I thought I was being quite clever when I planned my little V-Day surprise for the hubby...unfortunately it didn't totally work out as planned...
My husband gets up every morning around 4:45 to leave the house by 5:15 to get to work before 6:30 AM. Me & Jenna usually snooze our way through the morning and don't get up until well after he's gone, around 8 AM.
Clever little me decided it would be sweet to cook my husband a V-Day breakfast of bacon & heart-shaped pancakes. It sounded good in theory... So I set my alarm to get up early.
The alarm went off and I roll out of bed at 4:45 (I am not a morning person, btw) and did I mention I'm completely blind without my glasses? So I head to the fridge without my glasses, open it and see my beautiful flowers from my husband.
As I pull my flowers out of the fridge, I proceed to knock over his mom's flowers all over my kitchen floor - water and leaves are everywhere. Damn! So I try to clean up the mess and realize I'm running out of time to cook breakfast.
So I hurry and start the bacon and pancakes. I used one of the shake and pour pancake mixes for the first time. Little did I know those suckers build up pressure while your shaking. I opened the bottle and mix blew up all over me - face, hair, shirt, everywhere!
(Warning: Pancake mix may blow up in your face!)
So with what little mix that was actually left in the container, I attempted the pancakes. I used a heart cookie cutter, but was having trouble getting the right amount so it wasn't too thick. The first one I tried ended up deformed... looking more like a massacred pancake than a heart pancake. The second one I tried burned... and set off the smoke alarm.
So my pancakes should have looked like this:
They ended up looking more like this:
My husband runs in trying to turn the smoke alarm off...he did but it was too late, I woke Jenna up. So here I am on Valentine's Day with water all over the floor, pancake mix in my hair and eyebrows, burnt, deformed pancakes, and a mad woken up baby.
Needless to say, I finally whipped up edible pancakes for my husband before he left for work :-) What did everyone else do for V-Day?

Oh man, it's the thought that counts right?? Don't feel bad.. I've tried to make mickey mouse pancakes for my kids and ended up burning the heck out of them. Not cool!
You know... I am proud of you. Not only did you make the effort, which is really the biggest thing afterall, but when it didn't turn out to plan, you didn't collapse and cry... you came through with breakfast! As a man, I can assure you that this is a big plus. :-)
