I woke up this morning with that dread that comes with knowing you are a year older. I never have felt this before but I have never been made to feel so old either. I was greeted with what you see above when I came downstairs thanks to my stepdaughter, Kenzie. She apparently made it with Johnny and hung it up. I then received these little “cards” from both Johnny and Joley.
It is great that kids can still appreciate the goodness of a birthday. I have had a ton of “Happy Birthday” messages on Facebook, half from people that I rarely ever talk to. I also received a very nice card from my mom and dad, who are always great about making days special for me.
Unfortunately, my husband hasn’t found the time to even send a text message to wish me a happy birthday. I should know better though. He has never been big on celebrating days about me (birthday, Mother’s Day) and I end up being upset and let down. Thank God for my kids who can make me feel special with a simple hug and happy birthday.
So, yeah. I am not in a great mood about being 35. I would be okay if this day were just over already.
How do you feel about birthdays? Do you do anything special on your day?
Happy Belated Birthday Stefany! I know how you feel, my hubby is never up to celebrating birthdays, Mothers day, Fathers day, etc. I hope you had a great day and your kids are awesome for doing that for you 🙂
Belated Happy Birthday!
You’re not old Stefany, but shame on your husband. You should bake a cake and celebrate with the kiddos because they do know the meaning of a Birthday and would love to share the cake with you.
Hugs!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It was very sweet of Kenzie to make such a sweet surprise with the little ones. <3
You know, men are men. Such different creatures than we are. My husband isn’t big on celebrating Birthday’s either, but I make it clear that Mom ALWAYS made sure that your special day was just that, yours. Be it just a cake, a store bought one to make it even more special, but it was yours.
So before my birthday, I tell my husband, I WANT something special. Thank you honey for understanding, I’m sure you’ll do something very nice.
See, no question about expectations and if he lets me down it’s an open to slam his fingers in. 😉
Hope you had a happy birthday! I’m not much into my birthday either…being another year older and all.
Happy Birthday, Stefany! Your kids are sweethearts. You should be proud of them. Maybe your hubby just needs a reminder to wish you a happy birthday. And not to worry, you aren’t old yet!
By the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I know I wished you that on Facebook but I don’t mind wishing it again. By the wasy the happy birthday sign is really cute, she did a great job!
Well I think you are still very young, enjoy the parties. Sorry about your husband, mine isn’t much better and I always have to give him a list! I turn 60 this year and that’s a big one. I am happy to be here.
My birthday is Dec 16th, and I have had some great times. I will plan my own celebrations and with it being near Christmas there is always somewhere festive to go to.
I’m sorry you are feeling old and let down. If your husband won’t celebrate you then celebrate yourself. It doesn’t have to be expensive either, find someplace that offers free food, make your favorite meal, eat only ice cream for dinner if thats your style, make a cake or buy a store bought, dress it up and have the kids help, eat your favorite cookie or dessert if you don’t like cake. Take a shower with a special soap or body wash, eat off the fine china if you have it. MOST of all remember. You are you that is truer than true no-one is more youer than you!! Celebrate how unique and wonderful you are, TRULY!!
