A good dose of incessant chatter
I had a lovely time off! It was so nicety-nice. Now I'm back at work and the work has not ceased. I'm on lunch now, so I have a little bit of time to spend writing. Did everyone have a good Valentine's Day?? I had a really good one. We gave Lily a chocolate rose and Seth a chocolate apple, and both a stuffed animal with candy hearts attatched. Jessie and I took Lily to her daycare yesterday so she could be there for their Valentine's party. We came back in an hour and they had just eaten lunch...then the chaos began! Most of the kids had brought something - candy or Valentine's- to give out, so Jennifer (babysitter) was handing out candy and the kids were handing out candy and Valentine's and they were all pretty much running in circles around each other...it was funny. So Seth and Lily got a lot of Valentine loot. Bad for me, a person addicted to chocolate! At lunch I ate some Little Debbie valentine cakes that Lily got - and it was so sugary I thought my teeth would fall out!
Oh we also had a candlelight dinner Tuesday night...all 4 of us. :) The kids liked it so much, they were like, "can we please do it again tomorrow night??" haha so we did. Its actually a really good way to focus on your family during mealtime...no tv and no way to read (for me). And it's different. It was pretty neat.
Oh yeah! While Jessie and I were killing time yesterday waiting for Lily, we went to the library (not mine...and yes, I do sometimes frequent other libraries on my days off) and you'll never guess what movie we found. She-ra!! Remember She-ra? And He-Man? Yesterday I had one of my favorite times while I was off. I was lounged on the couch watching She-ra with Jessie and Lily cuddled in the chair. Only thing missing was Seth (but we watched it with him later).
We did get a good bit of cleaning done too (yay!). I cleaned Seth and Lily's rooms -basically I just took everything out, put it in the hall, vaccumed, then put everything back in, neater. And with Lily's room, I cried because there was still no room to put anything, even though I threw some stuff away. ;P Jessie's still cleaning today...and to that I say Hooray! He took Lily to daycare so he could move the appliances and clean under them. I emphasized that because it is an unnatural phenomenon in my house! I wish it weren't but it is. ;)
Well, I'm sure I have more stuff to bore you with but I better get back to work for now!

Welcome back! I've really missed you and I'm sure everyone else has, too! I'm glad you enjoyed your time off. And you got some cleaning done, too! Would you like to come to my house? Aunt Daphne
Hey I missed you too! Oh man, we still have quite a ways to go on our house, but its definitely looking better. One horrible problem we have is fruit flies. A result of some rotted fruit we didn't know was there. :( We have more fly-traps than I can count now..so hopefully they'll be gone soon. The house just doesn't quite feel clean with a zillion flies whizzing around our heads. Ech!
I'm glad you had a good time off. I did miss your blogs! We got too much Valentine candy too. But for some reason the chocolate just tasted to sweet to me this time. I think they're putting more sugar in it than they used to...haha, probably not, but for some reason it just tasted like it. You know, I don't think I've ever seen She-ra.
Me and Noelle didn't celebrate Valentine's this year! I was too sick! I never got her anything. Oh well, there's always next year. She's too young to notice anyways.
