Hairy Valentines and Sharp Razor Blades

I could post a picture but it wouldn't be pretty so this will have to do.
This post is a little long, the good part is at the bottom.
 Valentines Day was a little crazy.  But I'm learning to be Zen about my version of crazy so here goes:
Valentines Eve we (kids and I) did aprox 80 Valentines.  Apparently I can't count because we ran out of candy and 2 short on the number of valentines needed.   
All notes from the school say VERY LOUDLY do not send unless you send for the entire class. 
It's Sunday -  OX in the Mire  - so we sent Indy to the store for additional Valentines and candy.
Made Valentine Boxes - Started with my idea being 'lame and girly' and ended up with an acceptable Star Wars Bag with Yoda saying, "Valentines, give me you will."
Put kids in bed
Set table for Valentines breakfast and set out kids Valentines
Made two types of sugar doe for cookies - heaven forbid I decide on one recipe. 
( always go with real butter)
Found software on internet to create and print HEART bingo for school class party
 (I think I'm in love with GOOGLE)
 crashed for a few hours of sleep
Valentines Day - 
Completely missed my kids opening their Valentines because I was busy putting together games for the class party (note to self: be better prepared next year)
Bubba Nap - Took Princess to her friends house
Chocolate fountain and games for Masters 4th grade class.  
The kids thought this was WAY COOL and for 30 seconds I was a rock-star,
 BUT I haven't done a chocolate fountain in a long time and I forgot how much work it is.  
This class is in a portable with no sink and no water.  As I was carrying the chocolate fountain still full of chocolate to my car the wind started to blow...
 yeah I was a little covered with chocolate by the time I made it to the car.
Changed clothes
Made dinner for friend that is going through Chemo
 (This involved take and bake pizza, bread, and salad BUT the cookies were entirely homemade)
Gathered Bubba, Princess, and stickers and headed to Sport's school party.
Ran to Bountiful for OT with Sport's FAVORITE girl RoXann.
Met Master at home and sent him to Soccer
 I took this particular day to work from home due to the number of class parties etc. but I was still looking at my BB every 5 minutes to return emails, txt and phone calls.
Took Sport to Karate where he tested for his yellow belt 
(happy day! I actually remembered the testing form and the check-book)
While Sport finished at Karate, Princess and I ran an errand
This is where the story gets interesting,
Indy had already given me a gift the night before and I had nothing for him.
I think I have warped my daughter for life...
What good Mormon mom drags her baby and and 5yr old daughter to Victoria Secret on Valentines?
Me
She had several ideas of what I should by.  She finally picked out something with a pink bow and sparkle red hearts on it.  I would probably classify it as kinky she said it was "cute".  I said, "awesome lets buy it, wrap it, and GO!"
Story gets slightly better.
After dinner we (Indy and I ) had a soccer game -we lost
Home-work done, kids in bed, quote emailed to Dr.Black..
Time for some lovin!!!
I grabbed a new razor and rushed for the shower
I donned my VS "cute" purchase and jumped into bed
A few minutes later Indy says "Where is all this blood coming from?"
I looked down at my leg and apparently my razor was a little too new and a little too sharp.  I had nicked my leg (in a couple places) and my legs and the sheets looked  like a little war zone.  woops! mood killer...
Moral of the story:   DO not use a new razor on Valentines and maybe shop VS by myself!!
