Not really piecing and trying not to jinx it, but

Nothing really new to report with H and I, it's just been on my mind that 5 years ago tomorrow (actually today because it's just after midnight here now!) my H moved out. He informed me a few days prior to that (on my birthday, TYVM) he was moving and he left for good (physically at least because he was mentally gone for a while by then) on my very first mother's day.

The funny thing is that this week he actually forgot my birthday. I'm not a big birthday person anyway and hate any focus on myself like that. I know he knows when my birthday is. He's always (except for one year and it was on purpose and spiteful and I called him on it and he apologized) remembered it every other year we've been separated and had a card from S for me. I know he's been busy at work I figured he didn't know what the date was. We had even talked that day, but I didn't say anything about it.

Wed. morn. he was driving to work and heard the date on the radio and called me apologizing up and down and swearing that he'll make it up to me. it really doesn't bother me at all. My birthday and him have all this baggage now that it was kind of better it passed quietly. He proposed to me on my 25th birthday and told me he was leaving me and our 10 month old baby on my 32nd birthday. Like I said, baggage there.

He told me tonight he has "prizes" planned for Mother's Day. To make up for this week... (I admit I was thinking that forgetting my birthday was least of the things he has to make up for... LOL).
