My Dave, My Valentine





Valentines Day...how I have loathed thee....a day to get fatter eating things I shouldn't...when my kids bring home candies that will sit in a drawer until next year because once the little "KISS ME" and "HUG'" hearts get old they are good for nothing other than rewarding a dog when they pee in the right place.  The kids get all hopped up, I get miffed, its a bad thing.  A day where some people have no one and its really sad...a day where you sometimes secretly wish that your husband was as gushy as the TV husband who bleeds romance.  I worked the entire weekend and on the 14th, how romantic I was thinking. . I was mostly over Valentines Day until.......


I was walking out to my car the night of the 13th.  It was a crappy day (yes I say the C-word).  Just awful, anything that went wrong at work did.  It was my first night as a charge, we had a disgruntled resource nurse, grouchy patients, I was orienting a poor new nurse and I was certain she would want to quit by the end of the day.  I ended up staying two hours late to fill out an incident report. Just a bad day! To make matters worse when I finally got to leave work.....I can't find my car.  


So I was a mess, thinking some one had stolen my car...then I remembered I had a panic button so I pushed it.   Turns out I was standing in from of my car...it just was so clean I didn't recognize it.  I remembered I had told Dave if I was going to get anything for Valentine's Day I would just like my car cleaned since it had layers of salt on it.  On my steering wheel was a single rose,  I got in the car and cried.

Silly?  Yes.  It meant a lot to me.  Then I get home.  My day was bad, my teeth hurt, I have a headache, my feet are killing me.  I took NyQuil insistent on sleeping well.  Dave tells me I should take a bath.   I walk into the bathroom and it is covered in Rose petals, a little rose petal path to the tub, petals on the tub, in the tub around the tub.....ahhhhhhh it was beautiful and I could not believe it!






So I am sitting there thinking this was the best and I couldn't ask for more.  Between the hot bath and NyQuil I slept well.  I got up the next morning and went to the kitchen to get coffee and see a big beautiful bunch of roses in the kitchen.  Came home from work for a date to Olive Garden.  Dinner and a lovely red Zinfandel........what a Dave! Everyone needs one.  


I love this man, this Dave.  I feel like I am the first thing he thinks of, he makes me feel important, beautiful and fully loved.  I love him more all of the time and I am so happy he is my Valentine.....I was thinking how do I repay him with manly non-girly romance......an  iPAD   he almost cried it was so romantic  HA HA HA
