How do you handle Monday mornings... tell you what... they have never been one of my favorite days.... I have always thought that Monday should be part of the weekend.... well that makes Tuesday the new Monday so what would be the difference....
However, I feel different about Monday, today somehow.... first it's Valentines day... ok big deal.... we need a day to tell someone we love how much we love them????? I remember when my kids were young I made a big deal out of Valentines day..... I baked cupcakes with my boys, filled goody bags with fun little things and we made a special one for their teachers.... everyone in their classes got them.... we did this every year... then we would have a special dinner because they were my Valentines too....
I remember one year.... I woke up one Valentine's morning and my entire fridge was painted with a giant red heart that said "I love you" inside of it... my kids loved it.... how sweet was that..... My ex-husband was never one for this kind of spending... he always thought that Valentines was another retail holiday.... so a card maybe but this was special...... it was great... special alright... he thought he used washable markers.... ummmm nope..... soooo funny......
My mom still sends me a card - in the mail.... she sees me all the time because we work together but she still sends a card... I have always bought chocolates and flowers for my office staff every year... but this year.... well.....not so much... maybe when I get back I will surprise them......
I got up this morning to a puppy kissing my ears, and Ossie yelling "Happy Valentines Day Honey..." if you know Ossie you know how loud he is.... funny guy....... asked me last night if I would like to go for dinner today... umm nope... not until I have my results from the doc....
Am I punishing myself for some reason..... maybe..... maybe it's a way of focusing more like it... I feel like I just don't want to be in public that much yet... not until I am cleared for take off..... then I can face people as the ask.... or I put my very best healthy happy face forward....
Man, I have so much I want to do..... I am feeling pretty good really..... ya until I folded 2 baskets of laundry, hunted for toothpaste, made the bed, made breakfast, did our dishes and fed the dog. Ok what's this out of breath thing.... have I gained like 200lbs that I dont know about since I have been hanging out in jammies..... more to carry around???? Next week Weight Watchers for sure!!!!
So back in my fav chair in my corner I sit.... pooped again... come on it will be 2 weeks tomorrow... this was not major surgery like my hysterectomy was... now there was a surgery..... no wonder they tell you 6 weeks recovery there.... I do believe the anesthetic takes so much out of you... and truth is I am not 26 anymore..... nope not even 36..... so instead... I will spend today... reading, writing and Yvette said she is coming over.... this is good....
Hey as of today I only have 2 sleeps to go... how fab is that???
Tomorrow I have some items that I am giving my kids for their upcoming wedding yard sale... check this out... they don't want a Jack & Jill - they are having a yard sale instead and asking for everyone to donate items for it..... how cool is that....... this will help them for their wedding.... I like it... so I have good stuff for their yardsale.... like my backyard swing..... anyone interested in a big fluffy swing.. a good one from Costco.... for $150 firm.... let me know..... if not it goes in the kids yardsale.....
Happy Valentine's Day...
Enjoy the moments today... all of them...
