Well, we have a trip to Hawaii to pay for.
So I didn't want much for Valentine's day.
I came home the other night and told Zach that these are what I wanted.
I need new curlers...like 2 years ago.
They are clean, cute, and just pink enough to pass as Valentine's day gift.
Also, I am a practical gift person.
Even better if the practical gift is thoughtful.
I.E. Mom giving me OLAY Quench and new razors as my "end of school year gift"
Knowing I'd be wanting to keep my legs silky smooth.
Thoughtful. Because razors and lotions and keeping my legs smooth is very me.
But also practical. I will use it.
This is probably a topic I could blog about all on it's own.
I digress.
I have changed my mind for Valentine's day.
What I really want?
I really want Zach to finish all of his homework.
We will be celebrating Valentine's day the weekend after the day.
I want all of his homework done.
And I want to climb in bed on Friday night
(not in a dirty way)
and I want to spend the ENTIRE weekend with my husband.
I miss him.
Here's the deal:
He is in class until 10 or later three nights a week.
And EVERY night...class or not...he's doing homework until after I've fallen asleep.
Gone are the days of a movie while cuddling on the couch.
Gone are the days of going to sleep at the same time together and cuddling to sleep.
Sure, he wakes me up and cuddles me when he climbs in but it's not the same.
I was spoiled.
And I want my husband back.
That's what I want for Valentine's day.
And then I'll probably cry on Sunday night when it's all over.

That's so hard-hang in there! I remember when Kent and I were first married and he had somewhat of the same schedule and it was so hard for me to be alone all the time like that. And now he's starting grad school, so we're kind of back in the same boat. But I'm just convincing myself that it will all be worth it in the end. :D
And I hope you get to have a perfectly lovely Valentine's Weekend.
P.S. Those curlers are the cutest curlers I've ever seen. :D
Not gone, but postponed. Cherish the ones you do get. :) Once the kids come, cuddling and a movie means a cartoon, lots of blankets, popcorn, sippy cups, and if you are lucky you get to hold your husbands hand! :) It's a whole new kind of great!
