Another Valentines Day over with....and my rant...

I've never really been a HUGE Valentine celebrator. Even more so now that the hubby works out of town and is gone for this "holiday". That in my opinion is highly over-rated. But whatevs. I got the kids a card and we went out to lunch. I got leftover candy and hugs. Best day ever :)

 Why do we need a certain day set aside to buy flowers, candy and a card? You know what I love about my love with my husband? We do those kinds of things (minus the flowers...cause I'm horrible at keeping them alive and to me its a HUGE waste of money for something that will just die) through out the year. We have our date nights, movie nights in, lunch dates, he cleans the house, he cooks dinner, takes the kids to school and piano just to give me a break when he's home. Yup, best husband ever. Hes been there through some of my pretty rough moments over the years as I dealt with some health issues and hair loss, and he never once skipped a beat in loving me and taking great care of me. To me that's deserving of Valentines all year long. Not just during an overly commercialized day.
According to the news 19 Billion dollars was spent for this "holiday" and that's actually gross to me. You are all SUCKERS! and not the good heart shaped ones either :)

I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
