Part of the reason I’m over it is because after many years as a stay at home mom, I started waitressing. Valentines = $ for the past three years.
I’m at a new place now and am the newest hire; figured that I wouldn’t get to work that night. I was so grateful when the owner gave me the choice of whether I wanted to work that night or not. Yes!
February is tournament time in wrestling; when all the kids were young and I was home alone with them from the moment they woke up until they went to bed I craved a date night with my husband and Valentines was just one more thing that we couldn’t do because of wrestling. And I miss those days of having nothing to do but care for my sweet kiddos. I now have obligations outside the home seven days a week. Snow day cancellations have been a huge blessing this winter!
I thought you would find this story interesting.
