men, and what is wrong with them?

ugh, the subject of men, and what is wrong with them!

My 40th birthday is coming up quickly. Last year rob said something about throwing me a party at a restarant we both love. It seems that it fell threw. Kinda of glad do not like being the center of attention.

Now it came out a few weeks ago, that he was going to take me away. He kinda asked what I would like to do. Of course I said I want to go to aruba. Or basiclly a island!

So he is working on this, in the mean time I get move in depts. So I told him better make sure ok to go away. He does and its all ok.

My first clue given to me was my last day of work would be march 17, and first day back would be march 30, nice no?

It kinda comes up that we are not going to aruba, (he thinks its too costly for us) Kinda makes mention that the kids might need passports> Having me thinking we are still going to an island someplace. Ok good.

Now I really start thinking about it.. and say to him aruba, he says no, I say are we leaving the contanental usa? He says no. So now I know where we are going FLA! I am kinda of pissed off about that. (he has family there) Now is this how I want to spend my vacation with family? in FLA?

So last night I say there are three things that will really piss me off about this trip, he says what so I do not make any mistakes because its not booked yet. I told him to figure them out! I end up telling him.
1) mets (spring training) he says no.
2) relativies (says could be) (so now I really know we are going to fla)
3) anyone going with us. (yes says yes but she isn't staying with us)(WTF?????) (she is afraid to fly) again WTF???

He spills all the beans, we would be staying within a quick drive from her, i am sure she would be in on some of our outings...we aren't at the beach, some place called springer island?
does this man listen to me at all??? its my birthday, and i would think he would want to please me for my birthday.

We had a bit of a blow out, I am pissed off as he is also!

I told him he didn't listen to me one bit, he said we can not afford aruba, i said well according to you we will never be able to. and he said you are proably right.
I am so tired of hearing that..
He said we go to aruba for 3 days with carol, and I will stay home with the kids.. NOT THE POINT i told him, i don't want to go there with her, I want to go with you.

why is it that he can not listen.
I am at the point to tell him to go on vacation with his mother, and I will stay home with the kids...
Wonder how she got thrown into the mix?!!?!?
"Will men ever listen?"
