Hubby turning 44 today!!!!

Larry's 44th Birthday is today!  He's such a man.  "No different than any other day, I'm just one day older than yesterday, and a week older than last week.  No big deal"  Was his answer when I asked him what he'd like special for supper, if he'd like to go out, etc.  Yet you know, if you did nothing, deep down inside he would be hurt!!!!  Even though, if I pull that and say no big deal, I get just that, nothing ~ no big deal made.

So what to do, what to do.....  Hard time of year.  He's planning to postpone boiling until tomorrow because our children are going in different directions and I need a hand with that.  Our youngest is going to the school to watch a movie "Community Movie Night".  My 10 y.o. son is home today sick so he can't attend the movie.  Our middle son has been asked to go to a school dance in Enosburg with a girl he's known since he was born. 

So I'm thinking I'm going to let him think we aren't going to celebrate tonight much at all for his bday.  Tomorrow hopefully we have enough sap to boil in the sugarhouse.  If so we'd be boiling around 3pm in order to be done in time to go to a calcutta we have tickets for tomorrow night.  I'll make phone calls as soon as he gives me the go ahead that we ARE going to be boiling.  The I'll just bring his cake down to the sugarhouse tomorrow and close enough! 

I did make him his very own batch of PB fudge! 

He's hard to shop for.  We are at the point in our lives if we want/need something we just buy it ourselves.  He needs nothing and wants nothing (other than more sap).  I hate buying something he might like just for the sake of having a present.  That usually doesn't work out, it's a waste.  He's more impressed by doing tasks for him like; having all the sap hauled for when he gets home, making homemade donuts for the sugarhouse (which I'll do in the morning), wash the truck, etc.

Anyone else out there have hubbies that are difficult and are like this....noooo...big...deal...!
