Well I had my phone off at work today, turned out Dan had called twice and texted me "Happy Birthday". Shortly after I turned it back on he called me. He knew I had to work and offered to go get the kids for me at day care and meet me back at the house.
I asked if he had the day off and he said, "Technically, no...but I left work and am headed to town anyway." So I said fine.
He came with the kids and they had a big gift bag for me and a card. So he must have picked them up to sign the card I assume.
He got me a tree!?! He knows I just did all that landscaping and he had suggested a tree in the corner of the yard where one died right as we were moving in. I said I was going to order one with my landscaping, then I didn't. So, he did. He gave me the tag that id'd the tree and a stake/flag. I am supposed to flag where I want them to put the tree and they will come and do it for me.
The card was a religious one about how God made the sun and we knew light, etc etc until it said God made mothers and we know love. Then it said thanks for being an example of God's love to your kids or something to that effect. He and the kids all signed it.
So hey at least I got a gift and a card from the kids. I figured I would not be getting anything from them and I was ok with that, so it was a bonus.
I wanted to say, if you want to give me a present just level with me and tell me why you backed out on our talk. But I didn't say anything...just thanked him for the gift.
