Mike and I have a serious problem keeping anything from each other. This is the reason we normally do shopping for holidays the day of or the day before. Otherwise, we’ll give the gift way before we should.

At our last Christmas party Mike surprised me with a new-to-me Kayak. I was thrilled. It was the first time he’d EVER really surprised me and not spilled the beans before hand. It was really cool.

I was determined to do the same for him this Valentine’s Day.

I went on Ebay and found a great deal on a package of things for his new MP3 player: FM Transmitter, car charger, home charger, 2 skins, 2 arm bands and some other stuff all for $19 dollars! It was a steal. That and I knew he wanted to be able to charge it without a computer. So, I ordered it and yesterday it came.

When I got the mail I told Nathan that Daddy’s present came. I knew he would tell Mike that it came and then I’d get to tell him “nanna nanna nanna you can’t have it!” Just like he did with me before the Christmas party.

Nathan did as expected and Mike looks at me and says “Please can I have it? I really need something to charge my MP3 Player.”

Furious, I get the package and say “since you already know what it is…just take it!”

Well, he did know what it was but didn’t know all the other cool things I had gotten too. He felt pretty rotten about the whole thing. I would have too if I were in his shoes and I didn’t mean to make him feel that way but I was pretty ticked. Now, I’d have to go out and get something else for him.

Mike made me promise I wouldn’t get anything else saying all he really wanted was some much needed “us” time alone. That only made me cry more. By the time we get Nathan to bed and the household stuff livable…we go to sleep too. Not much us time happening. I guess we’ve both just been feeling that way, not just me. It’s nice to know that.
