well, I personally think it went swimmingly, except for the tummyache. that could have been left out, thank you.
first, I decided to eat a happy meal. why? for several reasons:
1. they are only $2.99 from 4 - 7pm
2. they are giving hello kitty toys in the girl ones
3. I always eat a happy meal when I cannot seem to shake the flu. tried and true for me. likely because a happy meal isn't real food
4. they truly do make me exceedingly happy
second, while at the table eating my youngest presented me with a valentine's day gift. it may be the first one he has ever given me on his own, without any prompting, making it extra sweet. it was a coupon for one free frosty at wendy's. he earned it for passing his first level of skiing lessons (lessons he swore he did not even want and would not enjoy). good on him for persevering and passing, especially since it involved a seriously real mountainy mountain, not anything like the bumps we call ski hills back home.
even gooder on him for giving it to his mum :)
now ... for sale chocolate
