V-day is for Valentines not Vagina
“Mommy what is vagina meaning?”
That’s the private part of your bottom. Nobody touches it except you. Where did you hear that word?
“On the music in my room.”
*** Mental note: Remove 107.7 from her pre-set radio stations. ****
It’s the day of Love! It’s the day of chocolate and roses! Of which I got none!
It’s not a big deal, really. We usually boycot V-day. But this year, feeling the joy of giving, I got Mr. Flinger one of those tiny boxes of chocolates. His reply? “Do I have to take it to work with me?”
Uh,whu?
So far this morning, I’ve done pretty thankless jobs. I’ve done things like let people in line, bow to others whims (can we say three year old drama queen?) and planned things for other people to feel loved and special.
In return, I’ve not had a single “thank you” or “I love you”. So yes, take the farking chocolates with you.
And you’re welcome.
What’s your V-day story?

Ah, what a thankless job we have, huh?
It’s a non-holiday for us, too. But we use it as an excuse to order in a nice dinner.
If I get anything it is usually something for the bedroom (Which pretty much equates to all the gifts really being for my husband.)
Way may go out to dinner, who knows?
I was told about my gigantic bottom by my 6 year old. I just had to blog it.
~sighs~
Thank you! We Love You!
We usually boycott V-Day, too. This year, however, hubby bought his very first dozen roses! He surprised me with them last night. He then made me promise not to get him anything.
Of course, he’ll be in class until 10pm tonight.
Would it help if I remind you how much I love you?
My Valentine’s Day story is here (I’m the slouch in my relationship…):

Holding a flu-ridden three year all day because when I don’t he screams. While I hold him he only whimpers.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
Well, he did better than my Hubby. All he had to say to me today was, “We said we weren’t getting each other anything, right?”
RIGHT.
Happy VD…er, Valentine’s Day.
My hubbie has been out of town in a remote place this week where cell phones don’t work, so all I got was a phone message (no return number to call) during that one hour I was out of the house. Nice.
One time when I was in junior high, my dad was out of town for my birthday. He had a swimming pool installed to make up for it (didn’t have to do that).
My husband is out of town for VDay and did something similar (didn’t have to do that). But I LOVE the new MacBook. I was a PC person until now.
The best part of my day, though, was spending time with my almost two year old this morning, letting her color Valentine’s cards for her friends at the nursery. I bought a bunch of heart shaped paper plates and let her scribble all over them with markers, then I wrote “Happy Valentine’s Day 2008 from Peanut”. She was squealing with delight, and it was fabulously sweet.
We love you. And Thank you. For being you.
This year for Valentine’s Day (which is also our ten year anniversary), my husband gave me the flu.
I had 3 Valentine’s Twix for breakfast… I have been kicked repeatedly in the ribs, and cervix. (By this baby, of course!)
I’ve dealt with approximately 2 dozen toddler meltdowns today, and survived.
Oh, and I’ve peed about 750 times today… um… that’s it so far!
I got two (not one, TWO) gifts from Internets in the mail today.
Photoshop CS3 also arrived.
It is a good day.
Well, I did get chocolates this morning, which I had to put in the fridge :( so as not to attract roaches(we haven’t had any for weeks!), ants or four-year olds. Not necessarily in that order.
Today I have been cleaning and mopping (which I hate). Oh, and trying to get my son to take a nap. I promised him one of those chocolates if -and only if- he sleeps. Good luck to me.
Hopefully this message will come through in one peice as my daughter is helpi0ng with0 the0mo0use.0 00000000000000 and as you can see, the 0s.
Hope your day gets better, friend!
Ha, I used that word (and vulva) with Declan from the get go. Mainly because it amused me to hear a three year old say “wa-gine-a.”
Let’s dig deeper…What IS vagina meaning?
V-Day here has consisted of a sick toddler, which has CONSUMED the ENTIRE day. Poor healthy baby is being ignored. Can’t wait for a BIG glass of wine tonight and some drugs to take effect. And by drugs I mean cough medicine for Dylan. No thank you or I love you’s here, either. Just lots of nose wiping and whining.
I actually had a dozen fragrant, red roses AND a box of candy delivered to my office with the most romantic note.
I’m not sure what they did with my husband, but whoever the aliens are who replaced him are getting a big kiss—with tongue.
I celebrated V-day by driving into seattle (again) to go to the UW and see my new doctor. While there I had to give blood and they couldn’t find a vein to save their souls. I was SUPPOSED to go to B’R'U, but that just didn’t happen with traffic and what not.
Well… My husband left me a ceramic thing in front of my computer (he leaves for work before I get up in the morning.) It’s big. It has butterflies on it (which is I think why he got it for me.) It is also the TACKIEST thing I’ve ever seen. But, of course, I’ll have to keep it forever and ever. But so tacky.
ohmygod, y’all. I love you, too. Big sappy make-out love. And also? Your stories are oodles worse than mine (or oodles better) and I love you for that, too.
But the ceramic? Wow.
We got a new (king-sized!) bed delivered today. The 4yo was so excited and bouncing off the walls that the delivery guys were a bit stunned (and no, I *don’t* feed him straight sugar, thanks for asking). So that was our V-day excitement. And now the 21mo is sleeping in the new bed so hubby and I can’t even attempt to properly break it in. If I were horny. But with the watermelon belly? Not so much. Poor hubby.
our V-day was abox of choclates, several tanrums from sugar overlead and a trip to the Er for the baby because of her RSV/bronchilitis.. Happy flipping V-day. F*ck Hallmark.
Our anniversary is tomorrow (16th), so we don’t celebrate V-Day. Oh sure, we tell the kids Happy Valentine’s Day, and maybe they get an extra snack or something, but we otherwise pretty much ignore it.
I shared VD with Lotus
Mmm-hubby ended up sleeping on the couch. How’s that for a V-day story.

You can have 1/2 of the Valentines I received from my 6 y/o one of which stated romantically, “I love you but you steenk”. So there you have it.
I got homemade cards from my girls and a bear in a t-shirt from Mark. My vagina was not involved in any of it.
