For Valentine's Day...
...I celebrated by giving my kids in my class Valentine cards and cookies and giving my mother a night out to a resturaunt of her choice (since Dad is still in New Orleans).
I didn't do anything else for Valentine's. Quite honestly, it is NOT my favorite holiday of the year. That probably sounds terrible, but there are logical reasons.
A. I'm single. My valentines are of the "I care about you nature. (And FYI, I care about you guys that actually take the time to come read here, and I was remiss this year in not letting you know that).
B. Valentine's is highly commercialized to fit those who are "couples" or "in love" or some such scenario. That's not me. Dont' get me wrong, I'd LOVE to be in Love...but I don't see it happening in the near future, if ever at all. I don't necessarily always feel all that loveable.
C. Everyone always wants to know what you are "going to do on Valentine's day". Geez, peoople. I don't do anything on ANY day hardly. I've got no friends here in Florida. So of course I really don't want to talk about what I'm NOT doing on V-day. Because, of course, I'm not doing anything.
D. Valentine's seems to be a way to remind me that, "hey, you'd really LIKE to be doing something or in love, but you aren't.
I try to get past all of this stuff really, and I guess I'm not good at it. I also suppose I'm feeling kinda down because, with work and school I rarely have time for anything else. And, on top of that, I don't always feel that Mom understands that I have to put my school work first at times she thinks I should be putting "housework" or "cleaning" first. I love helping her out, and I really feel that hey, since I'm living here without rent, I should do that. But then there are times that I know I better get done what I have due for the week, or my grades are going down.
::shrugs:: I also miss talking to you guys on line...alot. Which I think I mentioned in the last post, so you'd better believe it. I hope you don't think I'm ignoring you, and man would I like to spend more time chatting. Sometimes it's just easier of you give me a buzz first...
...but then, I know some of you have tried, I've gotten your IMs after you've come and gone from AIM. And thanks for checking in on me, it's the few of you that makes Valentine's day mean anything at all to me (other than my kids in my classroom, of course, who need all the love they can get to face the trials that lay ahead).
So anyway, this is my V-day rant/thoughts. Thanks for tuning in.
