Friday Night
The title has nothing to do with the pics. It is friday night, I am EXHAUSTED from the week, and want to do nothing more than lay on my bed catching up on my fav tv shows on Hulu. This is a normal week for Mama Val:
Monday: Get kids to school/Gma's house, I go to school, then work, then school, rush home to take babysitter home then get kids in bed.
Tuesday: DAY OFF!!! Get kids to school, go to the gym, pick up Grey from school, HOMEWORK, laundry, grocery shopping, pick Lucy up from school, take Lucy to 2 hour gymnastic class, HOMEWORK, clean, HOMEWORK, kids in bed (except for Grey cause he HATES going to bed).
Wednesday: See Monday
Thursday: Get kids to school/Gma's house, work until I can't think any longer, rush to the gym, pick Grey up from Gma's, pick Lucy up from school, have friends over, deep clean the entire house including mopping and vacuuming, make dinner (sometimes), HOMEWORK, bedtime.
Friday: Get kids to school/Gma's, work all day, pick up kids from Gma's (before we leave I always sit down by mom and talk, I need some mom time), home, dinner, then I sit on my bed watching Hulu while the kids play and fight, bedtime.
Weekends are insane. I usually have to go to school or work or something, I shop a little, HOMEWORK A LOT, try to get to the gym, and possibly make dinner. Sunday is church and HOMEWORK.
Now this is just an outline of my days. There are usually 10,000 other things going on between said activities. Seriously. And once in awhile I take a deep breath and enjoy the little moments (see below). But we are happy, we love our house, we love each other, and we keep going week after week. Pretty amazing little life we have. And of course an ENORMOUS thank you to Gma and Gpa for taking care of the 3 of us day after day, week after week.
(yes he is tickling himself. he was supposed to be getting ready for school or for the bath or for bed-I really can't remember but he wasn't doing it. he WAS making himself laugh though. and mama too)

Right now....
I should be heading up to my parents's for a yummy sunday dinner of roast beef and mashed potatoes (the dinner we have EVERY single sunday growing up because it is Jim's fav), but I am sitting at my kitchen table listening to the kids screaming (with joy) in our backyard playing in the snow. There has been very little snow days this year and I just can't bring myself to stop the happiness. Nothing better than knowing they are in complete kid heaven.
VDay 2012
Started the previous weekend. Both kids needed Valentine boxes for school. I HATE making Valentine boxes!!!! Nightmares from childhood when my mom game me a shoebox and shiny heart stickers. And that was it. So my box always looked like a shoebox covered in stickers while other children had cool, creative one. So although it cause me some PTSD, I helped the kids make some awesome ones-and spent not one cent on them (coolest part!) Grey "helping"......
BESTEST EVER!!!!!! Lucy's was a locker and for some reason we never took pics. All that mattered was that she LOVED it and kids at school said it was cool. (Mattered to me anyways)
Of course we made sugar cookies-Lucy wasn't feeling well so it was just boy and me.
What my two Valentines woke up to on VDay morning. Both were super excited :)
Grey was with me when I picked out a VDay outfit for Lucy. He INSISTED that he got a Valentine shirt also. He was soooo happy when he opened it and put it on. The cutest boy EVER!
I was in charge of Lucy's classroom party. I love doing them and being the "cool" mom. Lucy playing musical hearts :) She won!!!
This was one of the best VDays I had ever had. My friends spoiled me with eclairs, lunch, and love messages. Brian B. was so amazing that he not only got Quinnette two dozen cake bites, but me as well! And Darcie Ann sent me chocolate covered strawberries. It was all so good and I felt so loved, although I didn't exactly love that I actually gained a whole pound from all the love. (yes, I realize that I didn't have to eat them ALL within 2 days but I just couldn't stop...I had them for bfast, lunch, dinner)
Valentine night came and we were all exhausted from the sugar rushes and activities. But Lucy had one last surprise, Adam sent her flowers and a stuffed animal. We all had a great love day.
