V-Day Confessions

vedahanks

I only sent Elizabeth in with the valentine cards - no goodies attached

I didn't get MH anything but I'm making heart-shaped pancakes for dinner ;-) Ha..this is hardly for him. He thinks it's weird to have pancakes for dinner. He got me flowers so far but there might be more. I'm guessing chocolate.

Love that my hubby sent me flowers to work... but I dont want to even think about what they cost... I guess he only does it once a year but still he could bring home the overpriced ones from the grocery store and I would be happy and it be cheaper too....guess I am just stingy!!!! I didnt buy hubby anything but making his favorite pasta salad and cookies for dessert so I guess that will count!

i don't have a present for anyone...

i got cards weeks ago, but totally dropped the ball on any presents...even for m...there's always the weekend, right?

I told DH last night that we shouldn't do cards or presents this year.  I think this might be the first year that we've been together that I haven't gotten him a card.  Hope he doesn't make me feel guilty by having something for me tonight!

I sent DS to school with just valentine's day cards yesterday.  All the other kids gave cards and candy.  Good thing he asked to bring some chocolates with him!  Kid is more together than I am!

I skipped the hallmark cards this year.  Instead I made picture greeting cards at Walmart.  I was pumped when I paid $1.85 for 5 cards....  I did this for Father Day last year and decided that I will never buy Hallmark cards for mh nor for the grandparents again.  They're expensive as sshit and they probably get thrown away.  I framed them and wrapped them up.

I get them at the Dollar tree! 50 cents and now they have nicer ones for $1.

I dont see the big deal about just cards LOL I have always done that. call me an under achiever.

My husband sent me flowers at work which means now I have to buy something for him on they way home which is a hassle. He said no gifts this year and now I get screwed. I would rather not have gotten the flowers LOL!

yes, especially that the card aisle is a big mess.

I went out after work yesterday to get W a Vday gift and looked all through TRU and you know what? He's spoiled. I got him a book and some candy and called it a day. He needs another car, game, truck like I need a hole in my head. And guess what, he was so thrilled and so thankful this morning when he opened his Mickey bag that it was totally worth it! "Thank you momma! Thank you for the new book! Dadda - did you see what my momma got me??!?!?!" - It was precious!!!!!

I always say I don't want flowers. They're too expensive, they just die....blah, blah, blah. That's BS. I'd love it if he sent me flowers, lol. They did give me a beautiful necklace with a big heart so that's nice.

And finally....I'm not going to bootcamp tonight. I want to go home and have dinner with my Valentine's and then have a chocolate covered strawberry with my favorite boy and then drink champagne with my other favorite boy. Class is at 7 & if I eat Vodka sauce before hand I'll hurl and if I wait to eat until after I won't enjoy it cause I'll feel guilty. So there. Sorry Kristen!

This is exactly how I feel. and MH came home last night and told me that he bought me a gift so now I have to figure out something to get him on the way home. Argh.

I got E nothing for V-day. I still didn't even give him his b-day presents from three weeks ago. Well thats not totally true. He saw some dino thing he must've gotten for his bday in the basement so B opened it with him this morning but that was purely coincidental not a Vday thing..

mbcdefg

We agreed on no gifts, but I'm secretly hoping that MH has flowers for me when we get home tonight.

I won't be upset if there aren't any, but I haven't gotten them in a while so it'd be nice. And it's always the supermarket or bodega bouquets (which I would hands-down rather have than a pricey florist arrangement that's oftentimes not much better than the cheapo bouquets) so it's not like it's an expensive treat.

Then I'd feel bad that I have nothing for him. I don't even have $2 cash to buy the roasted peanuts from the street vendor on my walk back to the PATH train :P

MrsV092207

DH got a card and a joke gift from the dollar store.. N just got a little book also from the dollar store (forgot a card for her), and I got a bag of Snickers (non-Vday related).  We may go out later, or just stay home for taco night 

Liz051405

We never did gifts or anything growing up for valentine's day. This year I got MH some candy and hopefully he got approximately the same for me.

He got a store bought card because my friends stood me up for scrapbooking Friday and he was nice enough to keep me company while I scrapbooked -- which meant I couldn't make his card.

He didn't get any homemade treats because I don't have time when he wasn't around.

But the daycare teachers got homemade cupcakes and a shared handmade card saying "Enjoy. From The _____ Family".

I think that means I am a great parent of student, but a lousy wife, right?

