I hate Valentine's Day!
I went out grocery shopping today and was put in a foul mood. I was reminded that Valentine's Day is coming soon. I have seen glimpses of this disgustingly, horrific holiday trying to pop it's ugly little head up since the day after Christmas. Today however, the store displays were up in full force all over the darn store. Yuck!
Why do I hate this holiday? Because I am selfish! I don't have a Valentine so this holiday reeks!
I hate going to work and seeing all of the lovely flower or balloon arrangements coming in left and right to my ever so happily married colleagues. (Just rubbing my face in their happiness... )
I hate watching the tv shows and commercials that are Valentine's Day related. The cute little couples kissing and having a great time being together. PUHLEASE!
All this holiday does for me is remind me of how painfully single I really am. I hated this holiday when I was in a relationship too. I never got anything for Valentine's Day then either. Oh, actually I think I did. I believe that I was asked something like this "So what do I need to get you for Valentine's Day?" Stupid ex-boyfriend!
In all fairness, I must say that I can count on some people to remember me for Valentine's Day. I can always count on Mom to get me some beautiful tulips. I can always count on Mom to help Sabina get something for me and for Sabi to make me a nice card. I can count on my students to all give me a Valentine and for some to even give me a little box of chocolates or a teddy bear. I am grateful for that...
So why am I complaining? I guess because I am grumpy, it is my blog and I can! I need to vent. I hate feeling like I am so inadequate because I don't have a Valentine. I hate feeling like I even have to have one.
I would love to call in sick on February 14th and stay home in bed and not have to deal with this miserable day.
I won't of course. I will host a fabulous Valentine's Day party. I will make sure that all of the little kids who can't buy their own cards will have cards to pass out. I will make sure that my daughter feels especially loved and spoiled on Valentine's Day. Heck - I will probably even wear read and smile at all of my colleagues who wish me a Happy Valentine's Day. I will even gush over their lovely flower and balloon arrangements.
You can't make me like it though...
I hate Valentine's Day!

OMG I feel the SAME WAY about SVD! Stupid holiday! Bad enough to be single from Thanksgiving thru Xmas...then to accentuate it thru the middle of Feb! I couldn't agree more!
I can understand what you are going through. I can’t say that I hate Valentine’s Day but I don’t hate it as much as I do Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. When my family gets together and all my cousins and siblings are with there wives and husbands, I am the only one that has no one else. Because I do not want to be part of it I go and play with the kids well now I have become the babysitter “Because Sotic like kids.” In the last couple of years I have taken a different approach to it, it’s my own fault that I am single. I should celebrate that someone else is happy and their happiness is mine. Like you the bitterness is dip inside and I will not show it to any one else.
PTC and Sotic: Glad that I am not alone here.
Sotic: You are a better person that I am.
:-)
I know - I need to quit having a pity party! I am just not quite there yet. I want to be grumpy for a little while longer. Thanks for your sweet words everyone!

Hi, Nice blog and post. I hate SVD also, altohough i am not single. But anyway i think its a stupid holiday! Poeple should show their love every day, and every day should be like SVD if you really love someone...
