Valentine's Day---Gotta Love It!

Ok, so it is a well-known fact that I am not at all a fan of Valentine's Day and think it is highly overrated. I don't think that "love" should be saved for just one day a year, I believe that everyday should be Valentine's Day. My case in point is this...I am constantly thinking of my girls and husband every day of the year and am constantly showing them my love by doing special "things" for them all year long but to keep up with the Jones' I had to let loose of some serious cash. So for the celebration of this wonderful occasion, I spend my "valentine's fortune" at Walmart on some, what I thought were a full box of chocolates and get this...

Six chocolates! SIX! I seriously thought I was seeing things...I really could not believe it...six! Ok, so I was not the only one in the family that was disappointed as between 4 of us, we had to split 12 chocolates and for a mother who loves candy, this was pure restraint! However, because of my deep love for my girls and my wanting to "show" my love of the season, I only resigned to eating two...but then proceeded to eat an entire bag of caramels that were supposed to be used for a school project. So much for Weight Watchers. I guess I will be heading back to the grocery store on Monday for more caramels. One thing is for sure, I had three happy little girls yesterday...must have been the Hannah Montana necklaces they got.

Gotta love Valentine's Day!
