DUMBEST HOLIDAY EVER

Have I mentioned I hate Valentine's Day?  People get irritated with the commercialization of Christmas, which I admit, is pretty awful but Valentine's Day is RIDICULOUS.

I am blessed with a hubby that brings me flowers for no reason and leaves a card out for me on a random Tuesday, maybe that is why I don't need a day where we are expected  express our undying love for each other.

While we don't celebrate the holiday, I do make Valentine's with the boys so they can share them with their friends but this year we are doing cards and fruit, we are not going to contribute to anyone else's candy stash!

A friend shared this quote with me and yes it's long but man, it is DEAD ON!
 
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine
