Ok, so valentine's day has never really been a big holiday for me...this year I decided to go all out for the kids. I dressed them up, did silly little things through the day, we even took some candy/cards to a nursing home. And it was a pretty good day. H came over for dinner with the kids and brought me a thoughtful gift from them. He made a comment about not having gotten anything for V day...I dunno if that means he's not with the OW anymore or if she just didnt get him a gift. The kids and I had made sugar cookies and gave him a little Valentine from them.
We're not broke yet, but really struggling with running two households. He's stressed about that, but being pretty good to me. I hate that all of our past successes and smart decisions are going down the tubes. I may have to go back to my job, which was not the plan, but thankful that it is an option to go back post baby 2.
He did the dishes after dinner and played with the kids. Nothing romantic or reconnecting, but it was a nice visit. My little ones love their dad and I'm glad he's being a better person for them.
