Anyway, I have worked every day for a week and my very sore, achy feet can attest that I put in way more hours than this old body is used to.
The girls have only seen me for tiny amounts of time in the very early morning and then again at bedtime each day. I have been so blessed to have so many people help care for the girls this week. My wonderful hubby, my in-laws, my Mom and my very good friend Caroline. The girls have had so much fun that I don't think they minded one bit that we did not have a 'regular' school week at home. But I have to say ... I really missed them! Since I normally see them all day, every day ... it was sort of weird to not see them at all!
On Saturday I worked all day and so did Bob so we decided on a very easy dinner once we were all home that evening. We ordered pizza and the girls and I decorated the table all festive for our very last minute Valentine party. Bob and I really don't do gifts for each other but we did exchange cards and a couple of small items. The girls were excited that I brought home balloons and this super cute candy and flowers arrangement for the table. {They also got new Webkinz for Valentines day which they were thrilled with!}
The pictures below are the 5,000!!!!!! roses that went out from the flower shop along with all the other hundreds of arrangements we had to do. I still have to go in tomorrow for one more day of work, then I'm done for awhile. I'm exhausted and I'm sore and I'm ready for normal life again ... but we have several things going on this week too - like Joy's birthday and friends visiting and other happenings ... sigh ... no rest for the weary I guess!
This is what 5,000 roses looks like!
You know, I just re-read my post and thought I sounded very whiny - I'm sorry! I'm not whining! I'm thankful for my job, my hubby and my kids {among many, many other blessings in my life} so please don't think I'm whining!
Oh and one more thing. Even though this week has been super busy - I found little ways to show love to my family. Each day I wrote them personal little notes expressing things I loved about them so they would find the notes every morning when they woke up. The girls were so excited each morning to look and see what I'd written to them. One morning Hope even made ME a note which she told me I could not open until I got in my car on my way to work. When I read it she expressed how much she loved having me as a Mom and told me she was sorry that my feet hurt! Ha! I love them all so much. I am so blessed!
