valentines

I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day, not just because I'm single. They have been some of the worst days I can remember with all of my ex-boyfriends! LOL! All that expectation, disappointment, etc., over essentially a Hallmark holiday. Sorry to be a bummer!

That said, my sister brought me flowers and a chocolate heart-shaped lollipop, which was a very nice surprise. I like to celebrate the people I love everyday! That's one of the reasons I scrap.

Dh gave me a hilarious card and some candy and said in the card that he looked for a gift for me but didn't know if I'd like what he would pick so he wants to take me out to lunch/shopping to pick something. Awww. He also gave dd a cute card.

I gave all the kids nice hardback journals for us to write notes back and forth to each other. I thought they'd be kind of disappointed that it wasn't candy or something but OMG they were SO excited about it!! I gave them the gifts at bedtime and they were all bummed they didn't have time to write in them tonight. LOL. I've been wanting to do this forever so I'm really excited!

So sweet of your man. That is so wonderful what you did for the kids. As a journal/writing geek, I totally love stuff like that. So cool for your kiddos. I hope to do that with Kennedy when he's old enough. I have started writing him letters in a journal so he'll have it when he's older. There are way too many things to write about and it is impossible to get *all* of those things in a scrapbook page.

Awww Melanie, I wish I could give you a big big hug!! Try not to think about it anymore. Get busy doing something else, and when you look back, this will look so insignificant. I too tend to get all worked up about little things - it's hard not to when you have certain expectations, and it's soooo easy to put together little unrelated things and see a big picture going on! Clearly, your husband had no clue of what you would have liked, and sometimes we just have to spell things out for them.. Which of course takes all the romance out of it... *sigh*

Thanks for the uplifting words. I really needed to hear them too. Yea, I'm over it and I do think I need to go have my hormone levels checked because I have been a really 'boo-hooer' these past few days. This is so not me either. Thanks for reminding me about the 'little things'.
