Jrex and I aren't big on Valentine's Day. I've always thought that if you are in a relationship, it shouldn't be necessary, and if you aren't in one, then it's just a big, annoying reminder. Valentine's evening, I hung out with two friends who are single, one is a guy in his 30's the other a woman in her latter 40's. She told me her son picked her up from work and took her to a movie. When he picked her up he gave her a flower and said, "Happy Single Awareness Day, Mom!"
Single Awareness Day, that's one I'll remember...we've never been big on the holiday either, but at my kids school, they have parties, we have to send in a card for everyone, gifts for teachers, snacks, all the stuff that makes the everyday grind feel like a little bit of torture. We got it done and after all that they had a snow day on Valentines, my cute kids reminded Daddy, and they brought me some flowers and a balloon at work, from them of course, it was sweet.
