Broken Hearted on Valentine's Day

Sigh. We had a little incident last night. My daughter made brownies, dipped them in chocolate and lovingly dusted them heart shaped sprinkles. We wrapped them up, tied them with a red ribbon and topped them with hand-cut hearts. She declared that this would be the best Valentine's Day ever....and that her friends would just love her for giving them the best Valentine's Day treats ever.

And then she started vomiting. All. Night. Long.

And so she will spend the best Valentine's Day ever on the couch, pink cheeked and dozing in her favorite cozy blanket. I will spend the best Valentine's Day ever doing laundry and bleaching the house from top to bottom. And the best Valentine's Day treats ever are going in the trash.

I hope your day is much better than hers.....

(you can call it a friendship day or I Love You day gift!)

good luck! hoping for a speedy recovery and that no one else gets it!
