Yesterday was my birthday. My mom called me 3 times the day before cuz she knew she wouldn't be able to call me the day of. My one friend with a birthday the day before mine wished me a happy bday on hers. My dad called me the day of, one friend from back home, and the lady who sold me some Mary Kay wished me a happy birthday on my birthday. My brother called me today. One friend "liked" the only wall post wishing me happy bday (which I assume is her way of saying it) and no one else. And I would be perfectly ok with that... If my husband was one of the people I had listed above.

Its my nieces 2nd birthday, because of a huge stupid fight my sister and I haven't talked since right after Christmas. I am a mess! I was there when that little girl came into the world. I'll probably never know her or my soon to be nephew. All because of a stupid YouTube video!!!!!!

Our kids' birthday routine is this -- wake up, get a small present, cake for breakfast. Usual day. Then a special (favorite home cooked meal) for supper, ice cream and remaining presents. We never have more than eight people present. It's low key, low stress and we all love it. My kids never asked for a huge party although they do get invites.

I have my 4-year-old enrolled in Kindergarten in the Fall. (Summer birthday). At orientation I noticed a large % of kids already are or are going to be 6. My kid is going to be the youngest & is the smallest. My kid is also shy & soft-spoken. I'm suddenly thinking I should hold off for one more year. I don't know what to do! So worried about my munchkin!

DD8's birthday is coming up. Was texting her best friend's mom about her birthday party, and dd's friend wants to give her one of their kittens for a birthday present. DD would be so excited, but not sure if I want another animal-we have a dog already.That's one more thing for me to take care of!

I never had great summers except for going to scout camp, which I paid for myself out of birthday money from relatives. Otherwise just tried to stay out of the horrible heat where I lived and out of my parent's way for 3 months.

My best friend apparently forgot my birthday. First time in 25 years that I didn't get at least a happy birthday from her. I'm devastated.

My birthday is coming up, and I know my DH and DS want to give me a great day. Problem is that, for one day only, a theater in my town is doing a marathon of the Godfather trilogy on the big screen, and I really want to go. Is it wrong to ask if we can celebrate a different day? I'm really not a big birthday person anyway, and don't even care if I get a gift. My DS 10 is too young to see the Godfather, and to see just parts I and II will take 6.5 hours. I would be out in time for dinner! They know I want to go. This sucks. :(

Apparently last night while I was half asleep DH asked me out of the blue what I think of polygamy, I said yeah sure whatever. I do not remember this. He used his stupid little voice recorder DS got him for his birthday to record it. He acted like we were getting another puppy, if I didn't know he wouldn't actually find another woman I would half expect him to bring one home and ask if we can keep her.

My DD6 has a summer birthday and is handing out invites to her party on the last day of school tomorrow. There's a girl in her class that really likes her, but is kind of mean to her, makes bad decisions, etc. I really wish there was a way to keep her from getting an invite. I know that's terrible, but I just don't like her and I know she'll show up.
