Jellybean Bought Me Flowers

I had a spot of professional frustration and disappointment this past week. While doing my best to work through it without drowning myself in mint chip, I guess my family noticed. I was grocery shopping with Jellybean this past weekend and he saw a sale bin of flowers.

I could see him eyeing the flowers up and down. After a bit he looked up at me said “Mommy, can I get you these flowers? Because I love you so much and they will make you feel better.” It took all my strength not to cry my eyes out standing in the Dillons checkout lane. So I let him pick his favorite color and added them to my cart. No matter that I paid for my own flowers, I just picked up my big hearted four year old and hugged him as tight as he would let me.

I wish you all a good week and that someone loves you as much as Jellybean loves me!

Valentines Day Surprise!

I love my parents! For as long as I can remember my dad has always made sure to send flowers to ALL his special ladies. He sends gifts to my mother, my sister, his mother, his mother in law, and I. I don’t have a particular desire to celebrate V-day especially as its mostly a commercial holiday. But it melts my heart how sweet my daddy is. He is such a great and honorable man that words cannot express how much I love him. And there is just something about flowers (especially at work on my desk) that just make me smile!

On the home front the husband and I had a cozy dinner for two at home. T-bone steak for him and salmon fillet for me both with fresh salad and steamed veggies. We shared a mini Sara Lee Cheesecake just because. By alas, the husband had to go to his Int Algebra class so I was left to knit on the couch with a glass of wine in my stretchy pants.

Ain’t married life grand!!
