Valentine's Day

Today is V-Day

Single Awareness

Cupids Stupid

Lovers Day

Binge yourself on Chocolate                                            

and Strawberries Day.

Whatever you want to call it. 

I am here getting ready to make dinner.

On tonights menue

Heart Shaped Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Chicken Noodle Soup

and Heart Shaped Cherry 

Giggly Jello shapes. 

I have spent most of the day

being depressed

B/c J is in Wyoming working

instead of fullfilling my 

Romantic Comedyish

Valentine's Dreams

I realized a few hrs ago 

that I needed to stop being depressed

and start being Grateful.

J works sooo hard. 

He is 4 miles under ground 

in below freezing temperatures

Getting slung with Coal Mud and coal Dust

If he were doing what he wanted today

 he would be here. With us. 

Helping me make dinner

Spoiling our kids with Valentines Kisses and hugs

But instead he tied up his work boots

and went to work. 

He doesn't do it for anyone but

Me and my kids. 

He works so hard. 12 hrs a day 4 days a week

To bring home a pay check. So I dont have to work.

So I can be home to raise ouir children

and So we can have everything that we need And want.

I need to remember that. When I get mad that he doesnt

take a day off for Valentine's Day

To "Remind" ourselves of what the holiday is for.,

Love. We already know.

Its the reason why we do what we do.

Out of Love. 

 

So here's to your Valentines day.

May the sun rise and set with Love 

May your life be filled with everthing you need

May you get your secret Valentine's wish.

And remember what is right in front of you. 

I have friends. I have Kids.I have a roof over my head

and food in mine and my kids' bellies

Happy Valentines day.
