H and D7 came back from the grocery store this afternoon, and D7 rushed in with a bunch of tulips: "mommy, i got you flowers for Valentine's Day. Tulips are your favorite!" which is true. I made a big deal of it to her, hugged her and asked if they were from her and she said yes.

H came in after her and I said "D brought me tulips!" and he looked at me like I was stupid and said "I know, I was with her"
well, duh.

I put them in a vase on the table and thanked D again. Have no idea whether that's "it" for vday; guess I'll know tomorrow.

Have ya'll realized how HARD it is to find a v-day card for your H/W? OMGosh, I must have spent the better part of an hour trying to find one that wasn't grossly inappropriate ("our love is better than ever" kind of sap) or stupid ("for a special friend"). I almost gave up and bought him a non-V card with a smiley face on it, then got him a humorous one instead. Two lions with a sheep in between them holding an "I love ewe" sign. Inside says "Read between the lions". har har. Ya'll seriously. That was the best I could find that wasn't formal script and gold foil about My Husband, The Love Of My Life. Damn. That sucked. I hadn't had to 'filter' like that before, and it was depressing as hell.

Ugh.

On a brighter (maybe?) note, H read the blog today -thank you again Theo for the 2nd comment you posted, it was great \:\) but H hasn't mentioned anything. Maybe later he will? I will NOT prompt him to talk about it, but wish he would get closer to my page in the book about us. sigh.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
