V Day

Today was an eventful but not too interesting day for most. SS was up super early and wanted to play ONLINE PS3 but Dad said no PS3 until all spelling and sentences were gone over and a hundred percent correct. I didn't plan on going over past tense words so early this morning but it had to be done and SS actually made a 100. I hope we can keep this up for the test on Thursday. EZ slept for 12 hours! I guess the trip to the sleep number store last night and movie was more than he could handle. Anyways, made for a nice calm morning. SS gave us a family card and so did EZ. I gave them a very small box of chocolate a Dr Suess book each on Space and Dinosaurs. Amazingly the books were a big hit. GQ and I were able to go to Kohls and shop for a new comforter and toaster oven. I know, not that exciting, but the fact that we went by ourselves was a 1st. We called and got my mom to keep the kids for a couple of hours tonight and we actually had a date to the movies. We haven't been on a date since I can remember. SS said his heart hurt that we were going out without him and especially on VDay! Trying to make a memorable impression as I try to think of these as, uh, teaching moment for his future, and tell him how happy i am that dad made arrangments for a date and that moms and dads should go on dates and it's good for everyone. We saw Wolfman. I would have rathered seen the chic flick, Valentine's day but it was just good to sit by my man for once in the theatre and not worry about two seats down. Got the kiddos and came home and watched race to witch mountain. It's not an exciting day but it was ours and all got along the whole day. Major feat for SS and EZ.

Now the biggest news of the day. We have made the leap to a sleep number i10 King size bed! GQ is 6'4" and it's about time he has a bed big enough for him to stretch out. Of course he'll only have 4" of stretching room but it's enough. After making the 'car', err, bed payment, we should have it in about 10 days. I plan to document my sleeping for the 30 night trial and see how it goes. With my herniated disk, I'm expecting awesome results. Now to start the major overhaul of the master bedroom. It now moves up to number one on the list which means GQ is going to have to help/do all the moving of stuff/piles for me. Wish me luck with another day of all getting along tomorrow. It's our only day off together where we will be able to get stuff moved out of the bedroom. Unfortunately our room has become a drop off of everything. It's closest to the family room so everytime the fam room has to be 'stripped' it all ends up in piles in our room. well, tomorrow those piles and the big tv are being moved to the living room. might as well just use one storage room in the house for a while. i want to be organized but it takes so much work to get there and then to keep it up. the boys are going to sell lots and lots and lots of toys and we won't be replacing them. good thing they are into making money right now :)
