While I was at the store last night, I searched for a Valentine's Day card to give you. As your wife, there's an unwritten rule that I'm supposed to give you a card or something special. More than that, I wanted to. While we exchange "I love you's" daily, I want to use Valentine's Day as a reason to give you more than those daily messages, and I want to put a little effort into it.
I naturally went first to the witty cards but only giggled at the one with the rooster on the front and the message, "Cock-a-doodle-do me" on the inside. I then turned to the romantic ones knowing most would be too sappy for my liking but hopeful that I'd uncover one with a peaceful image and a simple message from the heart or one that was perfectly "us." Nothing struck me as worthy of my buying it and giving it to you.
I decided I'd come up with ten Valentine's Day messages that are more "us" and deliver them to you through my blog:
- Meet me upstairs at 8:53pm - the kids should be asleep and I should still be awake. Happy Valentine's Day!
- Two kids, a cat and a home - I think we hit a grand slam! Happy Valentine's Day!
- There is no one I'd rather raise these lunatics with than the person who helped me create them. Happy Valentine's Day!
- Crazy sock issues run in your family, not mine. Happy Valentine's Day!
- I saw the cards the kids made for their teachers for Valentine's Day. This is further proof that you really are a great dad, not that we need any proof. Happy Valentine's Day!
- Meet me on the couch for an extra long foot massage today. Happy Valentine's Day!
- No, I did not shut my door. Happy Valentine's Day!
- Here's hoping we don't have to say "no thumb, please" or "wipe your buns" on Valentine's Day!
- Thanks for supporting and encouraging me in my recent job choices. Happy Valentine's Day!
- Okay... I have to... Cock-a-doodle-do me! Happy Valentine's Day!
