Happy Birthday to you!

I know how you feel! Birthdays are tough and I know I have a terrible time remembering birthdays. Last year when I turned 21, my great aunt passed away from brain cancer. Of course my birthday got put on the backburner and rightfully so. I felt terrible and guilty for even feeling bad about not really having a birthday, but the fact that I was very distraught over losing my aunt didn't help matters either. I got to go out with a couple of friends for dinner which was nice, but I never got the typical 21st birthday celebration. I ended up just listing all the things I was thankful for and felt so much better about myself. Birthdays seemed like a small thing compared to everything else!

I hope things get better for you! I'm sure hormones aren't helping at all, but it will get better with time!

Happy Birthday, Crystal, my friend. I swear, no one would believe you are 32 unless you've aged tremendously since last I saw you. Hey, my sons forget mine, but whatever. Folks are so busy rushing around and complicating their lives, they don't have time or brain cells left to remember anything.

This is probably going to come out unfeeling but if you have your hubby and family what more do you need? There are alot of people that don't have that, count yourself lucky for what you have.

Happy B day

Happy Birthday!!!

 

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

See here is the issue. Why do we celebrate our own birthdays anyway?? Really? We showed up. Naked screaming and needy. Wait till you pop that little hunny bun of yours! You'll know who should get the presents on his/her birthday!!!













After I was grown I sent flowers to my mom on every one of my birthdays. After I married I sent them to DHs mom on his birthday - I thanked her for giving him life.

I call them Happy Birthing Day gifts.

Happy B-day!!

I didn't have the best birthdays growing up... more than anything they summon feelings of disappointment and guilt... not to mention the heartburn from stressing out... so typically avoid them altogether.

My Dad calls every year and sings... always frightening but nice to be remembered.

Mom usually sends a card sometime in the 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after, whenever I see her as she doesn't like actually sending through the mail and wasting a stamp.

MIL usually gets me a card, she's quite good at picking them and makes a point of making sure the card is here on the day... of course she lives less than a mile away so that helps some.

DH... he KNOWS my B-day is Dec 13th... his problem is he doesn't realize that today is the 12th... if that makes sense. Usually someone will mention the date at work or school and he'll let out a DOH and make a mad dash... good thing I keep a list of desired kitchen gadgets around for just such occasions. He got this habit from his dad... on Christmas Eve FIL goes out and gets MIL's gift... some years he takes DH with him, others not... still have the fleece robe from that first Christmas... bit raggedy, but still warm and comfy so there ya go.

Those are the folks I can count on (ish) to recall that day is anything other than another day... sometimes disappointing to be forgotten, but overall it's not that big a deal... at least I'm not hearing "If you hadn't been born..." anymore... that alone makes EVERY day a happy one.

I'm bad at remembering birthdays, so I mark every one on the calender. I dont miss very many that way! I go out of my way to get them a gift and then they forget mine. Last year I went a whole day at school and no one wished me happy birthday. I made me feel kinda forgotten, and low on the priority list!
