Ok girls..would this tick you off?

Of course I didn't complain to him...I was over and beyond myself telling him it was OK!

I know he went out of his way to get gifts...gosh..they were even in color coordinated gift bags! I was impressed!

And he got the bases covered...chocolate, music, disney, Starbucks!

I was just sending out the "I need good vibes from my sisters" thread!

SC...he's still a good guy! I love him dearly and trust me...I was appologizing more than he was this morning. BUT...I still expect some sort of makeup present for this!

Exactly, Baileykat.

I treat the Hubster like I do the kids. Well, when it comes to his feelings. He is a big kid. My nickname for him is 'Peter Pan'. {amongst others I can't post...} I would never want to crush him.

BUT I do know it is nice to get validation that our feelings count, too.

Does anyone remember the episodes of I Love Lucy where she'd trick Ricky into thinking it was her birthday so many times that she forgot it herself? Well, not to sound manipulative or anything, but you could do that. I mean, say, "Thanks for the gift honey." And then the next day, remind him that it's your birthday. Then when he says he's already given you a gift, say you thought that was a simple "I love you" type thing.

Interestingly enough, I think I'd be the person to forget what day is someone's birthday. I have a habit of staunchly reminding myself days before the event, and then when it actually comes, I totally forget.

I agree with Claire and Mousewife BUT I think you should be treated to a nice dinner TONIGHT and TOMORROW NIGHT

I agree with this. Pre-Birthday Dinner and a True Birthday Dinner.

I think your husband was really embarassed and tried to supress that by arguing about things. If I were him, I'd bring you flowers tonight. Before dinner out.

Maybe he was just being all poopy because he wanted to throw off the scent of something BIGGER he's doing tomorrow

. I agree with everyone! Work it to your advantage, celebrate it as long as you can, give a teeny break that he at least didn't forget your brithday, just got the date wrong. Maybe he thought it was Thursday and not Wed. I do that all the time.

But LIVE IT UP GIRL!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY (tomorrow) AND HAVE A LATTE ON HIM!!
