Valentine's Eve

I'm currently running around the house scrambling to get 

our fun Valentine's Supper ready for Jordan and the kids. 

Busy, busy.

But I keep thinking back to last night. 

I wasn't feeling very well yesterday and my mood was really not feeling well!

Wednesdays are hard days...good...but exhausting. 

I was not looking forward to driving the kids 30 minutes to Awana and getting home at 9:00. 

My wonderful awesome husband sensed it. 

He gave me a Valentines present. 

He took the kids for me. 

3 entire hours...

all alone...

in my house....

did I mention alone?????

I quickly ran to the library...got a new book, fed the kids and stood at the door waiting for him!

He came home took over and I went to bed with my book and snacks. 

It was wonderful. 

However, it turns out...

After growing up in a house with 6 siblings

then living in the dorms

then an apartment with 4 girls

and then getting married and having 5 kids close in age...

I'm really bad at alone time. 

Dont get me wrong, the first hour was glorious. 

But then I admit it. 

I got bored. 

;)

Thank you Jordan for a wonderful gift. 

I know it wasn't easy for you to sacrifice the night that is usually 'your night'. 

I appreciate your gesture more than I can possibly express.
