So not into you this year! vday rant

Any of you ever watch Gilmore Girls? Well I am a fan, own the whole series on DVD and watch reruns as often as I can. If you watch it you will know that she ( Lauren Graham's character) loves snow about as much as I love Vday. I love hearts, flowers specifically roses, candy of course and fairy tale like love stories. I love the smile you can put on some one's face when you share love with them be it friend or child. I am a romantic at heart yet have rarely ever dated a man that felt the same but that is another story. My dear husband means well in his head but far from a hopeless romantic is terribly true.
Anyway, this year from a series of unrelated circumstances most of which small things I feel far from lovey today. In fact it feels like just another Monday with the work of doing my predictable gifts mostly done. I am forcing myself to make heart things for my expecting children but other than that I am over it. So over it! I don't want to attend my children's parties, or finish the goody bags I have made for them. I want to pretend this day isn't today and is over. Then I am so sad that I feel this way too. I don't want others to steal my joy for what I love but well here I sit.
This bit of my favorite show speaks volumes about my changing emotions for what once was my fav day. Take a moment to re watch or enjoy for the first time. I am certain most of us living in my area appreciate the disdain for snow at the moment.

Hope it made you laugh a bit, and hope your Vday inspires you more than mine:)
I will say my hubby is trying to be sweet even while at work so maybe like this episode it will all come back around tonight. If you can't remember that here's another clip;) See its still in me somewhere....

    Sorry to hear you and cupid are on the outs. Hope the day got better. Thanks for sharing the GG clips. Reminds me of so many great times we shared watching the show or talking about the show together.

Talking is fundamental

Image
6 people live in this house of mine. Most days there is plenty of space for everyone to move about separate of another. The outdoors is 10 acres of mostly wide open space for freedom. The one thing there is not enough of is quiet. #1 can talk your ear off and then some. He continues to read and reread his Titantic book, quizzing his siblings and myself. I really don't understand how Daddy misses out on the quizzes but some things may never be understood. The only way I get quiet is to allow electronics. I will admit that I have done that more than once to ensure a moment or two to think, better yet not think. Since #2 and #3 are playing ball this summer he keeps saying he is going to play next summer. Poor thing feels left out of the hustle and bustle. I am not so sure he would enjoy the pressure to perform but we shall see. #2 can talk as she chooses but is easily engrossed in her writing or reading. Conversations with her are based on real life events, or thoughts about futu...

Ugh!

My husband has this cough, ANNOYING cough which appears to have absolutely no purpose in life. I must endure in silence because I am pretty sure he wouldn't do it if he could help. Yet all I can think of is the last time I tried to be politely quiet which back fired. Stop me if you have heard this story, or well skim ahead. :) I was awaiting the birth of #2. It was night and I was 9 cm dilated. Although this was my 2nd full term child, it was my first real labor with #1 being a breech c-section. The time approached 9pm and the thoughtful well practiced nurses encouraged me to "get some rest" before I was to push. You never know how short or long pushing turns into so I readily agreed (the epidural making it possible to think about relaxing in the first place). All (as in the 4 other people) were kicked out of the room but hubby decided to come back. I suppose his concept of not leaving me completely alone was well intentioned but what took place was far from helpful. I ...

Valentines, Boys and food

Last night all 3 big kids sat with me on the little couch reading books. One of them was called will you be my valentine. Michael asked what a valentine was and as I was explaining about "boy" friends and boy friends/ girl friends and "girl" friends. Annabeth then says so you and Daddy knew each other when you were kids. I tell her no and she gets confused. She asked some more questions suprised to hear that Daddy wasn't my only boyfriend. She asks if I kissed the other boys and I hestitated but said yes. She asked how old I say when you are 16 you might kiss a boy, HA! Daddy chimes in and says more like 20. All the kids yell at him because he usually does add something to tease with. Annabeth then covers her mouth and says I am NOT going to kiss a boy. Jan 1st 2010 we were heading to eat Chinese. It was 10:30am. Joey said I haven't eaten breakfast. I said well you should have done that before we were leaving can't you wait. He said nothing so I left t...
