Alas, we won’t be celebrating in my house, but I wish a happy day to all anyway. Yes, my husband says Valentine’s is a mere Hallmark holiday and he can’t be convinced to do something loverly just because jewelry stores say he should. And who said I’m looking for jewelry???
Regardless, I really like Valentine’s Day and I wish we did celebrate. I think it’s nice to have a day each year set aside for lover’s. In fact, I wish they’d do away with Sweetest Day because it really make Valentine’s Day seem more like a Hallmark holiday then I think is really intended. (those bazillions of stuffed animals, candy heart boxes and flowers wouldn’t have anything to do with that image) A handmade card, breakfast in bed or even just a nice back/shoulder massage would do me well… Instead, I have a sick husband who plans to sleep as much of the day away before having to head back into work. Romantic huh?
I did get a little Valentine’s action this week helping the kids get ready for their little school parties. Neither wanted to write out their little Valentine’s…so mom got to do it. I also had to help L pass them out to the right persons treat bag. C passed out his own. He did make one Valentine for his little friend G (a girl) and it said, “I love you G.” I hope her parents don’t have a fit…that was all him! I couldn’t convince him that I’d lost it either. I don’t know if she was embarrassed or not, but she did give him a great big hug, so perhaps all is well? I wonder what the boys in his class will say?
So Jessa Said...
