A little disappointed

I made sure my hubby knew that we had a bit of extra money because his check was double what we planned for. I was hoping we would do something special or that he would get me something tiny like a fake flower or something. It was just like every other day. I should back track a bit. His birthday is at the end of this month. Since we didn't have money he said he wanted a joint Valentine's/Birthday gift. That gift was something in World of Warcraft that I had to work really hard to get for him but I did it because I wanted to get him something he really wanted. He was really happy so I was glad. Back to my point. I sent him to the store to get some cat and dog food, kind of hoping he would pick up candy or wine or something for me. He came home with the cat and dog food and beer. I had cleaned the house, did dishes, taken out the trash. He never said thank you. I don't always need to hear that and I know I sound like a B**** but it's Valentine's Day. I wanted something, anything. He cooked dinner, which is normal because I'm an awful cook. It was a simple shake and bake with corn. I thanked him for it. It took me saying Happy Valentine's Day to him for him to even really remember it was that day. It marks us being married for 4 1/2 years exactly. He isn't going to be home for our 5 year anniversary because he'll be in Basic training. He's also going to miss my birthday because of AIT. I just wanted something special, even a little 'thank you' for cleaning up the mess he refuses to acknowledge. I'm sorry. I know I sound selfish but I just want some reciprocation of the appreciation. So, tomorrow I'm going to go get myself something to cheer me up. I can't go up to Bald Rock because the road is closed so no picture taking. Maybe I'll just go get some stupid yarn and knit my emotions away. Heck I'll go do that now since he's watching his tv show that I really can't get into though I've tried. I swear I'm putting out the effort to spend as much time together. I just feel like he doesn't even care. I just get lectured about being careful with money, though I'm the one in charge of all of the finances. Gah, I'm just making myself feel worse. Anyway. Happy Valentine's Day to the few of you that read this.
