I lie to my friends. I tell them what a great v-day I had. But reality ...

I wake up 2 hours before normal this morning.  4:30 am!  I drag myself out of bed and rush to Dunkin' Donuts.  Get fresh heart shapped donuts and his favorite cup of coffee.  I send sweet text all day, reasons why I love him.  We planned that dinner would be at 4, and because of schedules and things, I tell him I will handle the dinner.  I pick up Sushi, his favorite.  Lobster Sushi, salmon, tuna ... THE WORKS!  I set the table at home.  Candles everywhere, sparkling water (We don't drink) in the ice bucket, soft love music playing, red table cloth, whtie napkins.  You get the picture.  We walks in, I take his coat, I make him feel relaxed.  We eat dinner.  I managed to get away to a "secret little store" during the past few weeks and picked up some "toys" especially for him.  I wrapped them adorably!  I got two wonderful v-day cards, and wrote a poem inside!  I give him his gifts.  We make his favorite BANANA SPLITS!  

-- CUT --

Time to get the boys!  I run to get the boys, drop them off, feed them ... AND ... head to give my oral presentation mid term grad in graduate school!!! Get home. Take care of boys.  He yells at me because it took an extra 15 minutes then planned.  

He throws a card, 3 roses, and a starbucks gift card (that he got while I was picking up my boys) at me while I am changing a diaper!  

I downloaded a movie that I knew he has been wanting to watch.  I got specialty popcorn and cherry limeade!  The room was set up for a message!  And he is sleeping and I am watching the movie.  

And  before he laid down he said a bunch of mean things.  LIke how I am materialistic and don't appreciate my flowers.  That my birthday is this month so I don't deserve a valentine's day. 

I am balling my eyes out.  I don't expect much.  But when dinner time has been planned a week in advance, can't he think to at least have a card for me, or an I love you.  Even be awake now for a little massage.  SOMETHING!

 I find that, the bigger expectations you put on things like this (especially with the unpredictability of children) the harder the fall is when things dont go as planned... and from my experience, very little ever goes exactly as planned...

So sori dear. @ least he got you something. Mine didn't, not even a miserable card, nor a text except he changed his profile on bbm to my name forever! And still didn't bother to send me a mssge.

Shouldn't you be in there proving him wrong, instead of complaining about it on CM?

Wow. I am amazed at how many women are upset about not having the perfect Valentine's day. It is fucking pathetic.

Seriously!? The flowers and Starbucks card wasn't thoughtful? Maybe if you didn't bitch and moan about not having the perfect day, your husband would try harder. Damn.
