Best Valentine's Present Ever? Or slap in the face that says "We're over!"
Let me explain.
If Daddy-007 tried to explain to me 10 years ago that his Valentine's "gift" for me was 48 hours of alone time, I would've wept and wondered why he was punishing me by saying he needed to get away from me.
Today, 48 hours of solitude is the most priceless gift he could give me! The self-sacrifice involved in taking all three of the boys away for two nights, the knowledge that I need this time to regroup, think, catch up on things and write, the thoughtfulness to offer it and mean it.... Priceless.
Of course, my first reaction when he offered me this gift was: What do you want? ...Oh my God, what did you DO?! lol ;^)
Oh wow! Heck I would be happy if my hubs would just offer to get up with the baby during the night, maybe even sleep in the other room, just so I can have one night of sleep... lol... you are a lucky one!
ReplyDeleteThat man is fabulous! You really should keep him.
ReplyDeleteBetter keep him around for a while! I would LOVE to have 48 hours ALL to myself!!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I'm 31 and my S.O. is going to a basketball game tomorrow night, and I'm lalalalala-ing by myself at my house. Heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Option A. Tho a trip to Paris would be a close second.
ReplyDeleteUnderstanding your partner's needs is vital in a relationship.
ReplyDeleteYou needed it, he gave it to you.
Why does everything I say today sound dirty?!
Enjoy every second of it!
ReplyDeletethis almost beats laser hair removal. Almost.

that's is so thoughtful of him .. unbelievable :)
ReplyDeleteWhy do we always think the worst when they really are just trying to be nice???
ReplyDeleteAren't I, though?s And he did NOT get up with the babies when we had them, so this was long overdue, right?s ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I intend to.
ReplyDeleteSo far, I have accomplished just north of nothing.s How do you like the new comment system?!?!s I've been meaning to do this forever and I finally had the time to fiddle with it!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the best thing is to just stay home and catch up on the DVR.s :)s I love those nights!
ReplyDeleteALright, you got me on the Paris trip.s That would be pretty freakin' awesome.
ReplyDeleteI shall. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL.s You got me there.s That seems like more of a birthday request. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGuilty as charged.s History, I suppose.... ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's why I love him so!
ReplyDeleteLet's trade places for 48 hours. That's all i need.

ReplyDeleteSorry, lady, you're going to have to pull out your bullhorn and make it happen at your house.s :)
ReplyDeleteLucky girl...and I do love the intelligent and profitable way you're using your time...by Skyping me ha!!!!!
ReplyDeletebtw I like your new comment system...it's neat....
ReplyDeleteAhhh.....alone.s Though I would prefer to be alone in a spa.s Or alone on a beach.s Or maybe just alone in the loo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly thoughtful gift! Iam impressed. Even with my kids grown I am not alone enough, so the hubs motorcycle rides solve that problem. I wave goodbyeshappily & pop my fav music in & enjoy!
ReplyDelete007 is da' bomb! Enjoy your 48 hours curled up in your fortress of solitude! Happy Heart Day!!!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see about the comment thing. Do you think it's too busy?
ReplyDeleteAaaah, the days of going to bathroom uninterrupted.s Those were the days.... and I didn't even take the time to appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how some alone time can be so reinvigorating.s I NEED it.s Glad you get some, too!s :-D
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's to you!s And when I get my snuggie, then and only then, will he truly be da' bomb.s ;)

Ohhh ... your comments section changed. Lovely!!! I have lots of solitude. I'm kind of a loner by nature though, I can hardly stand a bunch of noise or rowdy situations for too long.s However, I can certainly appreciate the need for it. Enjoy yourself, you're one lucky girl!!!
ReplyDeleteNo i love it....keep it up. They only have to register once, and
ReplyDeletethat's it...and i really like the dialog style of it...you go girl
