We just had Valentine’s day. Both Joe and I don’t generally don’t do a lot, nor would the budget allow for anything extravagant. I went and visited a friend in the morning, and when I came back Joe had left me this sweet little progression of notes:

There was love music playing too. It was adorable and made my day. We did have coffee cake (which tastes better in the south, so does corn bread: the humidity makes it less crumbly), and made a cheesecake. The cheesecake was almost not to be. Joe and I went to go make it and discovered that graahmn crackers could go rancid. The crust was made with animal crackers instead, and turned out just fine.

My medicaid application finally went through which now means I actually have insurance for my kids. For all those who want socialized medicine, try going through a medicaid application. Lots of waiting in line, calling, and worrying in order to get approved. But I am grateful they have the program, because otherwise I would have no way to insure my children.

Also this is a tip for very pregnant women–wearing comfortable clothes makes you feel ever so much better. Yesterday I put on a pair of pants that just didn’t fit and I hated pregnancy all day. Over-the-belly pants are the only way to go for me right now. I am very large. Still a month to go (more or less).
