I need a "do over"


So today was my birthday. Did it even remotely feel as if it were? Nope. I understand I am an adult with 3 kids, thus I am busy. But today was depressing. I didn't even get a phone call from my parents, or any cards. Byron was out of town and returned today only to come home from the office, eat quickly, have the kids toss their gifts at me and then out the door to scouts.
Only two people remembered to say "Happy Birthday" that don't live in my home.
So, I am going to feel sorry for myself until I go to bed(and eat lots of chocolate), but tomorrow will be a new day. Jack's birthday too. So I better have lots of wishes for him!!! Can't believe he's 7! How time flies....

I know how you feel. The mom is expected to "do" birthdays so who is left to do hers? I'm always glad when the day after my birthday comes. But with that being said, "Happy Birthday!" I would have gone to lunch with you! The next time I see you we'll go to lunch in honor of bad birthdays:)

That is a bummer! But you had a great birthday last year - well, I thought it was. :) You should've broken out your birthday banner, just so you had something cheerful to look at! :)

Sorry it wasn't as much fun as years past. Come on out, we'll have a great time!

Happy Belated Birthday!! (Hope Jack has a good one too.)

Oh no! I feel your pain. I think we all do. I wish I would stop expecting ANYTHING. But, there is that little part of me that thinks, this year might be different! Wish I could have taken you to lunch! Food makes everything better.

My daughter wo does birthdays lives faraway now, and my birthday was pretty lame too. And then I got a stomach virus. Not so fun! But if it means anything to you, I actually remembered your birthday. Sorry I did not get to get on, but I remembered nonetheless. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
