Hi Everyone. Hope today wasn't too painful for everyone. My H never went out of his way to plan anything special for Valentines Day (or any holiday/ birthday) for that matter so I was not missing much.

I had an awesome date tonight ... with S3 and S5. I told them we were going to a fancy dinner. They insisted on wearing ties. Wish I could share a pic of my cuties. We had a great time. I am so grateful to have them in my life. I am not sure what I would do without them.

H left on his business trip (OW is other too..yuck). I was determined to leave things on a good note before he left. We got over a foot of snow yesterday so everything was shut down. H came over to shovel us out in the morning. I normally would do it myself but I could not have done it with all three kids. He spent the day at the house enjoying time with the boys. In the afternoon, we all headed out to go sledding. We had an absolute blast. H and I even got into a snowball fight and just laughed our butts off. It felt good to just let go and have fun and not worry about anything. The day honestly could not have gone better. H even said that he had a great time as he was leaving. Last time H left on a business trip I was a basket of tears freaking out about OW (definitely not attractive at all).

I still have to respond to some posts and will do that tomorrow when I have some more energy. At least we can say that another crappy holiday is behind us!!
