Nothing New

I often log into my own blog and find myself disappointed that there is noting new to look at. I say to myself "Duh, you are the only one who updates this." I really have to figure out how to give Tim publishing rights to our blog so he can start adding a little content.

Today is February 12th, and I cannot believe that February is almost half over. Tomorrow night we have to finish the Valentine cards for Athena's class, and of course I didn't just pick up a box of cheep cards that Athena can just write her name on and be done with it...I have to come up with some grandiose foamy craft project. Sometimes I wonder why I make life so hard on myself. Why didn't I just buy 20 little boxes of conversation hearts? Kids love those things (or at least I love them). No little kid is going to oooh and ahhh over these foamy Valentines. I could have spent $1.00 for a box of cards, and 15 minutes with Athena as she wrote her name 20 times, but instead I spent an undisclosed amount of money (omitted so Tim never realizes how much I actually spent) and a few hours trying to figure out how to make these things in such a way that Athena can actually help make them, besides just writing her name on the bottom of the card.

I tell myself, "Next year. Next year I will just take the easy way out. Next year I am going to remember how crazy this was. Next year Tim is in charge of Valentines Day."
