Need Advice!! Not sure on next move? Part 2

[ScaredinCanada]

Dixie,

I am dreading V-Day as well. Do you have any single friends or someone in your family that you could out with on Monday?

If it was upto me, I'd go out with a friend for dinner and movie or something - leave my cell phone at home and just have a fun night otherwise you'll be sitting at home feeling like crap. No point in doing that.

For me I want to be there for my babies, so I am going to plan a nice dinner and I'm stopping on the way home to pick up some little gifts to give them (some candy or chocolate and probably a V-Day style craft).

They'll appreciate it, and it will allow me to remove the focus from my W. I also assume it will make her feel good to see me being thoughtful to the kids - and if not, oh well no concern here.

I think for your H's birthday, a simple text. Just saying, "Happy Birthday" with no "!" or ":)" or anything extra, just simple or just mail/give him a very simple card with no extra ILY's or anything in it.

Good luck!
