Well, I got DH a pretty dang good birthday gift--two cases of chile-lime Corn Nuts. He totally loved it, haha.

20 yrs. of Marriage this week went by and not even a Happy Anniversary...I'm used to not getting anything for Valentines Day, Mother's Day, Birthday's and Christmas so after 20 yrs WHAT should be so different...I don't even have a wedding ring! I'm so jealous of friends whose husbands take them out to dinner and movie dates or buy them ipads and kindles for Mother's Day--What the hell--I bleach out your shit stained underwear do something for ME!

My husband had a shit fit when I went to my cousin's baby's first birthday party last week. He thought it was silly to spend $$ and drive 30 minutes to celebrate a kids birthday when we barely even know the baby(even though my entire family was going and I love my cousin dearly). Today, he fowarded me an e-mail from one of the guys he works with. His kid is having her first birthday and dh wants me to go. He didn't go with me to my cousins and he will be out of town for this party. I have only met these people twice and it is an hour and a half away. So NOT going...

For my 40th birthday, I bought myself my first car and got my G license after going through all of the graduated licensing program in Ontario. I am proud of myself!

I'm not telling my family what to do or what to get me for my birthday. I am not being a martyr. I plan everything and take care of everyone 365 days a year. I wonder if they can figure out what to do or if I'll wake up to blank stares.

I purposefully ignore mothers day and fathers day but call/text on my mom's birthday/dad's birthday. They'll be honored for their birthday, but I won't honor them for their parenting.

Dear mom, Happy Mother's Day. No, I'm not dropping everything to placate you. Also, you forgot my husband's birthday yet again - can't remember that his birthday is always Mother's Day weekend. If you were a great mother, things would probably be different.

I had my husband's phone tonight (long story as to why) and I hit his email button and found my birthday present (which is today) . Two plane tickets to Chicago. What did I do to deserve this? I don't even know. I'm beyond lucky.

I totally spaced on DH's birthday this year. I would've forgotten it entirely if he hadn't mentioned it the other night. I feel like such a dork! I haven't thought of what to get him and he hasn't given me any ideas. I think I'm just going to ask him point blank what he wants. That's what he does to me every year--he asks me what I want and buys it for me.

I am having a gathering at my house tomorrow. It's a low key birthday party. You'd think the president was coming. I get SO focused on having my house just right. I think next time I am seriously going to just hire someone to clean so I quit worrying. I am like this at every get together at my house-I wish I weren't.
