Remember how annoying it was....

before you got engaged- people would ask non stop, so when are you taking the plunge?

Or once you're married, when are you gonna have a kid?

Well...I've had a few birthday calls today and every single one of them asks 'So he's taking you out to dinner for your birthday right?' or when I tell them I'm just going to his volleyball game tonight they ask 'So he's not taking you out for your birthday?'

DH has a problem. I have to TELL him these things. I have to TELL him what I want for my birthday. As far as I know we are NOT going out to dinner tonight- or tomorrow for that matter. He hasn't said anything. And I'm not about to suggest it because I want it to come from HIM!

I'm sure most of you know what I mean. At least I hope you do so that I'm not alone in having a clueless Joe for a hubby. Man people are making me feel cruddy now!!!

Thanks for listening to me vent!

well ladies...I'm bad. I jumped the gun. Then again, the question that I couldn't answer - 'So Brett isn't taking you out to dinner?' was what was REALLY bothering me. I felt like a jerk for not being able to answer it!

So tonight- we're at volleyball- which was fun as always. We have a couple beers afterwards with some friends. I thank DH for the beer and he laughs and says 'We'll go to Thatcher McGhee's (local watering hole) tomorrow'.

Yup, that's me! Always expecting the worst! And of course he was just planning to take me out tomorrow.

Thanks again for being there for me when I whine!

Yay, have fun tomorrow night

Don't worry Tara. My husband is the same way. Meanwhile my sister's bf takes her on dinner cruises around NYC for her birthday (imagine competing with that). It is getting slightly better with time and requires less prompting.
