Just need to vent, because I can't vent to my hubby. I know I shouldn't be disappointed... it was with good intentions, but I just can't help being so upset with what my DH got me. I should be grateful, because most holidays, if you can even call today that, I don't get anything.
He got me sessions at a spa.
I really hate spas. They creep me out.
We had a conversation about it just three days prior when an ad for the place he got me the gift for came on the radio.
He spent 300 dollars on a 2 hour pampering (which I can't use until after the baby is born in June) and 5 prenatal massages.
I really don't like other people touching me. It's part of my OCD thing. I hate it when people other than my immediate family hug me, I hate people touching my pregnant belly, I can't even have different foods on my dinner plate touch.
Maybe its my pregnant hormones, but I'm just so upset! He's asked me if I like the present and I just don't have the heart to tell him "No, I don't like it. I won't ever use it. What a waste of money. You should have listened to what I was telling you that I wanted, needed, what we picked out really... and gone with that instead of something we just talked about and said that I didn't like." I told him, "Well, it isn't what I thought it would be, since its in a little bag," and kind of laughed it off.
What a really wanted??? A treadmill. Yes, you read that right! My doc even recommended that it would be a good idea, and will keep me from being on bed rest for a little while longer. It's so cold out here that I can't get outside for walks, and I need to get exercise. I have a pinched nerve in my hip, and sometimes lose circulation to the area and need to keep it loose. I also have a three year old at home, so getting to the gym is pretty much impossible. I also have previa. We looked at them at the store. He was with me at the appointment. He ignored me, really, even after me telling him that I wouldn't ever want to go to a spa, for reasons listed above, etc. and he still got it for me. And he didn't get it before we talked about it in the car... he got it friday after work because I checked the online banking.
Ugh. I just don't know what to do. That three hundred dollars would have been 90% of the cost of the treadmill we picked out at the store. I could see if the spa will give me a refund, but I highly doubt it since one part of it was a valentines special. ANd returning it will just make me feel more terrible about not being grateful for it.
Oh, and to make things worse... I got him something that he really wanted, had been talking about for months, and searched around the internet for a week to find the best price on it. I got it for half price! I got him a digital range finder for hunting. I guess I accidentally left the page open on the computer upstairs (which he never uses, btw) he saw it, and then he teased me about it, saying that he knew what I was getting him, and why did I get the 1000m, instead of the 1500m?!?!?
Grr! Men! Thanks for letting me vent. I don't know who else to vent to other than my DIS friends. Today should be a spend time together day, which we rarely ever get because DH is very busy doing Army stuff most of the time, and I just feel like being off by myself and crying. Ugh. Stupid Hallmark Holiday.

I call it 40 week long PMS!
on the visiting comment- specifically because you are pregnant! So there was some "visiting" going on.
