Frazzled Catch Up

Valentine's Day was pretty good. I surprised my hubby by leaving him a card and treat on his desk at work, while he was in a meeting. He was so inspired that he left work early that day and went to Costco to buy me a dozen roses and a GARBAGE DISPOSAL. Yes you read that right. Isn't my hubby just the most romantic hubby ever? I admit, I have wanted one and we had discussed it coming out of our tax return, but as a gift for Valentine's day? LOL I do prefer practical gifts, but this was a little too much for me. I was hoping for the computer program I wanted, or a new CD writer for my 'puter. Frankly I was thrilled to get to buy a new vacuum, so even no gift would have been good. OK, I will stop raving, at least he thought of me and I know he truly loves me and will always be there for me. My husband truly is the best one for me.
(PS It wouldn't be so bad, but it still isn't installed! If it is going to take up space in my small house then I at least want to be able to use it! LOL)

He will probably kill me for posting this picture, but for me this shows who he really is...he is my big strong hero...he has a great sense of humor and is able to help me keep things in perspective. I love him more than I could ever express...and on the rare occasion you can get him to have a real smile in a picture, it is like glimpsing a piece of heaven. Cheesy I know, but for me it really is that way.

The only other thing I have been up to is dealing with day to day life. Sleep is a rare thing for me still, every time I think it is getting better, my dd decides to sleep less. On top of that, I have 30+ people coming this weekend for her blessing and we have to figure out how to feed all of them at my house after church. Thankfully they are all staying in hotels, my house is too small for that many guests, though I have offered to bunk us up more if someone wanted to stay here. I do have a sleeper sofa, queen air mattress and some floor space that can be used in a pinch.

The issue is that we replaced a bunch of our carpet and I still haven't gotten things back how they need to be/want them to be. I have boxes everywhere and even though I'm working on it, the unpacking, cleaning and organizing are going very slow. There just aren't enough hours in a day for me to do it all. Somehow, I know I will get it done good enough by Saturday...'cause I have to...I just can't guarantee I will still be sane. LOL

Back to the grind, have a great week everyone!
