Queen for a Day?

While this year's Mother's Day wasn't nearly as bad as last year's, I certainly don't feel all that special. J. kept me up half the night and has been cranky as hell all day. To make things worse, *I* am cranky as hell too from a combination of stress, lack of sleep, and the fact that my child is cranky. Oh, and he puked all over me earlier today. Good times!

My husband got me a subscription to US Weekly, which was very thoughtful because I am into celeb gossip. He is also cooking dinner for both of our moms, my dad, and his grandmother tonight, which is very considerate of him. That said, there was no royal treatment today. No breakfast in bed, no "hey, why don't you sleep in while I take care of J.," etc. I just don't think he gets it. Last year, I didn't even get a gift so we are making progress, but it appears that this is going to be something that I have to teach him over time.

It's a good thing that I have gotten used to pampering myself...I treated myself this week to a massage and a mini-shopping spree at Sephora. I also got a new Coach bag, which I love, love, love. Still, I wish hubby would get that if he did things like that for me, I probably wouldn't spend half of what I do on myself because the need would be getting met.

Men.
