Happy Valentines Day
There are a few things in life that cause a chain reaction- such as barfing, giggling, and crying. I can’t say that one out weighs the other- and giggling gets me in the most trouble. Crying is the hardest to control. And barfing…. i hate the smell of barf.
Today I saw my friends (the one that was diagnosed with MS) Mom, Carol. Carol works at the boys school as a TA. When I turned to leave I saw her standing in the office and our eyes met and she immediately started to tear up- and I said “OH Carol” and she burst into tears. She said no one else at the school knows but that she knew that Mark and Tami would tell me. She then told me that prior to being a TA she was a nurse who took care of people with MS and she knows the disease all to well and watching her daughter go through it is going to be the hardest thing she’s ever done in her life. I had no comforting words to tell her- except how much I loved her daughter and son in law and that I was there for them, and I’d pray for them. UGH …. that school and heartbreaks……
My teacher was gone today from class- her mom had a heart attack and was having a stint put in so my teacher stayed with her today. we had a sub who was really nice and spent most of the class sitting behind me and giving me all these great hints and tips on foreshortening. I felt really honored. He is an accomplished artist who can draw like it’s nobodies business. We had my least favorite model today- we call him boner. For those of you who haven’t heard the story- use your imagination and you’ll be right. He is the hardest to draw cause he is so skinny- all my pictures look like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons.
I picked some mini cupcakes up for my class. This classmate of mine works in this really nice bakery and she brought donuts and muffins. She heard me talking about how much I love blueberry muffins so she brought me a half dozen. It was so nice of her. And they were yummy too. I left before my second class stated. Started getting a migraine and wanted to get home and get it under control before the boys got home. 2 pills and a mini nap always does the trick if I catch it early enough.
My biggest and sweetest surprise of the day was a velvet heart shaped box of chocolates that Mick surprised me with. He picked each piece out- even picked a chocolate butterfly. (as well as some little hearts, a cat, ginger, and a few others that look too good to eat). I’ll take pictures and post them tomorrow. We took the kids out to dinner with us tonight. Ended the evening watching the olympics.
I’m tired now, so I’m getting into bed.
