Not that I'm saying MH tries to plan anything ever, but I'm just cheap. Same. We normally don't do anything for Valentines as far as gifts. But I found an original print ad of his grandpa's motorcycle on ebay and got him that.

We aren't big Valentine's people either. The kids picked MH out a box of chocolate and we got him a case of Mountain Dew. Some years I do nothing. I'm sure he'll either do nothing or give me a card and candy. I got the kids each a chocolate rose and another small candy.

I got mh a set of Fall Out pint glasses and I got Cadence the starfish Enchantimal. I'll likely get them both some sort of Valentine candy as well.

No big gestures on valentines here too. We get each other cards and I have an inkling (he accidentally mentioned a store that he had no business visiting yesterday) that Dh has gotten me something, so I got him something small, thank for for the internet. We might get something nice to eat, that’s about it.

Cards for V Day over here, that's all we ever do and I'm fine with it.
I get the kids little goodies though.

I know tgrimes said she checked in with vino the other day and she's alive, but is everything ok? It's been a while... hope she's doing all right! vino vino (maybe it's like Beetlejuice? Mention her name 3 times and she appears?)

Hi. klong11 I wore a mask to drop the kids off the week I had the flu. She is probably sick. flamingo sorry you all have the crud. Hope you feel better soon. peachsmama I like the door. I want to paint ours this spring, but having a hard time with colors. Our house is very brown, even the trim, so not sure what color yet.

Maybe I should just spam her phone with close ups of my face until she returns.

MH asked me what we were going to do for Valentine’s Day. I looked at him and told him nothing. He was bummed but I just can’t get it up for Valentine’s Day this year. I have so much else going on, that there is not much room for extras. Sorry H. 🤷🏽♀️
I do want to go see Black Panther this weekend, so maybe I could see if my friend can watch the kids this weekend while we go see it.

Add me to list of those that miss vino. Now I have the “baby come back” song playing in my head.

I had a couple of presents for the kids for vDay, but I am trying to keep our stuff to a minimum since I'm just going to have to pack it up in a couple of months. So each kid has a cute bag full of candy and little things like stickers and kazoos.

I used to be anti-valentines day on principle, but at the same time I really just like an excuse to celebrate anything. I got the little kids hooded animal towels, heart-shaped plates, practical joke stuff (my 5yo really wanted a whoopy cushion for some ungodly reason, so I went with it), Kindereggs, finger puppets, candy, etc. H got sweatpants, a chocolate stout, and Ghirardelli (in all my favorite flavors). I am making heart shaped pizzas for dinner and Flamingos' Famous Red-velvet Valentine Cookies for dessert. Oh, and we are currently decorating shirts for tomorrow.
If I can squeeze in in anything else pink or heart-shaped, I likely will because I am extra with holidays.

Okay WWN13 do? My in-laws live on the corner of a busy street. Shop/front door, pavement, bike lane (on which motor scooters can also drive), parking lane, big two way road with heavy traffic, buses, trucks, cars etc. Today I found out that they let ds play outside without supervision, I am really not okay with this. He a very sensible boy, but he’s also a 4yo who would run after a balloon. Am I overreacting here?

dapostrophe I love that you’re going all out! Of course it’s commercial etc, but it’s also fun to do something extra, no matter what the reason is!

Our machine at work went down this morning so I moved my dental cleaning to this afternoon and I am just leaving our team care clinic. I’m over the congestion and cough, so I came in search of steroid shot or zpack. Leaving with a z pack and meds for the cough. Hopefully I’ll be in the clear soon.
I got a chest X-ray at work, and no pneumonia, so that was good.
MH ate some of the candy for M’s Valentine’s and I found out as I was putting them together at 10pm last night. Rage. Headed to the store for more now before I go to the dentist. It would have been nice to just go home and sit in peace and quiet for the afternoon. Le sigh.

nam2013, I don't think you're overreacting. I would not be okay with that either. Is there a side or backyard he can play in instead?

It would have been nice to just go home and sit in peace and quiet for the afternoon. Le sigh. Omg...I would be super pissed too, but I am your H in this scenario. I literally just ate something I bought my H for valentine's day. I would admit it if I ate the KID'S valentine's stuff though, that's messed up.

nam2013 You are not over-reacting, that is a very real concern. How did you find out?
