Typical

So, how was your Valentine's Day? Mine wasn't so great.

I ran home from work to finish getting my stampin' stuff ready for tonight, and then was supposed to head over to the in-law's for a family Valentine's dinner (nice and romantic, I know). Well, Jer calls and asks me to stop and pick up a new prescription for him because he's having a gout attack. OK. So, I run to the drug store. They have one of those drive-through's you know, so I pull up into the line. I sat there for 40 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was a car behind me and a car in front of me and there is no where to go unless you want to go all off-roading and stuff in the grass. So, I sat there fuming. By the time I got to his mom's, everyone was finished eating (including my clueless husband who had no idea why I was so upset). He says, "you can just heat your steak up in the microwave." Jackass.

So, I didn't talk to him for much of the night and spent my time over there playing with the babies. (Oh, and this dinner including cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma the whole bit, EXCEPT for his sister and her husband who left Jenna there and went out to eat at a really nice place where they had reservations!) WTF??

So, anyhow, I get ready to leave with the baby because my grandma asked me to stop over because she had a little gift for Madeline. So, we did.

When we got home, Jerry was in the hot tub. It took me a minute to catch on that he had left a trail of his clothing throughout the house and up the stairs.... This was a bit weird because Maddy was wide awake and needed pj's and a bottle. So, I look around all confused and go upstairs to find my Valentine's Day gift - this lingerie that I had told him I liked when we were out shopping a few weeks ago. Very sweet, except that I'm still pissed off at him, I'm trying to put Maddy to bed and he's outside in the hot tub! Whatever. I put the baby to bed and head outside. I thank him for my gift, and tell him that I was really annoyed at his mom's house. He apologized. And I sat back and enjoyed the hot tub, because I was so tense and mad and my back was killing me.

He got out of the hot tub and went upstairs. I stayed in for a while longer. I put on my lingerie, climbed into bed and fell asleep. It was kinda funny really, but I truly don't think Jerry was very happy. Oh well. I guess the question is why should Valentine's Day really be any different than any other day?

Oh, and what did I get him, you may want to know... I put together a basket with a bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne, some new boxers, a few of his favorite candy bars and a big candle that I knew he would like. When I got home and he was in the hot tub, he was also scarfing down his candy bars!
