Who wants to party the day after Christmas? I hated my birthday as a kid because my family would lump my celebration and presents all together. "This is your birthday and Christmas present". As a kid, I hated it! Everyone else got 2 separate celebrations. As the years passed and I had my own family my husband did a great job planning a separate celebration. As the girls got older and moved out into the world they all came home for Christmas and I would have them with me on my birthday. But now, jobs and distance prohibit them from coming home. Bryn and Colleen made it home for Christmas but Co had to go back to Grand Rapids at 6:30 this morning to be at work by 10:00. Joe had a busy day at work and was tired tonight. Bryn was getting together with friends, many who were going back to their new homes tomorrow. I'll admit, I'm really sad and feel cheated again. Joe went to bed at 9:00- no card, no present and not even a cake! I felt like I was coming out of my depression but this is really crappy and I'm afraid this will set me back! Ally and Katie didn't even call. Ally did acknowledge me on facebook but I would have liked a call. We are supposed to go to Chicago tomorrow but I really don't feel like it now.
At my age, I really shouldn't care about my birthday but I do! Maybe next year I should plan something for myself. I've never done a day at a spa or anything decadent like that but then again, they will probably be closed the day after Christmas. And heaven forbid, I should go shopping the day after Christmas! My idea of hell on earth!
Oh well. Maybe I'll just pour myself another drink and watch late night tv.
