yet so it doesnt really matter. I’m making a cookie cake for a friends husband that will say “will you be my valentine” I wish I had come up with the idea myself but I’ll be glad to see how it turns out. I cant think of anything to get my own hubby as he keeps going and buying himself new gadgets with our tax money so he’s left nothing for me to get him. I probably wont even try to be creative about it, I ‘ve thought for a while about what to get him and keep drawing blanks. I am doing the same with picking out a birthday present for a friend. it’s like my brain just isnt working these days, no suprise, I talk to a baby and a three year old all day, not stimulating enough to keep the wheels turning.

I am trying to prepare caleb for the day soon when we will take the dog to a shelter. On top of all of her other issues she greeted us twice this week to poop and pee all over the living room. We take her out at least once before we ever leave home and the first time this happened we had been gone for less than 2 hours. She’s not sick either. I truly believe it’s her way to try to get attention since we havent been able to give her much not to mention I’m so mad at her most of the time I have no desire to show her any attention. Caleb doesnt want her to leave and I know it will be hard on him but right now it’s too hard on me and my nerves to deal with it anymore. I wish I could change my attitude but the dogs behavior isnt helping any. I want her to be in a home where’s she’s loved, right now the only one who shows her any love is Caleb and even then she’s starting to get rough with him. Speaking of which they are running around like crazy and I need to address it before it gets out of control…..
