So I turned the big 30 today. I really didn't want any big party or fireworks or gifts, just a quiet weekend with DH and DS would have been nice enough. But no it just didn't end up that way. Dh insisted on wanting to get me a gift, I told him it makes so sense since a we're on a budget, we have baby #2 on the way come March, not to mention the holidays, and most importantly there's nothing I really need at a time like this. So he tells me let's get my present. we head over to Best Buy because he wants to buy me a digital camera that I can keep in my bag...great gesture and I did want one...but like I said not necessary and I really wasn't one for having it RIGHT NOW if you know what I mean. By the time we go looking around, it's late and I'm too tired to go to a resturant much less watch DS have some meltdown while we're there. So we go get quick groceries and DH tells me he wants to make me birthday brownies....but guess who ends up making them.

Today, he gets in the mood to buy mini blinds...yes we need them but I really am in no mood to do such a thing. But like I said I'm not one to complain and I said fine just that I don't want to spend all day doing this. We left the house at noon and we get home at 6pm, went to Target, Kohls, Sears, Home Depot, and Walmart....of course we come back with nothing. I knew the first three stores would have nothing...well I did expect Target to have them but they didn't. But DH insisted on not going to Home Depot or Walmart...pure torture. So DS missed his nap, I'm exhausted...to freakin' exhausted to even make dinner or go out for it either. I just want to be left alone at this point. Like DH means well and I don't mind running errands with him...but I really just wanted to take it easy and relax or do something less annoying.

Like I said not one to complain but really I'm just beat. Not to mention how DH minorly gotten on my nerves a lot this weekend. I can't tell if it's the pregnancy and my birthday and all that combined but seriously, sometimes guys don't get it. Like why do you talk to me from the first floor as I'm going upstairs to blow dry my hair and expect me to hear you and then bitch at me for ignoring you. I mean geez.

Anywho, thanks for letting me vent...I needed this. Thank you...now I'm going to fall asleep on the couch until Desperate Housewives or hunger strikes...which ever comes first.

You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too, yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you


You're a little younger than I am, but probably still old enough to remember the White Album, LOL.

And yes, it really IS my birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! :)

Happy Birthday!!!!! :)

Vent away!

It was sweet of him to try and do some of those things (bak brownies, camera...) but I'll agree that execution was a bit lacking.

I found that I have to be extremely direct about what I want and don't want for my birthday if I want to get it. My dh just doesn't seem to take hints very well. It also doesn't help that he doesn't make a big deal at all about his b-days so he forgets that I want more of a fuss for me. :)

I hope the day turns out well with what is left! Congrats on the big 3-0!!

Happy Birthday to you (and Cindy!)

I'm sorry your birthday was less than thrilling. Moms should get weekends away from the government on their birthday as part of some random perk. Forget universal health care, just let me be alone for a day or so and I bet I'd feel waaaaay better and not even need health care! ;)
