My funny valentine....

I have been sitting here with little Maddy Moo, doing Valentines for her class. When I mentioned it to my dad earlier today, he, ironically enough had the same memories that I had about my own. You have to peel them apart, trying not to rip them. Then I used to scout out hidden meanings and try to give them to certain people. Some were for the people that you really didn't like, but had to give them one anyways. Then there were the ones you had a crush on and hoped that they would read into the card you had chosen for them and the feeling would be mutual. Really, did it ever happen that way? I can remember getting a LARGE box of chocolate from my boyfriend in elementary school. I had to have been in 3rd or 4th grade. (The thought of Maddy having a boyfriend at that age scares me!) I hid the box in my closet, not wanting my dad to question who it was from. Now, being married for 7 plus years, I wonder what my hubby will do, if anything... I am not being bitter, just real. Unfortunately life gets in the way, kids, time, money and bam, Valentines day gets thrown in there. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised... Maybe I will get that cute card with a hidden message of true love.
