Valentines, runny noses, and new hair

I had known for awhile that I would be alone on Valentines. I really didn't care. Not like we were going out anyway right? ha. Besides we spent friday celebrating with Everett because of his school party and then another Valentine's party at Jack's parents on sunday, sadly without Jack. Jack had to fly out Sunday and would be home late Tuesday night. I really was not bothered in any way, shape or form that I would be alone. It's like any other day right? wrong. I had a horrible night sleep and awoke to cranky kids with never ending runny noses. I skipped on showering, because I really wanted to hop on the Elipitcal (I usually run, but when Jack is gone that is the only option). So, between Harry who was in destruct mode and Jane who wouldn't sleep for longer than 20 mins. and Everett who was asking 5 million questions. I was burnt out by 11:00 am. Honestly. I was in total 'Bad Mood mode'. You would of thought that the three surprise visits from cute women in my ward would have made me feel better. Not in the least. I was without a shower remember? The house was a mess, and I hate my house not looking good for company and I double hate me looking nasty when company comes over. To add to the list they sure did bring amazing cookies, which the boys and me devoured. great. Remember my plan to get on the Eliptical? By 4:00 I was depressed, and was wondering if 5:00 was too early to put the kids to bed. ha. Instead we went and got some burgers (did not go inside, I'm insane, but I am not that crazy) We came home ate them up and then baths it was! The boys laughed uncontrollably in the bath because they discovered the bubbles in the water when they 'toot' gross, gross, gross but I couldn't help but laugh to myself. Book time and then on to the 'Tiger Game' which lasted about three seconds due to the fact that Jane was really confused and concerned for my safety. Our final 'new nighttime' routine now consists of all of us laying in Everett's bed while he tells us stories. It was magical, and lifted my spirits. I love my children.

Exhausted at 7:00 pm with the kids in bed I flung myself on the Eliptical and pounded my hardest. The events of the day were discouraging and well, sometimes we get in bad moods right? I called Jack (who I hadn't heard from all day, except for a sweet text earlier in the morning) and was disappointed when he 'couldn't talk right now' and would 'call me later'. Thanks babe, its only Valentines day and I am alone and you don't have the time? I was right back in my bad mood. He did however tell me that his meeting was canceled tomorrow so he would be able to get an earlier flight back home the next day. awesome. but still a little bugged. After 2 hours of watching HGTV. I still hadn't heard from Jack and started to really get irritated and worried. Really? Why would you not be able to call me right now? its like 11:00 in Dallas! uh. Then I got a text that said "I can't talk right now everything is okay." Alright, whatev. I'm tired. It's been a long and exhausting day so I cleaned up a bit and decided to go to bed. As I was cleaning the house at 11:54 p.m. in walked my Valentine the most beautiful sight I had ever seen, and just in time for Valentines Day.

Happy Valentines day!