(MH didn't even get a cupcake cause he got some of that kind last week).

UsedToBeGoldie

I feel bad that I GOT my husband a v-day card... we don't usually do anything for each other- just the kids... and I am worried he'll feel like a schmuck if he doesn't get me one or pick up flowers on the way home or something... sometimes he does - so we'll see, but oh well, lol. He's getting a card from me

flowers from the grocery store would be nice- but I don't care either way... i would be MAD if he sent flowers and spent a ton of money - I don't even like red roses - i'd much prefer some tulips from the grocery store.

BeachBaby07

I feel badly that we met my sister for lunch, she is single and I didnt even think to get her something small from the kids until I was already sitting in the booth, and then thought how nice it would have been. She even bought us lunch, I wanted to but I treated last time. 

My kids had their party last week at school since they are off all this week, so I didnt even think to really do anything today. Now I feel badly because they watched little bear and his mom made a cake so I am going to start baking right now, I didnt make any special dinner plans so I have to fancy up pork chops somehow, and I only got my husband a card and he sent flowers to the house.

I am a Valentines slacker and I was OK with that but now I am feeling guilty!

I wish today weren't Valentines Day.  I must have a touch of what the baby has and between not sleeping and feeling crappy I can't wait for him to go to bed so I can go to bed.

ilovedave

i'm in a foul mood today.  not really sure why but i want nothing to do with v-day.  i don't feel romantic or lovey.  i made the kids heart pancakes but that's it.  didn't even make my husband a card.  not like he did anything either...he hasn't moved from the corner of the couch all day, again, so i guess we're even.

jessNdean

DH and I don't exchange gifts for v-day. Just a card and maybe flowers and chocolate. Its not a huge deal for me.  Morgan was very excited for Valentines day so I did go and pick up some things for her.  Other than that....its another day! ( i did order me 50 bucks worth of shampoo and conditioner that i love, so thats a gift to me! ha ha) Oh and will be ordering my iphone on Friday oh and DH is cooking Shrimp Alfredo tonight.  We do that every year for Valentine's Day.

I bought myself a fantastic groupon today... 105 minute massage at a local student clinic for $30.  I emailed the confirmation to my H and told him not to stop on the way home to get me anything, I'd already bought my own present  i'm sure this is cheaper than the flowers he would have bought otherwise, and I'd much rather have the massage.

dmendel

The only flower I got were from the guy at the gas station. Apparently they gave out a rose with your gas.  HA!

LaVitaBella

I have a game tonight till seven, so MH and the baby are making dinner.  I've said like 20 times that it would be great to get takeout.  I even left the menu and coupons on the counter for the Chinese place.  I know he won't get it.  This bums me out because 1. I have my mind set on Chinese and 2. He doesn't cook well.  I used to not mind and thought it was so cute, but it's really not cute anymore.  It's wasteful because he doesn't know how to cook and he burns stuff.

Regina you don't have to be sorry to me, only yourself- and while your eating your fatty vodka sauce you will still feel guilty cause you are not doing anything to work it off- V-day is a fake holiday and can be celebrated any day of the year- besides my two valentines go to bed early-  

Kristen81603

as for my real confession- i got nothing for anyone- not even a card for the kids- oh well- they need nothing and I am trying to curb spending on crap- 

I am GOING to bootcamp tonight, cause I need to workout some frustrations I am having this week with Mike's schedule and the kids are frankly driving me batty today. Kieran fell at school and is trying to use it as an excuse to be a little twerp, Mikey is on a tear and in a mood and I have AF. So, I am letting my mother put them to bed and I am getting out! HAPPY V-DAY to ME!

It's V-day, who says she's not going to work it off?  = P

My confession-- I was glad to see that Aidan didn't have anything crafty in his valentine mailbox.  Just paper cards-  some were just pieces of paper with a kid's name on them.  Guess Pinterest hasn't flooded the minds of the rest of the universe.  I can rest easy that my cards from Target continue to suffice.

Confession two-- my IL's watched the kids so we could have dinner together.  Which means, I ordered Chinese and we got it on like rabbits until the kids came home.  No cards, no flowers, nada.  Bootie= best v-day gift.  = )

melbride2005

I almost puked today when I bought 2 cards (one for Frank, and one for him from Bella)...hello, $9.50 later.  It's my fault for putting it off until the last minute and going to the closest place to my office, but that's it...no more cards!

no romantic night here - my MIL had dinner with us, as usual for Tuesday nights
