A Hard Week for the Hubby

As if it's not enough that our anniversary is February 13th.  The day before Valentine's Day.  Mike knows I have big expectations for that weekend.  The good thing is he'll never forget.

But he gets hit with another double whammy the first week of May every year.  My birthday is May 3rd.  His mom's birthday is May 7th.  Mother's Day usually falls just a few days after that, for which he has to come up with more ideas for me AND his mom.  So in one week he has to do something special for each of us twice.  Poor guy.  That's why I'm fine with flowers for Mothers Day.  But you know, I think instead of something tangible, what I would really love is the day off.  That's pretty hard to do with the kids so little, but it sure would be wonderful to get out of bath and bedtime duty for the night.  And the cooking is a given.  So we'll see what the weekend will hold.  Probably nothing too out of the ordinary.  He did surprise me with a big family dinner on my birthday.  More about that later....
