Happy Valentine's Day!

So...I write this posting in red for Valentine's Day & I wonder what all of you parents do for V'Day. You know....I love V'Day - but I have found it a bit stressful this year. We have 2 kids.....this equates to 2 sets of Valentine cards to give out at school. Oh...& let's not forget, we 'need' to take goodies for all of the kids in the class. Oh....& let's not forget that we need to send a tasty treat for the party & perhaps be available to volunteer at school to assist w/ the party. And I haven't even started purchasing something for the husband & the kids from me for Valentine's Day............LOL...Does this sound like Christmas to you?

I really do love each holiday, but it seems that each year they get bigger & better. What do you think? What is reasonable?

After all of this prep work.....guess what? School is out for V'Day & Friday for the flu!!!!!!!!!! I guess it is back to baking on Sunday night.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!

Ok -- this is for all of the friends and family (including me) that sent an email instead of posting the comment... we're technologically behind!

As to the holiday goodies and treats... my mother has always given something to everyone at all the "major" holidays. I have continued to do the same with my girls. Just a little something for them to brighten up their day on some, and on others with more of a punch.
Everyone enjoys a treat!

2nd attempt at leaving a comment??!!?? Let's see if I have overcome this technical challenge!
I have never "blogged" before - didn't really know what it was until now!!??!! Maybe I can take a blogging class & get CPE for it :)

A typical case of Murhphy's Law at work here! No school on V-Day?? How can that be?? Your kids will love you because you went to the effort, even if it was in vain :) Happy V Day!
