I thought I made myself painfully clear to my husband after we had a huge blowup fight a couple months ago after he completely ignored both Valentine's Day AND our Anniversary. I thought I made it clear to him that I at least want him to do SOMETHING to show that he acknowledges days like that.

No, I didn't ask for a specific gift. No, I didn't want him to spend a lot of money.

But he did ABOSOLUTELY NOTHING for Mother's Day. No card. No flowers. No dinner. No breakfast in bed. NOTHING!!!

In his defense, yes he worked all day today (9-6). But on his way home, he called and asked ME what was for dinner and if he should pick up anything to go WITH it!!!!

And don't tell me he didn't know it was Mother's Day. He works in a friggin grocery store, there are signs EVERYWHERE.

I would have been ecstatically happy if he just got me a card, or even just a little homemade card that he let my daughter color on. Seriously, just something as small as that would have been enough. Just a simple token that he cared enough to do that.

Nope. We had pizza for dinner. And I got nothing else.



On a lighter note, I did have a great Mother's Day with my daughter. I guess I gave myself a gift - or maybe she did know it was a special day, because she was really good today. I took her to the park, played on the swings, took her on a nature walk with the dog and we saw bald eagles and pelicans and everything. It was a perfect day. Then I took her to McD's for lunch so she could play on the playplace. She had so much fun. She even gave me a big hug, and we did puzzles together and read stories together. THAT part of my day was amazing. Just the part after my husband got home from work that was....not so amazing.
