Kids Changed My Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day Schedule: Pre-kids

9:30 AM:

Wake up, lie in bed, scroll through Instagram to appreciate other people’s devotion to their loved ones and the color red.

10:00 AM:

Enjoy impromptu morning sex.

10:09 AM:

Get washed up. Spend the next hour walking around in a towel.

11:00 AM:

Prepare a nice breakfast for the wife.

11:30 AM:

Enjoy a lovely outdoor breakfast. Flower bouquet on the kitchen island, a handwritten love note, French pressed coffee.

12:30-7:00 PM:

Spend the day doing what we want and how we want, because we have no one to worry about, but our damn-selves.

7:30 PM:

Pre-dinner shower with the wife. Enjoy silly banter in a steam-filled bathroom, listening to a 90’s RnB playlist. Not sure what’s more responsible for the steam – the water or the music.

9:00 PM – LATE:

Partake in a series of “fun” things that people without kids do when they have no reason to be up the next morning.
