.....and I'm hormonal & depressed.
Could someone please pass some cheese to go with my whine?!?!?!
I was raised with birthdays being extra-special. Not about the gifts but about being remembered & getting hugs of all types. I work very hard for my families birthdays to let them choose a fav meal, no chores, "Happy Birthday"s all day long, etc....
DGD was ill with a horrendous..... no..... the worst ever.... ear infection. Screamed for 4 hours. We were all tired. My birthday came and went. A few minutes of presents and cake. A day of chores and a sick baby.
I was kinda hoping that somebody would say, "Sorry we couldn't do anything special for your day" but nobody realized that I was sad.
Boy, this sounds petty! Yikes! I'm menopausal, depressed, and very tired. DH has two business trips planned and I can't go. (I usually go with him but my parents can't take care of the children since my father's heart attack.) I can't get to Tennessee to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday this weekend. (Our days are 4 days apart.) DS's 10th birthday is today and we have partied all week. I'm tired from 9 & 10 yr old boys!!!!! My birthday is a prelude to his (mine 1/14 and his 1/16).
I'll be OK tomorrow. Just ignore me. There is something therapeutic about putting things in a concrete form and then letting it go. My family loves me and I just haven't been able to communicate to them what I really want. We have been through lots worse and I know this is petty.
Just needed a hug.

I didn't even know it was your birthday.
