how are you spending today?

[beansbeans!]

why is today a free day for single people to be angry at couples? I opened my FB page this morning and all my single friends had similar status'. "Hiding under rock until tomorrow", "for those who have partners, enjoy today cause Im not", etc...

This got me thinking...

They think they have it bad, but have a thought for those whose partners are in hospitality. Like me.

Today, Dh goes to work earlier than normal. Why? Because today he is fully booked, nothing but tables of two. Today he won't be home til midnight.
Tonight all those lucky people who have booked tables, who have got the kids babysat, will have the most amazing meal, consisting of the most gorgeous produce. My Dh is an awesome chef (and thats not being biased either), tonight those lucky people will be treated to an awesome valentines night.

Whilst Im at home eating mac and cheese, which I am sure will involve both girls throwing their food everywhere, the tantrums and demands. But don't worry, today is valentines day, a special day, so I just may join in!
I must admit for the first time in a long time Dh brought me home some flowers last night, which he picked from the rose bushes at his work. he even wrapped them in baking paper!

So how are you spending today?

Spending the day studying. Dh wOrking tonight. I did see him this morning but we never mentioned valentines. I might make the kids heart shaped pancakes.

[Party-of-five]

chances are high Ill spend most of the day in my pjs then run around 5 minutes before DH gets home so it doesnt look like ive been on BB all day

but then we are going out to dinner whilst MIL looks after the kids

haha I have a clingy bub day planned and some ebay stuff to send! ROCK ON!!!! Hubby did mention valentines day before he went to work, but I'd forgotten it!

Dh left for work at 6am with a kiss and happy valentines day. He will be home at 530pm for me to hand off miss 1 and say she needs a bath and I walk out the door to work in a restaurant till roughly midnight. Repeat this everyday this week.

I'm spending the day indoors with our little miss cause it's raining

Same as every other day!

[Catastrophic]

At home with sick kids, still in my pjs, cleaning the house and disinfecting it! No different :-D I did get a lovely card and a box of chocolates that i plan on eating in bed tonight :-D

[raffy]

my DF is on night shift but is starting work at 1 so he leaves in 5 mins, DS had his needles today so hes grumpy as and i just found a weird sore on the dogs leg so it looks like im off to the vet this arvo. i did however receive roses made out of chocolate and a nice gift box full of bath bombs and body washes. just wish DF would be home for us to have a bath together but oh well. happy valentines day beautiful ladies

Nothing different here. Early on there would be flowers, cards etc. This year I said no cards. To be honest there is no need (we are not real romantic types) and I would much rather spend the $10+ that would be spent on cards on something else.

If I was working, then I would like a bunch of flowers sent to work. Just a matter of priorities really.

It's just another day here.

[sconeonamission]

No different to any other day!

Why do I need one day in the year to tell him how much I love him? I can do that any day!!

[grub17]

home with my sick grumpy bub... again! cleaning, bb-ing, baby duties etc
We made daddy a valentines day card/drawing (DS's first foray into crayons!!)

and in about an hour DH will be home to care for DS while I go have our 21 week scan I'm going to ask the sonographer to write the sex on a piece of paper and pop it in an envelope (i've selected my best matching set of paper/envelope from my writing paper bundle)... and tonight we'll decide whether we're going to find out the sex

I am doing the usual dropping kids of picking kids up entertaining a toddler and doing housework while DH is at work.

When he comes home i will take DS to his swimming lessons, we will have dinner and then collapse and get the kids in bed.

I do however have a little surprise for him, I have made him a love heart cake with jam and cream ( his fav).
We do tell each other every day that we love each other but I just think its nice to do something special. We don't have the finance's to buy gifts.
and we normally don't as it is his birthday tomorrow.
We do little things for each other every day. But I had a aha moment in the shower this morning and wanted to do something a little special for him.

At home with a sick DH and a sick Bub, I'm not feeling so great myself.

[ElleJay]

How am I spending today?
Going into a workplace I hate

[Mak]

Home day with sick girls - so all still in PJ's here. Hopefully will get dressed and clean up a bit by the time DH gets home, lol. Was planning to go out and grab some nice dinner stuff but given the current state may just be beans on toast with love!

[Cocolove]

Home, on the comp shopping! DH has called in home on his rounds & rang twice and still hasnt said happy valentines day!
