You're probably right - I was too generous with the grade. I'm trying to cut him a little slack because of his situation this week but I'm finding it really hard.
It's pretty sad when your co-workers and friends do a better job of acknowledging your birthday! I received 2 cards at work, several e-mails, and lots of Happy Birthdays on FB as well. I'm really disappointed that he didn't do a better job with my sons - making sure that they at least bought me a card.
Well we'll see how he responds to the no contact this weekend. He has to know that he didn't do a very good job. If not, this should surely get the message across!
Glad you had a great birthday. I still can't get over the coincidence of us having the same birthday!
