Will you cook or hire a sitter for Valentine’s?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Are you cooking up romance on Valentine’s Day? Right now, I’m torn. My husband, Rich, has been called to Washington, DC for meetings. He is hoping to get back by dinner, but it’s going to be close.
I kind of don’t want to go through a lot of elaborate preparation only to (as Winnie the Pooh might say) “un-celebrate” if he’s not there. But I know my kids still want me to make a fuss about it. A casual dinner out is still an option. That way, if it’s just the kids and me it will still be special, but less work.
What are you doing? Does Valentine’s Day mean romance in your house? I got a kick out of this: I just read that more pregnancy test kits are sold approximately 6 weeks after Valentine’s Day than at any other time of the year! So I guess someone’s feeling the love.
I need help figuring out what to do. Let me know what you are planning. Do you get a sitter and ditch the kids or go out en masse? What is your favorite special occasion meal to make at home? Now that I’m writing this, I’m beginning to think of some ideas, maybe a taco night by candlelight. Or fondue…
What do you think?
