Who Needs Valentines Day!

I was having a pretty bad day yesterday...the baby was being really cranky and I was super tired and unmotivated. I was pretty much at the end of my rope around 7:30 and could not wait for my husband to come home at 7:45...8 o'clock came and he still wasn't here, which was making me a bit nervous. Suddenly he pulled up and I was happier than ever to see those vehicle lights.
He came to the door with a bouquet of flowers and a sweet card. It was perfect timing and very unexpected. I asked if I should save the card till Valentines day to which he thoughtfully replied, "It's up to you. Everyday is Valentines Day to us."
I've always been anti-Valentines day. After spending most of my highschool and college years single, I remember the harsh sting of V-day...or as I called it...singles awareness day.
Now that I've been married for 4+ years to a super dude, everyday is special...everyday is loving....everyday is an excuse to show eachother how much we love eachother...with flowers, with clean laundry, with taking out the trash, with working hard, with raising our Son together and showing him how cool we think eachother is, with laughter, respect, hugs, kisses and thoughtfulness.
If you're single this Vday, who cares! You get to save your money and avoid the Valentines Day crowds...If you're with someone, don't give into the commercialism...use Vday as a reminder to be thoughtful everyday of the year.
