Happy Belated Valentine’s Day!
Well, another Valentine’s Day has come and went….I was going to make us a nice dinner last night but it just didn’t happen. My husband did get me an awesome gift though….he bought me a plane ticket to go see my sister Andrea in South Carolina. They are actually going to be moving when I’m there so I get to help a little. I guess Jill will go with me and Jackie will stay with his Dad at home. I am ready for a change of scenery and this will be a nice little vacation for a Mom with cabin fever.
Jackson got his first Valentine card yesterday from a cute little girl that lives downstairs….he is still trying to understand what all the fuss is about. The poor boy is stricken with pink-eye again. I guess a trip to the doctor is in order this time. The last time he had it we didn’t take him in right away because we thought he would just get over it…well that ended in a trip to the ER with his eyes swollen shut. Josh and I were sure that we had blinded the poor boy. Today I told him that he’s not allowed to play with his friends because he’s sick and he said, “Is it because I have a pink eye Mom?” Yeah, something like that.The MEN in our household are great!
This is the guitar that I got for Josh for Christmas…sometimes he tries to teach me how to play it (sometimes that causes some stress in our marriage relationship). I think I pushed to hard on the string with my index finger because I lost feeling in the tip of my finger for about two months….it seems to be close to normal now. I don’t think this “Menno Momma” is cut out to be a bass guitar player….that thought makes me laugh for some reason. My next purchase is going to be a drum set…that’s more down my alley. Hey, Josh tells me I have a sense of rythm…..that’s about the only thing I have in the music world. How did I ever get with Joshua Good? Maybe it was my brains he liked. =)

we gotta love those brainy, musically talented men. yes, we are just suckers for them. i had to laugh at you playing the bass guitar… why NOT? it would be so COOL.
yeah, i know what you mean about the music being stress in the marriage. I still struggle with that one, even though it is less than it used to be.
