And I feel a crisis coming on! Its my birthday today and my mom forgot. She said it's next week- UM NO!?


At least my DF is getting me a duck for my bday... It's a needed item (for my sanity!) and we're pretty strapped for cash. . . I appreciate that she understands my intense love for my birds and is feeding the need.

I'm sortof sad because this is my first real birthday away from home- last year i didnt have a birthday till the very end of july because DF was away doing Army things in Wisconsin. . .but we flew home and celebrated then.

I'm past the point of wanting THINGS anyway... but it'd be nice to have gotten a big old box of stuff(read: cleaning products and a garbage can ! thats all i need! usually its much cooler stereo systems or porch furniature but i am able to provide for myself now! ) from my dad like usual- but he's spending everything these days on the wicked stepmother ( no, i gave the relationship a chance, it really is a case of in it for what I can get in that case) and my stepsister just got into college(go her! yay!) at the Culinary Institute of America and they are celebrating w/ her and buying her cooking stuff and also buying SS number 2 ( there are 4 step siblings ) who's also turning 25 , but on Sunday a huge kithenaid mixer with attachments . . . and since my dad helped me pay for school I guess I dont get anything cool this year ( I feel like since I moved from CT to GA I'm like the disposable , easy to hurt child because he doesnt have to see me get my feelings bruised)

My party is saturday- I actually told my friends that I'm so into wanting to hatch eggs out that they can NOT get a gift and can contribute to my " I want to order eggs" fund.

On that note- I've only invited 2 'sets' of couples to my party. I've lived here a year and thats what I can call my good friends. . . I have many acquaintances but I guess I'm just not a typical 25 year old! I do not want to go to the bar on saturday i want to take a book and a bucket and sit in my yard with a bag of oats and be surrounded by my chickens. I have my DF, my animals, my school. . . and that makes my world go round ( well, that and an untold number of hours a day scouring BYC for info).

Countdown with me BYC members

My birthday is over in 23 hours and hopefully I can stop being depressed then!


/end pity party my mom did buy me a bbq grill . . . which has been employed every night of the two weeks we've had it.
 
Sorry that your big quarter century feels like it's slipping by unnoticed. At 48, I'm still a bit of a baby about my birthday - It's MY DAY, dangit! The only day of the year that's truly mine! LOL

That said, I wish you a happy, grown up birthday. Enjoy the party with your DF and good friends. Try to take the view that the shift in parental attitude shows that they're viewing you as an independent adult, not as a baby who has to be the center of their attention.

God bless, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Aw I feel ya, I turned 25 on the 15th too, and my mom forgot and my dad didnt remember till 5 minutes before I left the office for the day. Of course, my mom has good reason since my stepdad is in the Cardiac ICU right now, but I talked to her for over 20 minutes and got NOTHING. Thats partly why I dont celebrate it or get excited anymore, ppl have been forgetting and not doing anything for my bday for years already. DH is freaked out by my lack of enthiusiasm, I am used to being in a very abusive relationship where nothing about my life was celebrated by my ex, so when I told DH that its no big deal I am used to to not doing anything he was like "thats the weirdest and saddest thing I have ever heard!" ANYWAYS sorry I am rambling, you know, July 15th really is the best day to have a b-day, the middle of summer, Harry Potter comes out, and July babies are just awesome
