Not even a freaking cake from the kids or a card of some sort. Can you tell that that irks me. Hard to lose the expectations on my part.
Much less our anniversary/valentines day.
Well, that is kind of rude or at least just thoughtless. I guess expect nothing and then you'll be surprised if she does do anything? I've been surprised my H did do a Christmas gift from the kids and I think a little birthday gift he might have done too. It's the polite thing to do, and I do that also of course, so set up a good role model for him.
OK, I bought a cologne ($24 but it was on sale for $17 I found out when they rung it up), and it was H's favorite cologne although who knows anymore. And the kids made their cards and bought a chocolate truffle cake with choc. truffles on it--looked really good and he didn't send home the rest with the kids, and the kids said it was good, so it must have been. Ok, the weird thing is H sends home an empty box with D9. A Polo gift set with cologne, aftershave, and deodorant. Yeah, I priced it online and was $65 so obviously from the OW--guy friends and work friends aren't going to spend that kind of $$ I don't think. (A thought I had was I wonder if she gives all her husbands and boyfriends that--not a cologne he ever wore or liked before) and you know she's had the 3 husbands already. Almost like he wanted to show off his great gift from OW or something. It bothered me a tiny bit, but not anywhere near as much as it would have a year or even 6 months ago. Thought it was tacky & rude and a little weird for him to do that. Oh, well. Gift box will be getting thrown out when I do my cleaning later today.
New Years--woohoo I get the kids! H didn't ask or bring it up like the other holidays so he and OW are prob. going to a party. But I'd rather be with the kids, we're going to go today to get hats and noisemakers (you know I love the kids to do that) and we're going to make cookies, probably choc. chip or something from scratch and D9 wants to use an ice cream scooper to form the perfect cookie--we saw that on Martha Stewart show yesterday. I think she's scary, but she does have cute little ideas sometimes. I'm hoping they can stay up until midnight--D9 wants to watch the ball drop and everything. Hope everyone else is having a good day too! Karen
