So I thanked my honey for the flowers he sent me today (he didn't). It threw him off. He emailed me back and said, "Really? Not from me, ya got someone on the side ;) ?" So I played cat and mouse with him about it all day back and forth, just played the game with him, egging him on. He said at one point, "Well you definitely deserve them but they weren't from me"----so my retort to that was, "Stop kidding around, I know you sent them, especially if you think I deserve them, I know you aren't the type of guy who would think I deserve them and not send them yourself, so I know you sent them".
Phew. Poor thing. I was really hanging him out on the line. I finally at the end of the day let him in on the silliness and told him, "In my mind they are so beautiful...." and you know, when we are at home and doing doing doing and feel no appreciation, no motivation to even cook dinner after our long days....doncha think a girl should be shown some love and gratitude? We do so much and they take so much of what we do for granted....the homework, the laundry (and you know how much I LOVE laundry..., the floors, picking up toys, dishes, cooking, bathrooms, keeping up at work (this is no easy feat in addition to all else), and getting on the floor playing with the boys...I mean, right now I'm just exhausted thinking of it all. And as I look to my immediate left and see a huge huge hamper piled high high with dirty clothes that have been sitting there for two days, I wonder to myself, does it ever end? Yes, boys and girls, flowers ARE a girls best friend, ok, maybe diamonds are but lets be real, flowers are SO much more affordable and the net effect is the same; reach out and show your baby you care. Make her smile. I don't care if they die.
OMG he has it on that Justin Timberlake concert again. He's gonna GET it even if he really DIDN'T send me those dang flowers! ;-)

girl...have you been reading my mind? enough said :) tracy
sigh. big fat sigh.
I played that game once. Dom turned it around that he wasnt good enough for me because he didnt send me flowers and he was a loser blah blah blah. I spent the day trying to make him feel better and he missed the point of it all. Instead of saying "yes honey cakes you are worth it and I should" so it turned out good for you I am glad but it was a dangerous game for me I played it years ago and never again. I dont get flowers, cards or gifts. Nope. His excuses are a mile long what can I do? But he's a good man and he takes care of me and the boys so what can I do?
