Hope everyone is enjoying this over-rated-yet-I-still-love-it-holiday! Mine started with my husband waking up early (he has to be at work at 7) to make me a delicious breakfast including bacon, hash browns, fruit and cinnamon crescent rolls. He also took Duke out (usually my job) all before he woke me up at 6 :) Duke felt left out so he snuck into the kitchen and pulled a ninja move and licked some bacon grease...so I made him some brown rice so he would feel better (I do this about once a week due to all the things he eats when I leave the room). Loved eating breakfast with my husband, it was a perfect gift!
I started babysitting yesterday for 3 girls after school. They are so sweet and very interesting actually. The 10 year old is the size of the 7 year old and the maturity of a 30 year old. She reads pregnancy and baby books in prep for babysitting and because she wants to be an OBGYN. She also taught me some french yesterday, a wonderful surprise since I need to start learning some for our big move (Belgians speak french and Flemish). While we were at her sister's dance lesson yesterday the other kids were asking her to do multiplication problems on the spot, she rocked it. Proud babysitter here. When I was eating reduced fact cheese-its yesterday she asked if I am trying to stay skinny, and I said "sure". Her response, "How come? You are married." Told you, she is wise beyond her years. Her younger sister and step-sister (blended family) are sweet as can be too and I enjoyed dancing to Katy Perry with them and talking about their crushes at school. So they have different interests but so much fun!
I love having a valentine today but I must say that some of my "single" valentines days were the best. Hard to beat being surrounded by your best girlfriends celebrating singleness. And by celebrating singleness, I mean watching the Notebook and drinking wine and crying with your best friends on V day. Great college memory!
