If you are avoiding Valentine's Day, Facebook is not the place to be.
You're welcome.

There's not one mention of VD on my Facebook feed. Mine is full of selfies of couples taken much too close. I can count zits and nose hairs - its a great game. |

If you are looking for discounted chocolate, go now! Not that I looked this morning or anything. The stores may or may not have much left. The only saving grace of this day is it's my mom's birthday.  Nothing like a woman going into a florist to buy flowers on February 14th. I feel like I get a lot of oh, how sad stares. |

Truth. Thanks. I'm laying low.
Little guy made a valentine at school. "Thanks for all you have (not) done!" I don't know if he was trying to be funny? He couldn't comprehend why I wasn't overjoyed to receive it and refused to accept it. And it's laminated!!
He started backpedaling when his brother explained what was wrong with it. "I meant thanks for everything you do AND don't do! Can't you put the side with my picture on it on the refrigerator?" I capitulated on that point.
His nana wants to take him to the dollar store to buy me a gift. He really wants to, to make up for the terrible card. I've received a couple of texts today, a card in the mail from one gf and another dropped off flowers and is ordering pizza for us for dinner. I appreciate their thoughtfulness.
ETA Ds came home and made a big production out of making me wait in another room and having me come in with my eyes closed. He got me a Valentine's balloon, a sweet card, cotton candy which he knows I like, and a little tchotchke for my desk. He was so cute. And again reiterated that he wasn't being mean with the valentine he wrote at school. I said I forgive you and he gave me a huge hug. All is well.

I predict...DH will stop for flowers on the way home from work, spend too much on a dinner he didn't plan until he got to the store, make dinner which will be done at approximately 8:00 (he cooks sloooow) and he'll leave me a kitchen with every dish we own dirty and sitting on the counter. Feeling a little cynical today...but that's been about the last 10 Valentines Days so why change things up  |

DH doesn't have a romantic bone in his body. He doesn't even try. I hate Valentine's Day.
He's a great guy, except for this!

I don't get all up in arms for holidays and birthdays. I bought DH & DS each a giant chocolate crinkle cookie at work. Buffalo chicken pasta is in the crockpot. We'll eat at home then go to see John Wick 2. I'm so excited about the movie. No idea if I will get anything and I don't care. I know they love me with or without presents.

Valentine's Day??  Oh, you mean Forever Alone Day?  Yep, that would be the day I'm having too. And yes, I'm waiting for the chocolate to be discounted tomorrow at Target and Walgreens. Maybe go out to Walmart, if I'm ambitious. |

I've seen far more people saying how much they dislike today than people talking about celebrating it. I'm sick as a dog right now, so I'm not doing a single thing other than blowing my nose and whining to anyone who will listen.  |

Even if it's not fancy, at least you didn't have to cook it or clean it up, LOL. If I'm being honest, having to clean up a mess like that would just tick me off!  Soooo NOT worth it! |

Lol! A little explanation, please! The only cage we own is the one the rabbit lives in... and it was in DS writing with his teacher "translating" under it so I know she read it... |

My kid's teacher must think I'm narcoleptic or something because every time there is some kind of parent questionnaire the kids have to fill out, hers always says, "My mom's favorite thing to do is... TAKE A NAP." Hmm. Maybe if my kid would quit sneaking into my bed at 2:30 in the morning like the little nighttime ninja she is, I would be able to sleep *at night* like normal people do!  |

I read that as he is saying thanks also for the things you don't do -like maybe not being mad if he doesn't finish chores, etc. I didn't read that as something mean. Obviously, I don't know you or your son, but maybe he really did mean it as a positive! Hang in there! |

So DH is out of town and this is the first time he's been gone on VD day... UMMMM DUDE.. thanks for the nice FB posts but you were here the last 20 VD days... and did you ever do anything 'special' before ..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......So don't get all misty eyed and sad cause you are gone and if I did get something his idea of something special is buying overpriced flowers at the grocery store sometime today IF he thinks about it).. . This is the first year that I really don't care!! If he was home I would have been hoping to see something. But really I don't even care one bit today. |

"Thanks for all you have (not) done!" he could have meant "thank you for not ignoring me, beating me with a big stick or making me eat dog food". he SHOULD be grateful for that. i don't like VD (well, either of them, lol!). i broke up with a guy on valentines day. DH and i do nothing, i would feel way more special if he bought me flowers one day HE decided to think of me, not a day he feels pressured/obligated. |

We exchange a card and he buys me a big cookie and I got him some Tootsie Rolls. Small gestures. We also either go out to eat (fast food is fine as long as I don't have to cook). Our anniversary is in a week, so VD has never been a big deal. Come to think of it, neither is our anniversary. We usually buy something for the house. We are practical. Last year we bought deck cushions. That said love to me!
