Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! I am overwhelmed with the response to my last minute Valentine card request!

I went out to get more medicine for Rebecca. When I came back the mailman had left one of those plastic mailbins FULL of envelopes. I almost cried. You guys are so generous, so sweet and caring! Thank YOU all! Thanks also for all those wonderful little notes to me.

I will list the names and a picture of one card from each sender.

The cards are all amazing!

I will send out the first box tomorrow….because I have more then enough to fill one box!

Life happens...

I had a great weekend with the kids. We had a blast playing games together.

This morning started good. I got up early, worked out, got the boys out of the house, cleaned the bathrooms, dusted, vacuumed and did a few loads of laundry.

Rebecca complained about that her throat hurt. Her tonsils are swollen. She gets that quite often and usually goes to school with it (I will get her checked out in the summer. She probably will have to have her tonsils and adnoids removed just like Austin. She doesn’t breath well through her nose.) I gave her some meds and she said she could go to school.

So I walked her to school, got back home, made cookie dough and moped the floor.

Then I went to the base, got gas, went to the library, BX and commissary. On the way back the nurse from Rebecca’s school called. She is running a fever. Poor baby. Now I felt bad. I rushed over there, picked her up and gave her more meds. Then I had to unload groceries ( was melting, yikes) and started the cookies.

I just turned on my computer. I don’t think I will get to stamp today. I have lots of emails to go through and my work for SCS still waiting for me. Hopefully I will have something pretty to show you tomorrow! Sorry!

Have a great Monday everyone! Hugs and smiles
