Feeling tearful today

Dh is away at the moment so missing him. Knowing it's Valentine's day doesn't help. Didn't receive a card let alone a present or a rose. . I gave him a card, hid it in his going away bag.
Have spent most of the day clearing up dds bedrooms with no thanks from themm, I know they are only 6 and 4 but still. They just seem to be following behind me getting everything out again. I have spent all day telling them off which doesn't make me feel good.
I'm tired - the rest of the house is a tip.

I must stop reading all these Valentine threads. They aren't helping matters. Think I might pop open a bottle of wine in a bit. Not the same on your own though is it?

I found out that a friend of mine died today as well. Not a close friend but someone I got on really well with everytime I saw her.
She was the girlfriend of one of dh's work colleagues. I always chatted with her at dh's xmas work do's and we always had a laugh together. We kept saying that we would get together for a cuppa but never did.
Apparently she collapsed at home yesterday afternoon - completely out of the blue.

Oh Sparkler, poor you. Comfort yourslef with the thought that your dh will come home soon (how many days is it?) and that when he does, you will be able to have a lovely cuddle with him.

My dh is away a lot and I know that when he comes home always feels really nice. Funnily enough, when he is here, I seem to take him for granted. Absense makes the heart grow fonder, eh?

And sorry to hear about your firend. What a dreadful shock.

You just never know do you? Makes me feel bad for shouting at dds even more. When I heard the sad news this morning I told myself that I was going to make a determined effort to have a lovely day with dds. Didn't last long.

Awww sweetie, sorry you're feeling like this, and sorry to hear about your friend. I'm at work tomorrow but am around Thursday if you feel like getting out somewhere with the girls.

Have had a few glasses of wine. Kids are still up though. I have been letting them stay up longer as it's half term. TBH I quite like their company while dh is away.

Yes we had a nice chat earlier. I'm not normally too bothered about Valentines day - usually think it's a rip off. Today it seems to mean quite a lot.

I'm sure I've been through no more than most. Yes I chatted with dh and told him - not much he can do from where he is. My sister called me earlier too and could hear in my voice that I wasn't right.
She is coming round for tea tomorrow night.

I think so thanks. Very tired. Just eating and finishing off my wine then I'm going to curl up in bed with dds. Need some sleep.
How are you anyway BT?
