Sweets

Thank goodness it’s Friday!! It’s official - I’m no longer coming down with a cold so much as this cold has taken over my body! I feel as if someone lit a match and threw it down my throat! Not that I’ve ever experienced that or would like to…but in my imagination this is exactly how that would feel. Have I mentioned that I’m ready for the weekend? My son was an angel last night and fell asleep without a peep. He was his normal, goofy, playful, in his own world self this morning as he got ready for school. It was a wonderful way to start the day even if I already felt like a bomb had gone off in my head. While sitting at my desk wishing I was home in bed, the delivery man surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of lilies in shades of red, pink, and white! I’m not a red rose person as I think they’re cliché, especially for Valentine’s Day, and I so love that my husband knows this about me. He is the best at surprising me with a grocery store bouquet of mixed flowers that I look at lovingly for days on end. I’m a simple girl when it comes presents as it’s the thought that counts and I feel so very special that someone is thinking about me. As I glance at the sparking red vase full of closed buds, I can’t wait to take them home to my dining room table and watch them unhurriedly open until the petals are pushing for a breath of light.
