Months ago, while waiting at the deli counter, Dh notices jello salad in the refrigerator case. Goes on and on about how is aunt used to make it for the holidays, and how it was always his favorite and he really misses it. Dh is diabetic, and picks it up to look at the sugar content. It was something crazy, like 30+ grams a serving. He puts it back listfully, and says how he can justify cheating with that much sugar.

Well, today while at the super market by my work, I find sugar free jello salad. I am all excited as I buy it for him, thinking about how happy I am going to make him. I text him at work that I have a suprise for him. He calls me on my next break and starts guessing what it might he. He guesses that I found him a car (hes in the market for a new car), an xbox..... I tell him its a small somthing, that he's over shooting..... He guesses an I pad3. Now I am starting to get depressed, as he's obviously going to be disapointed. I tell him it was something he saw months ago but couldn't get. He guesses a few more things and I finally say, ill text you a picture. He has to go back to work before the pic went through.

After he gets off work I call him. He doesn't mention it. I finally ask if he got the pictures, he just goes yeah, I wonder how they make the marshmellowy part sugar free. Yeah I dunno Dh. That was a long time ago I mentioned wanting some. Yeah, I said it was a few months ago, but I remembered and thought of you when I saw it.........crickets...... No thank you or anything. Just changes the subject and starts taking about something else.

Now, I realize it was a small little thing, but would a thank you have been so much? Is be so touched and greatful if he ever did something like that for me. Just to show he was thinking about me.

It's bad enough getting that ungreatful attitude from the skids all the time.
