My Valentine Wish for Myself

Sometimes I feel tired of all the fun, exciting stuff I'm suppose to do for b-days and holidays. It requires time, energy, creativity, money & more time, energy, creativity and money.  I do enjoy memories, holidays, and celebrating. Just when other people plan them. Or if I could do it every other year.
I even feel sympathetic to husbands too. There is a lot of pressure on them to get wife's b-days, anniversaries, Christmas, & Valentine's right.  They are also suppose to be good all year in between those events by helping out with kids, housework, monthy home teaching, plus have a great career. (They are also required to put up with our variety of emotions, moods, and lots of talking, in my case, all year long.)
All of these events keep coming year after year. I get through one and then there is another one the next week or even day.  I'm feeling anti-Valentine's this year. Do I have to plan one more thing? For the record I love my husband, kids, extended family & friends. Very appreciative of all of you.
This year I would like to go to an island on Saturday by myself. Just for the night.
I would have a comfortable, soft, fluffy bed in a room with a beautiful window overlooking the wide blue ocean, sunset, and listen to sounds of waves crashing peacefully.
I would eat these:

&  I would have a Hugh Grant Movie Marathon
(The pictures took forever to download, I gave up.)
The movies titles are
"Notting Hill"
"Two weeks Notice"
"About a Boy"
"Music & Lyrics"
(Hugh Grant's characters makes funny romantic comedies, he makes me laugh. Laughing always energizes me)
I still would like to enjoy Valentine's Day this year, but just doing the things I would like.
No one else would sit through 4 Hugh Grant movies, that's why I would go by myself.
I believe if I could have Sat. to myself I could:
Make Green eggs n ham, Hide Easter Eggs, Buy Chris an amazing ski package for his b-day, Bake cupcakes for Sadie's 1st, and plan a fun summer for 4 children.

Could I please come with you? I promise not to make any noise or disturb you in any way. If I sat down to watch a movie, I promise I'd be asleep in 5 minutes. I would thoroughly enjoy the sun and sand!

hahaha, I agree with you. I've been stressed all day about what to do for Weston and what he's going to get me. So I'm getting my hair cut and highlighted on V day. It's as close to an island retreat as I could get.
