Happy sweetest day!

Because I am battling a cold that just won't quit,I returned to bed this morning as soon as Mike left for work.Too bad that two short hours later I was awakened by what sounded like a knock at the door. I got up to check but seen no car in the drive so I went back to bed.A little over an hour later the door bell awakened me. I wasn't even in the mood, however Michael called up the stairs " Mom, two men with badges are at the door"I knew that Mike had called and was already at work and all three kids were home so i didn't go too deep into hysterics as I told Michael to open the door and tell them just a minute then let the dogs out back and I would be down to let them in. Michael hollered back that they left, but he proceeded to put the dogs out. I grabbed my robe and headed down. As I opened the door two Police men were at the neighbors. Hmmmm I thought as I seen the vote yes on the Police levy literature on the door knob. As I grabbed it and crumpled it in my hand getting angry that I was awoken for a political thing, when one police officer seen me and came over. "I see you found our literature" he said. Great, I thought ! He gave me another with an apology for waking me, followed by information on how badly we need this levy passed.It took all I had but I said that I would consider voting for the levy before shutting the door. Now it was too late to go back to bed as the boys would need to get ready for karate in an hour. They did and I took them, ran some errands, picked them up and ran a couple more errands . Finally I was home and Mike called to say he had just left work. He told me that he wanted to go out and asked if I wanted him to pick up fast food for the kids. I honestly didn't feel like going out but he was adamant so I agreed. We talked until he abruptly said that he had to go and that he would be home in a few minutes. As I hung up I wondered what was up. Did he get pulled over ? He seemed too cheerful for that to have been the case. Was his car acting up ? Again too cheerful. I wondered what was up. About fifteen minutes later, Mike was home. He had stopped for roses. Happy Sweetest Day, he said as he handed me the wrapped flowers. Awwwwww Sweetest day ! I had no idea ! He actually remembered and I didn't,wow that was a switch.That is also why he wanted to take me to dinner.Thankfully we decided to eat at a place that isn't very fancy ,though the food is always great, so jeans and a T shirt were perfect. We ate and headed home for my next dose of cold medicine. We then cuddled up and watched Sex and The City on DVD. Do I have the life or what ?
