Mother's Day

He got me gifts! Yeah I chewed him out for not getting me anything for Valentine’s Day so he kinda had to get me something. I just want him to make me feel special. Not getting me anything on special occasions, in my eyes, lets me know I’m not worth spending money or effort on. And it doesn’t have to be a lot. Just something he put effort into picking out or doing. I’m a very sentimental person so “it’s the thought that counts” goes a long way with me. I was just getting tired of getting absolutely nothing on holidays. He does good on Christmas. But the others I’m lucky if we go out to eat. He wants to know what he can do to make things better. This is one of them.

So on to what he got me. I got flowers delivered to me on Wednesday with a card that said something about not always listening but I do mean the world to him, from JR and Dad. They are beautiful tulips. I love tulips! For a few years my mom had every color imaginable growing in front of our house so that’s a good memory I have to go along with tulips. Then yesterday something else arrived! Shari’s Berries which are very good chocolate covered strawberries from CJ and Dad. This card said something about thanks for the great milk. If there’s one thing my husband has it’s a sense of humor. I really love them. He did a good job!

Along those lines, I’m not someone that needs to get expensive or extraordinary gifts. Simple things make me happy. As long as he put effort into picking it out or doing it I would love it. Now it sounds like I didn’t like my gift, but that’s not the case. I just want everyone to know I’m not some material person. I just want him to think about what I enjoy doing and make it special or get me something that goes along with it. Flowers and chocolates can be expensive and not a whole lot of thought needs to be put into that. If he really tried to make an effort when getting me a gift it would be one way to let me know he is serious about our relationship. To tell you the truth, the cards that came along with the gifts meant way more to me than the actual gift. It took effort to think of what he wanted them to say. I’m not a shallow person that can just have gifts thrown at her to make her happy.

Do I sound like an ungrateful person? Sorry, but I want him to show me that he is really serious.
