Just Another Day

I have a bad feeling that tomorrow is going to be just another day.
For the past couple of weeks, I have printed out pages of what I wanted for our anniversary, right down to the cake. Will I get any of it? I doubt it, and right now, I’m ok with that. I really am. Last year was a disaster and getting nothing for the anniversary this year will actually be a huge improvement over last year.
After all, there’s nothing special about remembering the day, 19 years ago, when my husband and I both decided to say “I love you” to each other without running the day by each other first.
In fact, right now? He’s out with his friends. Where he’s been since about 2pm today.
Yep. It’s just another day. A Friday. The day before Halloween. Nothing special

19 years ago – you got married when you where 10?
My husband doesn’t do anniversaries or valentines – I think he hates anything where something is expected from him. I used to get upset but then I realized how ridiculous it was, I mean – how good are these guys to us all year around? I had to change my way of thinking because I knew if I didn’t then I would get hurt every single year because some men are just clueless.
We met 19 years ago. I think of it as a mile stone in my life. Not a lot of people still associate with others they met nearly two decades ago, who aren’t in their family, particularly people they met as kids.
Other than that, today is the 5 year anniversary of our daughter’s conception, the five year anniversary of the day we said we loved each other, and tomorrow is our sons’ second birthday. You’d think he’d be more aware of relationship milestones then playing with his friends.
