The forgotten valentine...

I don't know where my head is lately. I am just walking around with my head in the clouds I think. So Noah goes to preschool and every week the teacher sends home a letter talking about the week to come. I saw the little section about the valentines party they were having today and thought I read that if you wanted to make cards for all the kids you can. Well I thought about it for a second and that was it. It didn't even cross my mind that my poor little guy would be the only one not giving cards to each other and when all the other moms opened their child's valentines my son would be the only one who didn't give their child one! My mom called me from his school and asked if he has valentines and then it hit me! I am such a mom fail this week! My son doesn't have valentines, I didn't make a treat and I don't plan on doing anything for them for valentines day! I immediately burst into tears and now I feel so terrible I don't want to look at anything with a heart on it!  Usually I am so on top of things and a head of the game and have holidays marked on the calender. Since Noah was born we haven't celebrated valentines day per say. He was born on the 7th of February and it was a really rocky start with him so on the 14th we sat at the table eating dinner and said, oh ya its valentines day! We missed it all together and since then thats how its been. Guess now that I see the fail that this holiday is turning out to be I need to change my ways! Moral of the story, if your child has a valentines party, even if you don't know any of the kids names, make them valentines. For heavens sake don't let them be a forgotten valentine!
