Valentines Day is crazytown no matter how you look at it.
You are either the cliché who says Valentines Day is for suckers or you’re out there buying candy hearts made out of chalkdust. It’s lose-lose.
I used to be a v-day hater, but I’ve recently switched teams because the other cliché gets me chocolate and presents. Also, I’m trying to be less of a hater these days. You know, for the kids.
Look, we all know the whole thing is a giant conspiracy made up by women to get flowers and presents and a night out. Who cares? We wash your underwear and fold your socks and spend two hours in the kitchen only for you to say “I’m just used to my mom’s lasagna.”
Boys, I know you’re confused. Just listen to your instincts. Chances are we’ve already gone all Inception on you and planted the right idea somewhere in your brain. It went something like “Janie’s husband surprised her last year by taking her dancing.” If you heard a sentence like that, it means DO THAT FOR ME.
Good luck.
PS: I love you, ABizzle. Happy V Day.

hee hee. i love those stupid chalk-dust hearts. they are dustalicious.
So gross. I like you anyways.
And this is why I read your blog.
Yes! Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day.
I love how much you love Liz Lemon. Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day!
Nerds!
As long as you don’t confuse it with the feeling that gets girl pregnant. BAHA. Seriously. I did not incept that into your mind, guy.
I love what you said about it being cliche either way. You are totally right. I am always up on my high horse about how dumb this holiday is–but that’s just as cliche. Bah! You rock my world, Motley Mama.
Happy Valentines Day.
I totally incepted an idea for Valentines Day.
A few weeks ago I told my husband this story about my sister in law and how she was so happy and surprised to find a beautiful note written by her husband for her birthday last year. I woke up this morning to find a note.
I mean, it’s better than being pissed about getting nothing…right?
Brilliant.
Found this blog a few months ago via another blog and wanted to let you know that I love it. Faithful reader! xo
Oh you do have a way with words. One day, I woke up and read my twitter TL on a sunday and saw my friends husband got him up, his daughter up, got them bathed, dressed, and made them breakfast all while letting the momma (my friend) sleep in. WELL, boy did that SET ME OFF for the day. WHY DIDNT MY HUSBAND DO THAT? I was pissed at him for the first few hours of the morning. Bahahahaha. Boys. I mean, women. We are all so confusing.
I showered and dressed myself in a pink sweater today…not because I am going anywhere on Valentine’s Day (my breast pump broke long ago and baby goes to bed at like 6)…but because I am a sucker for V-day.
All this to say, I am glad you switched teams and if I were a blog teacher I would give this post a A freakin plus. I loved it.
Thanks, Candis. I am a sucker for getting A’s (teacher’s pet).
So now i’m curious- what did Austin do for you??
I wore Valentine socks this moning and ate some chocolate…that’s about it!
We didn’t do much, but he still remembered–that’s what counts. I gave him a “you’re in med school, so just relax” pass. Dinner & a homemade card. I found my own chocolate.
Brad and I did zilch. Nada. I did make heart-shaped mouse finger puppets with the kids. Does that count?
What a fun mom.
