I felt like I was suffocating earlier.  I had to leave the house; to just get out and do something ~ anything ~ out of the norm.  I am glad Michelle was home.  She kept an eye on M.  A is a completely different child away from M.  It is like all of her stress melts away and she begins to breathe again.  I do too. 



And I somehow managed to make it "the best Valentine's Day ever."  Let's see, I bought a Beanie Babie at Goodwill, Hershey's kisses at Wal-Mart, and a BK kids meal.
