let's see if my husband realizes it's my birthday

i know he knows what day my birthday is, i'm just not entirely sure he knows what day or date it is anymore.

no special plans today, just work and then probably a grilled cheese for dinner. my dad and sister both have birthdays in the next nine days, so we're going to do super epic combined family dinner fun time next thursday.

32 sure doesn't feel all that different than 31, here's to hoping for another mellow year

...I hope someone gives him a hint. I'm horrible at remembering dates and it's gotten worse the past few years. I'd feel like crap if I forgot my husband's bday, but I've come damned close a few times.

i'm hoping he'll notice the date on his paperwork at work and realize it's today. if not, it's not a huge large deal, i'm past the point where birthdays are a big deal. but i will give him a helluva ribbing

he has a tenuous relationship with time. i'm pretty sure he still doesn't know when our anniversary is

Mine was Cinco de Mayo and was sadly sick.

Hope you have a Mellow Year! I am wishing the same thing as well.

Sucks...

Still got to play with the niece and nephew though, with a neighbor's Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix.

I'm terrible with dates as well, but Facebook has done a damned good job of remembering important dates for me.

And I guess I'm not up to speed on what's happening with your husband? Is it just regular husbandly forgetfullness of special events, or does he have some kind of special problem??

Regardless, I hope you have a lovely celebration with family when you get together!!
