The entire family had dinner at home. Mac & cheese
There was a lot of snow, so even my husband worked from home.
I'm currently breastfeeding. The baby is almost asleep, but I wanted to finish catching up on YM before I put him down in his crib.
Very romantic, my night!

DD threw up and DH is suffering from a potentially fatal case of the man flu, also known as a cold.

Might be sleeping in separate rooms tonight. It always HAS to be something. I absolutely abhor this holiday. All the nice stuff I did gets overshadowed. And all the things I do the other 364 days per year don't seem to count for crap when I make one mistake.

Lol, similar over here. DH is in Saudi, has been since January and will be until late March. We did a valentines day digital high five and chattered a bunch with skype though. Then I had soup and a candy bar, and read what you guys were up to

I grilled a couple of steaks (the store was out of scallops) made awesome collard greens, and we have been watching a movie and drinking wine. An awesome night in my book!

Well....
DH had another heart arrhythmia event while shoveling so off to the hospital we went. Dropped DS off at DH's aunt's house. Oh, and DS has been home for the past 3-4 days with the flu so you know he's been a bundle of joy. Tonight I made dinner and dessert, put DS to bed, will watch a little TV with DH and unwind solo with some video games.

The baby is asleep.
Now, I'm going to finish posting an ad for my cloth diapers, looking to get back about 50-70% of their purchase price.
Then, I'm going to look over some invoices that I have to review. I haven't wanted to, but I can't put if off any longer.
I will probably work late into the night so I can feel for family time.
Husband is downstairs, watching some streaming.

I worked hard, and missed my grandpa all day long. Today would have been his birthday.

Super. Got my new car! DF totally foxed me out as I got blotto at dinner and forgot all about everything. Walked out where we had dinner to a new car with a huge bow on it and yelled, "holy shit!" Classy, huh? Should not drink and drive! But I did!

If he were alive today, he'd be 126, and still working in his garden, and going fishing. He fished on every warm day except Sunday.

Me and my sweetie went to McDonalds for dinner. He got his favorite, a chicken nuggets happy meal with chocolate milk (only $1.99 all of Feb), and then we went home and snuggled on the couch with popcorn watching the Olympics until his 8:00 bedtime. After that I swiped a couple chocolates out of his daycare goody bag.

I made one of those easy box dinners (General Tso chicken) and we watched a few shows. We don't do anything out of the ordinary for Valentines Day since our anniversary is next week. We usually just go out for the anniversary.

We've been kind of celebrating it all week. DH was bringing home things like chocolate covered strawberries, cup cakes, champagne... stuff like that. Last night we had dinner out and tonight I made one of his favorite dinners. We also watched a movie. I think that's better than being with a germy person who's barfing or slinging snot but still not as good as a new car!

We closed on a new house in the morning, went to breakfast, bought a pile of crap at Lowe's, then spent the rest of the day moving boxes/unpacking and ripping up the carpet in the master bedroom. We ate pizza on the floor of the loft because we have no furniture until next week.

We saw tower of power. Really good show but we were the youngest there by about twenty years

I brought my wife home a Dr Pepper that I took from the free stash at work and then I threw a frozen pizza in the oven. We fell asleep on the couch watching the Matrix about 8pm.

We've had a couple of crazy weeks- just more stuff on the schedule than we're used to. We're just happy to have gotten through it. Yesterday, though, I gave DS a valentine and his present- 5 rolls of Necco wafers. Well, he LIKES Necco wafers and they sell them at an exorbitant price at a candy store near my office. I told him not to get me any candy- I've got a blood test as part of the company wellness program next week and my glucose level was 102 last time. Ideally it should be under 100, so102 is nothing serious. but I've sworn off candy for the last 2 weeks. Why pay full price when he can get it now on sale?
Last night we went to an extraordinary concert of the Venice Baroque Orchestra with a countertenor named Philippe Jaroussky. He sang a lot of pieces written for castrati and had an amazingly agile voice. There aren't many countertenors around, so it was well worth it. I'd also forgotten how rich and full a real orchestra sounds in person. I love my iPod, but it's just not the same sound.

Also- "Blackfish" is amazing! Blackfish was very thought provoking. The whole concept made me feel sad and hopeless, though, since I don't see people being willing to give up their entertainment. And as long as people are willing to pay to go see it, there's little hope that the exploitation of animals will stop. My kids think I'm mean by not taking them to Sea World or the circus (elephant treatment and issues are very similar to the issues with Orcas), especially since it seems everybody else goes.
Sorry about the hijack. Back to OP.
We had the traditional Milee Family Valentine's Day celebration. Ever since the kids were born, we decided to make Valentine's a family thing (we don't like to go out to a restaurant on that day and used to have romantic meals at home, but not really easily done with kids.) It's generally something like steaks or fondue. There's also Champagne for the adults and sparking grape juice for the kids. Fun excuse to prepare and eat a fancy meal together and use the nice china. It isn't at all romantic, but we have a good time.

Very hard to tell which one.
I've been posting and reading the boards for almost 10 years now and don't know when WWBG joined, but in all that time, I haven't seen him post a single nice thing about his wife. Not one. And the complaints, insults, pot shots and barely repressed passive/aggressive anger is constant.
So either she is truly horrible and he's a masochist or he is truly horrible and she's a masochist or they're both truly horrible and totally deserve each other.

We both were to each other, I guess. It was one of those silly fights that should have been avoided. Its fine now. As you've posited before, probably just a manufactured crisis to ensure there were no "expectations".

I want to hear about laterbloomer's couples massage. How did that go? It was great. We were in different rooms at the same time. The spa is in an old house that has been beautifully maintained so even just waiting together having coffee and chocolates was kinda fun, almost like being at a fancy hotel tea room or something. He got me earrings and roses and we went for a sushi lunch. A very nice day.

Sex isn't a chore and if it is, you really aren't doing it right

I am always apprehensive about appropriate pre and post massage cuisine. I made the mistake of having a full breakfast with omelettes french toast, bacon, and sausage shortly before a full body massage at a resort. BAD idea. Other places keep it light; lemonade, some fruits. Wise...
Afterwards I'd want to stay relaxed. I love to eat though. Two conflicting desires.
