Well, my birthday has come and gone. I know that when you get older your birthday becomes less of a big deal, etc. etc., but it seems that each year my birthday just gets more and more depressing. Not because I'm getting older, but because my husband just sucks.
This year, despite putting it on the calendar, setting an alert on his phone and verbally reminding him the night before, he managed to forget my birthday. Not only did he forget my birthday, he went out of his way to make it suck. He took my car, leaving me stuck at home with 3 kids for the day. I had to make my own birthday cake. I had to cook my own birthday dinner and it wasn't until I told him (again) that it was my birthday that he realized what I was saying and then hastily ran to the store to pick up a sale bouquet of 4th of July flowers.
He was grumpy ALL night from bringing a co-worker in that had broken his leg and apparently wasn't thankful enough for the ride. I didn't do all of the housework like I normally do, hoping that the kids or him might pitch in and run a load of dishes or something HAHAHAHAHA, that didn't happen, so I was behind on housework all weekend. No, I wasn't being subtle about it either - I told him that's what I was hoping to happen. He ignored it. I flat out asked him to do the dishes and he just pretended like he didn't hear me, then asked when dinner would be done and went outside, leaving me with the baby and both of the kids while I was trying to cook.
He justified being a jerk by saying I didn't want anything for my birthday and that I didn't want to do anything for my birthday. Actually, I've been telling him I wanted to go to the lake or the drive-in for my birthday. He didn't want to go to the lake, so naturally that didn't happen (he kept finding excuses - it's too hot, it's too late and will be crowded, it's this, it's that) and we couldn't go to the drive-in because it was going to "probably be sold-out already" and besides, I hadn't made anything to bring for dinner. Maybe on Sunday night, he said.
Today is Sunday and he's off in another state buying a lawnmower that he doesn't need. His mom is helping him pick it up, so that means I get to entertain my mother-in-law when they get here. Wonderful! Looks like we won't be doing anything fun today either. Then, his car will be in the shop tomorrow, so I will be without mine again while he's at work, over an hour away.
I know there are people with bigger problems in the world than me and I know I only post when my husband is being a real idiot, but just once I'd like to have a nice birthday. Or a nice weekend. Anything other than the unfortunate series of events we've been experiencing lately.
