Valentine's Day Sweeties

Anna was sweet on Valentine's Day and initiated breakfast in bed for me, which everyone helped to prepare. Later that night we had a Valentine's dinner together; it was a very sweet night with my favorite sweeties.
My breakfast was wonderful; they even managed to make coffee for me. I drink coffee every once in awhile but Derek never drinks it. When we got married I didn't have it as often since he didn't care for it and then with subsequent pregnancies/nursing periods, I ended up drinking it rarely. In the last couple of years it has made a slight comeback and I make it maybe once a month on average. That being said, when it came time to make coffee that morning, Derek was clueless. The kids knew where I kept the coffee, but Derek spent five minutes looking around for a filter. He was unsuccessful but he noticed there was an old filter with coffee in it that I had accidentally left in the coffee maker when I had last made coffee-- a few weeks ago. In his non-experience he figured that it would be fine to re-use that old one... it's all coffee, right? So he threw a little fresh coffee on top and ran it.
Before I knew this, I actually drank some of the coffee. I didn't drink much since it tasted a little off and, although I'm no coffee connoisseur, I don't like odd tasting coffee. I didn't even think of it again until later when Derek told me the 'can't find the filter' story. I cringed and laughed and showed him where the coffee filters are-- right underneath the coffee!
