A night out makes all the difference

Last week I went to work two days out of five. Needless to say, I was quite depressed. I stayed home on Valentine's Day and ruined my husband's chance to show off b y sending me flowers at work; they were delivered at home because I was sick. That beautiful arrangement did brighten my mood and raise my spirits.

The next day, I didn't go to work AGAIN because I was so tired and achy even though I had slept all day the day before, but when my husband came home from work he got me out of bed and told me he was taking me out. OUT. I didn't even Want to get out of bed, forget about bathing and getting ready! He looked so excited so I peeled myself out of bed and got ready not knowing what to expect.

I quickly realized my wonderful husband planned a fabulous night out- even getting a sitter for the entire evening! We went to a fancy restaurant, then a movie, and when I thought the night was over, he took me to a suite filled with roses and champagne! It was something out of a movie-so romantic!

That night, I felt normal; not like the pathetic sick person. I didn't even realize how much I needed to feel like a normal women. I didn't even talk about a single ache or pain or doctor appointment. It was beyond wonderful!
