Yesterday was my birthday, yeah just another day. Don't get me wrong I am grateful I am here to see another day, but I usually don't like to make a big deal out of it, well than again maybe deep down it is a special day and maybe I expected to much. I got this really nice card that my youngest son made up for me and I got all choke up about it, because it was so sweet! We were going to go out to dinner and I had decided on the buffet at the Fandango, but I did expect at least a card from my husband, but did I get a card NO! I mean I wasn't asking for much and yes I didn't ask him to get me a card, but I shouldn't have to ask right? No card, no flowers, not even a box of chocolate. Did I say anything, no not at first. So we go out to dinner and it was pretty pricey and the food was good but not great at least not for the price and it really wasn't worth to pay that much when my son hardly ate anything. It was seafood night and I love seafood and so does my daughter. Well she ate to much shrimp and didn't really go get any of the entree meals, my son ate a salad and a piece of pizza and that was about all. I went up to the seafood counter and they really didn't have that much choice. I had some prawns and they were really good and than I decided to try the sword fish because I have never had it before. Well it was too fishy for me and here is a person who loves fish! Lets put it this way it was very gamey tasting. It was venice of fish! We decided we aren't going to buffets anymore unless it is just my husband and I because for the price it isn't worth it when the kids don't eat that much.
After word we stopped off at the store and that is when my husband bought a card, but my daughter is the one that had pick it out, so that really doesn't count at all. Okay maybe I am making to big a deal out of this or maybe it is the fact that I really can't believe he didn't get me a card at the very least, because usually he does. So needless to say I am a little bit hurt by this. All I got to say wait until April when it's your birthday and there is some tool you want well guess what don't expect it because I expected a card and didn't even get it! Okay I will stop whining now thanks for listening!!

hahaha! this was really well-written. i could so hear the voice behind it. i remember reading an article in a dr's waiting room once. a woman had written in about how here hubby was a horrible gift-giver. she was saying how she even dropped hints, etc. and he still didn't get it. the psychologist from the column wrote back and basically said, some men are not good gift-givers. and Yes. they need you to spell things out for them. they don't see things as gifts or cards as high priority items as a way of showing their love. they have other ways of showing their love.
even though i understood the article, at the time i was married to the world's WORST gift-giver. (On my birthday, his idea of a "gift" was being intimate!) anyway - even though i understood the article, it didn't make me feel better. after all - it's my birthday. i do something special for his - i expect at least a little effort in return.
wow - now you've got me all fired up. I think I'm gonna have to blog about this! tee hee.
LOL thanks Emma but I am going to have to eat my words that is my next blog!!!
Happy Birthday!!!
