In this day of texting, emails and everyone in a hurry, where has all the romance gone? Why are we all in such a hurry? I can’t remember the last time I received a letter that wasn’t a bill. Does anyone write letters anymore? Oh wait, Grandma Dixie does. When was the last time you went out to dinner as a couple, just to go out to dinner to be with each other? As we’ve advanced technologically, it seems we’ve forgotten how to interact on a personal level. We’re all in such a rush to get this or that done that we’re missing out on enjoying the moment. Well for today, take a breath and just stop. Take time to enjoy life and be with those you love and care about. Or do something for yourself, take an hour and read a book or go for a walk, anything, just step out of the fast lane of life for a moment. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did. Happy Valentines Day!
Yesterday we were back to the grind. I spent most of the morning on the phone while the misses was running from here to there trying to get caught up. Today she has the youngest ones Valentines Day Party at school. Of course, as you might remember, she’s the room Mom because no one else volunteered. Thankfully she, as always, stepped up. I don’t understand why people don’t get involved with their children’s lives. Uncle T and Aunt B do more for our kids than some of those parents at school do for their kids, not cool.
I had an early afternoon appointment at the dentist to get my dead tooth checked out. It looks like insurance will cover a couple of thousand dollars of the expense but the rest I’ll have to come up with if I want to fix it. We’ll see. I had bought some crab the other day when it was on sale and the misses and I cleaned it up and had a crab omelette for dinner while the boys had pasta and sauce. Then we worked on their Valentines for them to take to school today. I think we were all asleep by a little after 8.
The youngest is up with me right now and has been since about 5, as had a runny nose that woke him. It’s now 5:45 and I’m debating whether to go to the gym now or wait until after we take the boys to school. It’s still cold outside, around the mid 30’s with no end in sight. The youngest just told me my hair is getting a ‘little grayish” Â and asked if he has an armpit hair? Too funny. I was supposed to go to NY next week but I think I’ll pass as I have about 200 cases of wine arriving via air freight. I will be in Italy again around the end of March and who knows where else before then. I’m somewhere around 20,000 miles so far this year.
Time to run and decide what to do this morning. We hope everyone has a great Valentines Day. Take time to smell the roses as they say, enjoy.
