Roses are Red

I'm back again, and so soon! I paid my dues between 2 and 6am caring for particularly needy children, and now everybody is asleep. I have a computer and a cup of coffee and I am loving this. I'd almost prefer everybody to be up all night on the regular so that I can get a minute alone in the morning.

I obviously don't have anything new to tell you since yesterday. I'll allow the pictures and their captions to tell their own story. However, I would like to refer you to a couple of interesting reads.

25 things about life I wish I had known 10 years ago
Some seriously good life lessons. Things we've all heard and vow to do and then forget the next day. But it can't hurt to be reminded of these things, especially numbers 1, 2, 16, 17, 18 and 22. Those are real game changers in this thing we call life and the quest for happiness.

And, in the spirit of Valentine's Day, here is:

I'm sure many people are right along with us, knowing that the holiday on the horizon won't be the most romantic Valentine's Day to date. Sure, maybe we'll do heart-shaped pancakes and exchange a little gift, but we'll probably change a lot of dirty diapers and fall into bed exhausted shortly after the kids go to sleep. We aren't big V-Day people anyway, so it's really not a thing. But the piece that's linked above made me chuckle. We're not 10 years in yet, but I think it'll be a sweet time when we get there.

No, he didn't fall, this was just his response when I told him it was time to turn around. Makes me realize he should be wearing a helmet, even though he just kind of walks with that bike.

That was...something.

Enjoy your weekend reading. I'll report back between 1 and 10 days from now.
