Alessandra Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Things I didn't get to yesterday and the day before and.... Make a flourless chocolate cake. Coeur a la creme and raspberry Grand Marnier sauce were done yesterday, took hardly any time at all. Planning to set a pretty table with some flowered Dresden stlyle china, pink linens, rose napkin rings, pink candles. Pick up some pink flowers. Otherwise very simple, easy to cook dinner -- chicken breast (fresh, from poultry farm) with mushroom-herb-sherry sauce (no cream, because of desserts later), grilled radicchio, snow peas.

MysteryJen Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Pretty regular day here. Dh gave me flowers last night, since he is at the swim meet today through Sunday. I don't do much Valentine day things for the kids, as usually they have athletic stuff and are watching their sweets intake. Sounds impressive, but I am sitting next to a tray of mini-cupcakes ds2 brought home from judo and there are quite a few missing. Oh wait, that was me... To do: dd2 to school boys up and school laundry/chores eat a late breakfast paperwork- get ready for trip grocery store (get stuff for kids to take to dmil's-they are spending the weekend there) jen things pick up dd2 club practice/aikido home to dinner by ds3-parmesan crusted chicken and mac and cheese (dd2 request) and salad Have a great day! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do: Fasting today Take ds to class p/u ds from class plan for co-op classes take dd to voice lesson make some kind of meatless light dinner (eggs and potatoes maybe?)

Alessandra Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I’m surprised that so many people give gifts on Valentine’s Day. We just say “Happy Valentine’s Day!†Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I give candy and get homemade cards. My special blessing is that kids are not in elementary school any more. Policy -- which I think is good -- that, if you give valentines, everyone in class must get one. Policy -- which I now wish I had ignored -- is that kids prepare the cards themselves, writing names on envelops, stuffing envelopes. It took more time than I could have imagined possible. We celebrate with a meal. And this year we got a tiny (6") rustic wooden heart for the back door. We dug it out of a sea of red glitter in a local discount store. No price tag, so we were charged $2. We also got a rustic St Patrick's day hanging thing, found in a sea of green glitter, also $2. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) Started out good. Need to get the momentum back up. The kids got off to the school bus with their forms and valentines and instruments. I did forget to give them $ for dinner.... Cleaned out the garage where there were about 200 empty boxes and other random crap. Cleaned the fridge partway. Took out the garbage. A little bit of housework. Paid some bills. Some donation stuff. Got current on internet stuff. Got some work done, not enough.... To do: Lots of work. Amazon order already. Would like to organize my kids' underwear drawers today. How can they have full drawers and say they can't find what they need? More fridge cleaning (get rid of food that is too old). Pay bills. Filing. Exercise? Whatever I'm forgetting. Driver will come and get my car so she can drive my kids around for their Wednesday evening stuff: from youth group to food to math tutor to gymnastics and back home. Kids' work (homework). Read-aloud? Kids to bed. Work. Edited February 14, 2018 by SKL 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof1 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 My husband and I don't do Valentines. Our 5 yr old wanted to give valentine cards and get presents for Mom and Dad. We got her a card and will make cookies today for her. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Sometimes if dh is lucky, I will cook something nice for dinner on Valentine's Day. But tonight he won't even be home for dinner so I'm off the hook! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Ds was throwing up in the middle of the night. He's not sure if he has food poisoning or not. We delivered his car to the mechanic and then he called in sick and went back to bed. I'm hoping that it isn't the flu or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 The weather is so nice today, 37* and sunny. I spent about an hour brushing my horses, which they loved. The shaggiest couple are already starting to shed. My house is in total disarray from the construction work, plus my garage is full of pallets of wood flooring and cabinet doors. Can't wait till it's done and I can get it all tidied up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 On my 4th load of laundry. Got the kitchen clean and somewhat straightened up so I can make dinner. Repotted five houseplants. Started a list of the many things we need to get at Lowe's. Kids are at Model UN now. I'm missing our old Fedex guy, who always delivered in the morning. The new guy never shows up until evening, or sometimes the middle of the night. :glare: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought a few big jars of salsa, one of which I need for tonight's recipe. Just went and looked in the fridge and there is only one jar of salsa left with about 1/2" of salsa in it. Life with teenage boys... :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
