My life as a wife, mom, daughter. I would love to say that it is all wonderful, but it isn't, there are frustrations, hurt, anger, and that is just what happens when I ask everyone to do the dishes! I have one wonderful husband, eleven beautiful children, three gorgeous daughters in law, one wonderful son in law,four darling grandsons, two cats, eight chickens, two roosters, a small coffee roasting business, one son in a wheelchair, a full time job... Those are the highlights any way, it makes me tired just typing this!
Today is Valentine's Day, one of my favorite holidays,because it is special just for Mark and I. We have been planning our special dinner for a week, and honestly, if I was given the chance to go to any restaurant of my choosing, I would still opt for home. We plan, shop, and make a fabulous dinner for the two of us, and then we set a romantic table and have a spectacular dinner, just the two of us! I have been working on it all day, and right now Mark is out shopping for I am not sure what, but I can't wait to see. We are having Rib eye steak, twice baked potatoes, white asparagus with lemon and butter, our favorite champagne with orange mango juice, and chocolate, and white chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert.
It is always such a special time for the two of us, we make the kids go to a different area of the house, usually we set a table in our room, but this year we sleep on the sun porch and it is only around 18 degrees out, so it is a little too cool to eat in our room! So I am not sure where the kids will be, but there is only 5 of them home, so it is just a small group tonight to manage... I will update this later when I find out what we are going to do.
