Valentines Day/ "Me Day"

Being the wife of a cop, I know and completely understand that I'm not going to get to spend holidays with my husband like most wives do. Valentines Day is no exception. Jim left for work Thursday night at 10pm as I was going to bed. He got a call right before his shift ended Friday (Vday) morning so I couldn't see him before I left for work. Then, since all the guys were calling in sick for the night, he got called in early at 7pm. Since I was working late I didn't get to see him last night either. Instead, his mom came over and we played Scrabble. She won one and I won one..... Are you jumping up and down??? You should. Anytime I beat my MIL in Scrabble I want a parade, LOL

This morning I saw Jim for all of 10 minutes. He had to get to sleep since he's working a side job before work tonight plus I was on my way out for "Me Day". What is "Me Day" you ask? Well, its just what it sounds like.... a day for me. I had so much fun out on my own today that I think I'm making this a regular occurrence. I was out of the house 8 HOURS today.... EIGHT HOURS!!!!  It was awesome :)

My day started out with a mani/pedi and a much needed eyebrow wax. I went to my favorite salon and I really wish I could go more often but I usually only go to treat myself. I got a really nice paraffin wrap on my hands and cute pink sparkly nails. My feet are now ready for flip flop weather as well....once it gets to 50 they're coming out!!

After that I was going to go to the mall but decided to try and avoid some crowds by going to a smaller little strip mall  closer to home. They have all the shops I'd shop at anyways. Can I just say though, I absolutely LOVE Ross for Less. It is now my new favorite store. Jim told me they're opening one just down the street from us so I'm extra happy about that news!!! Anywho, I was able to get myself some clothes that fit so now my maternity clothes are all packed up and put in the basement. Its really amazing how something so small as packing up clothes to get them out of sight can free up some space in your mind. I feel like a little weight on my shoulders is gone. Phew.

Tomorrow Jim and I are celebrating a belated Valentines. We're going out for a nice steak dinner, yummmm. Speaking of Valentines Day, check out my present.

Its hard to see it but our names (Jim, Kate, Jack) are engraved over each of our birthstones. Inside the band it says "Our family is a circle of love". I absolutely love this bracelet!!!

Well folks, I need to get some stuff done for work tonight. I have my consult with the MFM this week so I probably wont write again until my update from that appointment. Hope you're all having a great weekend!!
