I got up this morning and come downstairs to have my coffee and on the kitchen table was a little present and card from Auntie and a special card that Mom had made a Day Care last week.
I had nothing - no cards - nothing. I felt like crap. Strike one.
Then I arrived at work. On my desk is a card and a chocolate heart. Again - I felt like crap. I ate the chocolate though. Strike two.
Later in the morning a friend arrives with a coffee and a chocolate donut filled with raspberry jelly and sprinkles. And again - I had nothing. (Oh yeah, and I ate the donut) Strike three.
I swear if someone had brought me a flower today I might have jumped off the roof!
I can't believe I didn't even get a funny card for my family. Who completely forgets?
Please friends - give me a 2 week reminder for Easter. I'm likely to forget that too.
It's the thought that counts........I didn't even think.
Three Strikes, I'm Out
Maybe I can redeem myself on St. Patrick's Day?
Happy Valentine's Day. sandie♥
ReplyDeleteHaha sorry, but I am glad that you got lots of goodies to eat. Next year I will remind you. You had lots on your mind.
ReplyDeleteWell,
Have a nice evening anyway,
Oh heck, the best I did today was half-heartedly make cupcakes for after dinner. And that I didn't even remember to do until after lunch. You're forgiven (my vote totally counts, right?).

ReplyDeleteHey, you can't remember everything. Stop beating yourself up!
Pug hugs :)
Lauren
P.S. We still love you!
It's ok to have a day where you get the treats!
ReplyDeleteYou remembered me so I that is what counts. hahaha
ReplyDeleteSeriously you give so much love to your Mom and Auntie everyday that there is no way you have struck out.
I think you are just a very busy lady.
Happy Valentines dear sweet Kim
Love
Maggie
I thought you were going to say that if someone had brought you a flower, you would have eaten that too. ;o) JUST KIDDING!! But for the guilt factor when the husband comes home bearing flowers or gifts, I'd probably space it too. I used to make my own cards for all my nieces/nephews and the greats as well, make cupcakes, and get into the whole thing....now I binge on chocolate covered cherries and jellied hearts and call it good. ;o) I still love ya!

ReplyDeleteLucky for you...Valentine's day will be here again next year and you can redeem yourself..frankly I think Hallmark is the real winner on this day!
ReplyDeleteOh, don't feel to bad. Everyone forgets occasionally. I'm sure the blog world will give you a heads up for St. Patricks's Day. I love your sense of humor!!!!
ReplyDeleteEcards usually save the day.
ReplyDeleteDear Kim, you give of yourself so much to your Auntie and Mom so you ARE the VALENTINE. Who needs a card or chocolate when they have you.
ReplyDeleteDon't be so hard on yourself, and oh yeah, welcome to the crowd of forgetters. Well I didn't forget but my husband did. He said Oh, I should have bought you some lobsters for Valentine because my sister's boyfriend bought her some with a nice card.
Next Valentine will be around before you know it. Hallmark will make sure of it... Hugs JB
Hugs. JB
You crack me up! I would have done the same thing (eat the goodies) no matter what. Today is another day, right?
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha you are so funny I guess you passed by all the blogs with hearts up the wazu!
