Where's the Chocolate and Flowers? Have a Robot Instead.

No wonder boys today aren't romanitcal ...

"Armor up! It's Valentines Day!" What's that supposed to mean?

See my big metal arm here? Yeah? Well, let me wish you a THRILLING Valentine's Day!

And, just for my favorite daddy blogger: "Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you're not killed by a super-cool robot guy!" (go leave a comment for him; he really likes the comments!)

Good news, I have another date tonight. Husband dear and I have arranged for a sitter (well, my mom lives with us and she agreed), I made reservations for the closing night performance of Blythe Spirit, and, assuming Greggy can pull himself away from work (he came in at 2am last night/this morning and left around 9 ... poor guy) WE will attend the theatre.

Crichton was very, dare I say VERY disappointed that he was not invited to join us ("Mom, you never go on a date with me," - which isn't even true.). I'm all in favor of culturing my kids (my little microbes), you should hear the boys belt out Tomorrow, (really, I've got to record them and let you see!) but mommy and daddy need some alone time (boom chica wow wow).

Slight mental tangent ... I sure hope this upset tummy stuff is the stomach flu (who says that? I hope I have the flu? A mom with a nine month old who decided not to go on the pill, that's freakin' who). Also, did you know you can get pregnancy tests at the dollar store?? I KNOW! I'm sure they are every bit as reliable as the $12 EPTs, wouldn't you say?

Weird thing, when you have kids, as they grow up, some of those really ... um ... let's say icky theories from Psych 101 start ... manifesting. You think the Oedipus is wacko? Well, here's the Valentine's Day Poem I received today:
No, I'm sure he meant "I hope you do too."

Then I have stacks of book filled with pages like these:


While Greg gets a few pages, here and there, mostly like this.

Greg's a good dad, I swear he is. But, Freud might just have hit on something crazy accurate.

The question is, how will I feel when that love is redirected at some fickle evil floozy?

It's nice to be loved ...

Have a wonderful night out. And I have to say, honestly, if a robot can do dishes and laundry, I'll take it over flowers any day. :)

I found out about a couple of my kids via dollar store tests. I think they work great! Just save the extra eleven dollars for chocolate to keep you in a sugar induced coma for the first few weeks if the test comes out positive.

amen to the dollar store pregancy tests. They have been on the money for four+ of my kids, and then I don't have to feel guilty when I take 2 or 3 "just to be sure!" ;)
