[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 492646, member: 3444"] husband is KING of PROCRASTINATION. The week before Xmas I booked airline tix to Mardi Gras and told husband that would be our combined Xmas gift (even though I'd already bought some small items for him, and I'd bought myself a pair of cute chicken pj pants and gave them to husband back in October to wrap and give to me for Xmas (I really wanted these and knew if I didn't grab them, they'd be sold out)). True to form, husband never went shopping for me, even before I told him about the tix. And at 3am Christmas Day he woke me up making so much noise rummaging around our room for tape and paper to wrap the pj pants that were sitting on the floor of our room in a Target bag for months. But that wasn't the worst part. The WORST part was that out of what I'm only assuming can be guilt, husband gathered up a bunch of random items from our room and bathroom, wrapped some, left others bare, and tossed them into my stocking. Imagine my confusion and surprise when he hands me the stocking later that morning, encouraging me to open the REST of my "gifts" from him! And he had the gall later to tell me he was annoyed that I didn't act more surprised for him!!! I asked, What? So you can look good to the kids? Sorry, pal! Why should I put on a show to save YOUR face? I was really annoyed that he didn't even take time to take the kids out to choose something small for me. Next year, I'm not even going to bother handing him a here-you-can-wrap-this for me item. He can dig his own hole from now on. [/QUOTE]
