Lovey Dovey

Another Valentine's Day. I love it when it falls on a school day because its so cute to see the kids at school with their little Valentine's. A couple of my kids even gave me one. My room at school is decorated with monkeys so one little boy brought me a stuffed monkey. Very thoughtful and he was so proud of it. Another little girl brought me a rose. So sweet considering she's only 4, doesn't come to school yet, and only comes to see me for speech. I did indulge in a few pieces of chocolate today.

Neal and I don't really make a big deal out of Valentine's Day. My Love Language is Quality Time and that's what's important to me. I really missed him last week when he was gone and then over the weekend he had to work a lot too. I just wanted to spend time together which might sound contradictory since I must have my alone time too. There does exist a perfect balance of the two. Anyway, I'm thankful that he works hard and we're able to do the things we do like travel and live in a nice house. Tonight, we went to Texas Land and Cattle (TLC) for dinner. As Neal put it, we need a little TLC. This is sad but we were trying to remember what we did last Valentine's Day and drew a blank. Still can't remember. I guess it really isn't that big of a deal to us.

Leftovers from the weekend:
*On Saturday, we went to Jus Mac, the Macaroni and cheese place I've been wanting to try. It was a very tiny place but the Mac & Cheese was delish. They have several varieties and bake each order fresh in a personal-size iron skillet which makes for little crusties around the edges which are divine.
*TMI Warning--On Saturday, I was at the mall doing a little wedding shopping and decided to look for panties to wear for the wedding. As luck would have it, as soon as I picked up a very risque pair in JCPenney, I hear a little voice say, "Hi, Ms. Heiner!" It wasn't one of my students but she goes to our school. And her parents were with her. I smiled, dropped the goods, and left the store.
*We haven't been to church in a few weeks because of schedules. I dearly miss it. Even craving it. It's like I need that pep talk for the week.
