I'm so overwhelmed with work at this point that I can't even imagine trying to schedule something. Also BFing is totally destroying my sex drive right now. Basically I'm the worst. One day things will get better, right?

We exchange cards and I'll make something special for dinner. I have to orchestrate preschool valentines but I don't really celebrate otherwise. Years of waiting tables has made me a little anti going out for valentines and New Year's Eve.
Nope, our 8 year anniversary is the week after but we don't have anything planned for that either. Part of the reason is because we don't have anyone to watch the kids so a romantic dinner of 4 doesn't sound as appealing.
I have a date with the dentist for a cleaning. We will just be getting home from DH's birthday trip on 13th so that's celebration enough. I also got him the BBQ smoker he has been wanting so no gifts (not that we usually do anyways)
I've never really liked Valentine's Day. When single, it just reminded me that I was single. And when in a relationship, I feel like there is so much pressure to make it a wonderful event. It's like New Year's - never lives up to the hype in my opinion. Pre kids, we used to go out to a nice dinner a week before or after Valentine's Day to avoid the crowds. Now we might eat chocolate on the couch after the kids are asleep.
We never make a big deal about it. Last year we went to a Chinese buffet, maybe this year we'll get Chinese takeout. As far as gifts we usually swap cards, candy, maybe some other small little gift like a bottle of wine and H gets me flowers. I think this year I might make him a beef jerky and candy bouquet because I know he'd get a kick out of it!

Our anniversary is Feb 19 so I think we will just skip, plus dh started a new job and doesn't get home until 7 pm and I'm too tired to do anything at thst point in the evening.
We usually do cards and something small - wine, candy, flowers. 2 years ago we both came home with Starbucks and a card, and of course each got our own drink too, so 2 lattes each! Typically we have dinner at home and I make a special dessert. The year dd was born was the only year we really went out because it was our last chance before kids.
We just decided to go to chik-fil-a this year. They're taking reservations and offering a free cookie or ice cream. I think it'll be fun to include dd (and ds not that he'll know the difference) and make it a family event.
