Success after IF

Today sucked...

Today is my 33rd birthday and it sucked. I told DH all I wanted was a night out...but ge waited until Thursday to ask the nanny8f she ccould watch DS. She had plans. So then he asked hus sister whi lives 30 minutes away if we could drop baby off...only restaurant is 45 minutes in the opposite direction. So 2.5 hours of driving for a damn meal. But wait...it gets better. He didn't make reservations. So we can't get in at the restaurant. So we end up at a crappy, cheap tex mex restaurant. Then ssomehow we get skipped over. It takes over an hour to be seated...an hour llater still no food. We finally left. So happy birthday to me. Itbis 8:40 @ night and all I have eaten are greasy tortilla chips. Im feeling so loved right now.

    I'm sorry things turned out that way. I say since it's your 33rd bday, you get all 3 things mentioned above... 1. a girls night out. 2. a expensive gift. & 3. a redo!


    Happy Birthday!
    All of this! I feel your pain - my bday is Saturday; it's almost always quiet as its summer and no one is ever around etc. all I want is a night to plow through copious amounts of wine - probably won't happen since I am the food source for a four month old. Sigh.

  • I'm sorry there was zero thought put into planning on his part. Happy 3-3 though!

    As an aside, DH sometimes complains because my b-day is 3 weeks before his so he feels like his plans for my b-day set the precedence for his b-day. I had no idea making reservations could be such a demanding task.
