Saturday, I gave my beautiful wife a 'mommy day'. I gave her some time off away from the house so that she can get her hair done. Man! She looks beautiful!!!
I had some time to spend with my two boys as we played, I chased Ben around as he was playing with the light switches, and was holding Blake and giving him some daddy time.
I had a good idea to go to COSTCO on a Saturday afternoon. The one good thing about my travels to the Kennesaw location is that I get to listen to the "CIGAR DAVE" show on 640-AM WGST in Atlanta. He and his show give me good ideas that I can't use that have to do with pleasures and entertainment.
I think I walked about a mile inside the store before checking out with my 6 items in my cart. It's not uncommon to see people take 50 or more big items from the store and out to their cars before leaving the cramped parking lot. I see mass quantities of drinks, cookies, chips, milk, eggs, meats, and frozen foods being loaded into the car.
One of my favorite things about being inside the costco is sampling a lot of the goodies some of the people are selling. Some of my favorites were the eggo waffles, cuban coffee, chocolate truffles, avocado spread on bread, and some lemon muffins.
I got Ben some more chicken nuggets for his meals. He'll love them.
When I got home, Ben was in full blown screaming mode, and we didn't know what to do. After a while, we gave him some tylenol and he got better instantly.
Ben got a nice surprise by going to Walmart and Publix with his mama. He seemed to be in much better spirits. We had a nice rotisserie chicken dinner and we had a ball at dinner time.
After dinner, I got to give Ben bathtime; something I don't get to do too often due to my late work schedule.
Saturday Night was special because we got to watch movies, TV, eat chocolate, and drink wine. I got to see "Fear" for the first time and I thought it was silly and creepy. The song "Wild Horses" really talked to me. As I got ready for bed, I could not wait to see what was in store for me on Valentine's Day.
SUNDAY
Valentine's Day was a little different than what we had intended. We didn't feel at our best, so we skipped Sunday School and Church. Big mistake. We'll be paying for that for a while.
Ben and Blake were exceptionally cranky on this day.
We lifted Ben's spirits by taking a trip to Lowe's to get some sand, and it was 'dirt' cheap. Two bags for $8.
We put sand in the new sandbox for Ben to play in. See, he had a good time and everything.
After we played outside, we had some fun inside. Of course Ben got sand on some things and he got his doggy dirty (just a little bit).
I had to corral Ben so much as his mama was cooking our Valentine's Day feast. I had to get Ben away from the kitchen over and over again. It was wearing me out. I felt bad for his mama too.
After dinner and after we got Ben and Blake to bed, I conked out first on the couch and later to bed. I haven't been that tired or defeated in a long, long time. I felt bad for all of us.
Next year, Valentine's Day will be even more special.
