February 12 Snow Day !Good Morning World,
Today is a snow day in this house ! Everyone out there with children knows what that entails.
Screaming, Crying, Pleading...............and thats just from me!
My children are amazing creatures ! They will swear they have nothing to do and they are bored.
At this moment I am being "mean and unreasonable " because I won't let them out in an ice storm.
We are going to work on Valentines Boxes today. That should take up about 2 hours of our day.
Although I dislike the month of February I do really like Valentines Day. I remember being a kid
and opening the Valentine Box at the end of the school day with pleasure. Some days it is hard to
catch that feeling of total excitment. I recently had an evening like this that I would like to share.
Every year on my Birthday I swear that I do not want anyone to make a big deal. That is not exactly
true. I think everyone wants to feel special on their special day. When we were children it was acceptable
to expect a "big deal" in fact it was expected. A few days before my birthday this year I told my best
friend Michelle that we should get together to play cards. I thought this would be a nice way to celebrate.
I enjoy low-key events . It was a regular evening of card playing and ordering pizza. After we ate
Michelle pulled out a cake that had "older than dirt" on the top. While I was not thrilled with the cake
decoration, I was taken aback by what happened next. Michelle gathered everyone in the dining room
to light the candles and sing to me. I have not had the feeling of being the most special person in the
room in a long time. I think we all need this from time to time. I have not had the cake,candles, and
the birthday song in a very long time. I will never forget the fact that although she was bone tired from
working back to back shifts , she still gave me a very special evening. I hope that everyone out there
has a special friend like this. My friend knew exactly what I needed even when I did not. So to my
best friend I love you and thank you and will cherish you always !
Now in answer to my previous entry. I would also keep my sight. The world can be a beautiful place.
If I had to pick a sense to give up I think it would be taste but I am not sure why.
Thanks for the comments
love
