So I said I was going to post this like two days ago, but life has been interfering. As usual.
Anyway, I spent my Mother's Day doing what any self-respecting, under-appreciated, all around everyday mom probably did. I cleaned my house. I did get flowers and cards from the kids. But these were things that were forced on them by school and Sunday school teachers. Which are great, and I appreciate them immensely. But not even a "Happy Mother's Day" from the Hubby? No "Thank you for taking care of our children for the past six (almost 7) years" or "I appreciate the fact that you always--ALWAYS--get up in the middle of the night when someone cries just because you know that I have to get up earlier than you do"? WTH? I contemplated striking. But instead I pointed out how everyone else had stepped up to the plate enough that he got pissed and stopped talking to me. All the same I suppose.
Monday, however, he did apoligize and say "Happy Mother's Day" a day late and all that. I politely thanked him. And knew the exact reason why he mended fences. Well two reasons actually.
Reason #1-- We are doing some remodeling work this weekend. We are ripping plaster out in our computer room. I can't even begin to tell you how happy this makes me. I have wanted to do this for the better part of the three years that we have lived in this house. So, he is sucking up because he doesn't want to get stuck doing all the work himself.
Reason #2-- Tomorrow is our sixth anniversary (the CANDY anniversary. Anyone want to guess whether he takes that little factoid or not?). He knows I've had something in the works for quite a while. And he knows part of the plan thanks to The Superhero AKA Blabber McBlabberson. But he doesn't know to what extent I've been scheming. There is highly tasty food in the future, so he's making up for the good of his tastebuds.
So that's my plan for the weekend. A romantic anniversary spent with my hubby and a couple of sledgehammers. Hmmm. . .perhaps that could be reason # 3-- Self Preservation.

I've decided to disable my tag board. I just can't take the Spam anymore. It's annoying as hell and so I decided to take it down. So if you've got something to say, just leave me a comment.
7 Got something to say?.
