For those who are single on Valentine's day...

Sarah Ban Breathnach (author of Simple Abundance) calls St. Valentine the Patron Saint of Disappointment.

When I was single I imagined everyone in the world was having the most romantic V day, but me! Now that I am married, I realize (of course) how ridiculous that notion was.

Just so everyone knows my plans today:

Drop off DS at preschool (finished valentines and cookies last night)

Help my mom (she just moved into a new house)
pick up DS- go home and clean

Go with DH AND DS out for pizza-come home and go to bed (DS still sleeps with us).
I specifically told DH not to buy me anything- put the money in our "Disney envelope", if you must!

Instead of buying him a silly card or candy that he won't eat (he's a bodybuilder), I think I will write him a letter and tell him how much I love and appreciate him.

If you are single, dont' be like me! Don't wait to live your life! Things are not "wasted" if it is just for you! '
Buy that house! Go on that dream vacation that you're "saving" for your honeymoon! Eat off of your good china and if you don't have any, why not?

Have a great valentine's day make yourself a great dinner for two- you and you again (also advice from Sarah).

Yes, I totally agree. Be good to yourself today.

When DS and I left this morning, we found valentinesfrom DH in the car!
He left a heart box of chocolates on my seat and candy and a lego set in my DS's seat! What a surprise.

Susy, thanks for those words of wisdom. I have been down all day, just stayed in the house alone, snapped at my 20 yr. old for stupid things. This isn't as bad as Christmas but it's close.

Thanks for those words of wisdom. I just ended it with someone recently. I put my life on hold for 3 years waiting for him to make a move. I've decided to move on and hopefully buy a house in the near future.
