Just want to vent.

Alicea • Wife, mom, badass. Baby boy #3 on his way!

FFS people are judgmental. Let me clarify: I was not expecting some big expensive gift, or any gift at all for that matter. I wasn’t even thinking about flowers until he brought it up. I had a very hard day and night, and wanted to talk to my husband on the phone before I went to sleep. Since he stayed out late with coworkers he didn’t call and all the other little, insignificant stuff added up to make me feel bad. My priorities are fine. I’m sure those casting judgement have NEVER been irrationally upset about ANYTHING, especially when pregnant and under a lot of stress.

—————

Today was me and my husbands first Valentines Day married. Normally I don’t care much about Valentine’s Day, and don’t get the fuss. I’m also currently almost 9 weeks pregnant and very hormonal.

My husband is out of town on business. He was going to have roses delivered for me today (so he said) but he didn’t order them in time. I made a nice Valentine’s Day post on Facebook for him, and he liked it but didn’t comment or make one for me. All day my female friends are posting the things their SOs did for them and all I got was a “happy Valentine’s Day” text this morning.

Then he went to dinner with coworkers and stayed out late. Texted me to say goodnight and that’s it.

Meanwhile I’m home with two kids who refused to listen all night, completely hormonal and emotional, my freaking cat barfed 4 times, and I had McDonalds for dinner alone. I know I’m being somewhat irrational, but I’m just sad that he doesn’t seem to care. Maybe it’s my fault for not making a big deal about Valentine’s Day on other years (though he did something every other year). He’s normally very sweet and thoughtful, but I feel extremely unappreciated today.

Anyway, I know there’s not much that can be said, I guess I just needed to get it off my chest. Hope all you ladies had a nice Valentine’s Day!
