Rjmakmom Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Ok, I am having a big ole pity party and you're all invited. I certainly can't post this on my FB page, because it is petty and I sound like a spoiled brat. It has been the suckiest birthday weekend ever. I spent the day at the grocery stores and Wal Mart, running kids around, got my leg caught in the car door, chased chickens (though that part is fun), did the dishes more times than I can count, my hubby is off trading guitars with some guy he was talking to on CL, my son is spending the night at my oldest son's house since he'll be getting home late, and I won't see him until sometime tomorrow afternoon, and to add insult to injury, I have to be at my church from 9-2pm waiting for people to maybe drop off donations for our spring festival. I was really, really hoping my hubby had made some kind of plans to take me out to dinner...or something...but nope. AND I got my freaking period this morning and have horrible cramps. So...everyone feel sorry for me - or better yet tell me to grow the hell up and act my (advanced) age. Pity party over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm sorry you're having a bad birthday! Can you take yourself out for a coffee and cookie after your church commitment tomorrow? Happy birthday!! *hugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthwestMom Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think you will feel a lot better if you can carve out some time for yourself. Enough of this "waiting for people to maybe bring donations" business. I get that you may not want to back out of that, but 2:01pm-bedtime is only for nice events for YOU. Pick the restaurant your DH will be bringing you too. If you won't take care of yourself, who will???? Happy Birthday, Rjmakmom. You deserve better! :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin'sMom Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 You are never too old to have a happy childhood or a Happy Birthday. Celebrate it next week and take everyone out to dinner. Let them know it's your birthday (make sure it's one of the places that bring a little cake and sing offkey). Sorry about your leg and all the rest. If we were there we would all sing, make you a cake, do your dishes, take the kids off your hands, and bring you flowers. Consider that virtually done! We all care.

unsinkable Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Happy Birthday! I'm sorry your day sucked. If i were you, I'd roll your celebration over to tomorrow and decree exactly what would be happening! (((Hugs))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 :grouphug: Happy Birthday Weekend! May you find joy and peace in the little things. And if all else fails, stock up on chocolate, hide in your closet and eat it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyandtheBrains. Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'll join you for the birthdays suck pity party. No night out ( which I was told was happening), no gift, no cake. Nada. Kiddo had concert with food, I couldn't eat anything there because of food allergies. So I couldn't even pretend that cake was for me. I'm bummed.

Julie Smith Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 One birthday the only present I got was the mangled dead something a cat left under my desk ... Oh, and I suppose you could include the flashing from the neighbor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Sorry it's been such a junkie day. I usually hate my birthday, too. Although, come to think of it, since the birthday when my basement flooded a few years ago, the last couple boring birthdays haven't seemed quite as bad. :lol: Really though, I know how stinky it feels to have very basic hopes and have them not work out.

Unicorn. Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 No growing up on your birthday.. Pity Party it is! And well deserved. I think you should have a real party for yourself next week, when the evil monthly visitor is gone. Meanwhile, be on the look out for a very large virtual package containing chocolate!

JessReplanted Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Ugh. I'm sorry. I always try to plan 'special' days myself, and then I fill the family in on my plan. It just works out better that way. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender's green Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Sorry about the sucky birthday. Sounds like you need to re-schedule it for next week! And don't do any of that stuff next year. Make sure everyone knows you'll be Queen for the day and other people can handle dishes, chickens, groceries, and volunteer work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Sorry. I was disappointed in mine this year, too, so I ordered myself a few things and then refused to cook dinner so we had to go out to eat. :) I have learned that I have to make it happen. It's a bummer b/c I'd love for someone else to plan something nice for me, but it doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmhearn Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 :-( You are definitely allowed a pity party. Getting your period, alone, is cause for a pity party in my book. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 BTDT!!!! I'm a bit embarrassed to tell you how many times I had sucky birthdays and Christmases, oh and don't forget the awful Mother's Days. A few years ago, I said ENOUGH! I plan spectacular parties for myself or quiet dinners with the family--whatever I want! I get them caught up in the fun. In 2012 when I turned 40, I rented a laser tag arena and invited all my friends and their kids to play laser tag with me for breakfast. (Could only rent the whole place before 11.) There were over 50 of us. Last year, at 41, it was a quiet dinner at my favorite restaurant with one other couple. DH is completely clueless, but if I get the ball rolling, he'll go along. And I have to say, I've been having awesome celebrations ever since I took over. So, big hugs for this yucky day, but vow to yourself: Never Again. And plan for a wonderful dinner out either tonight, or if you need time to prepare, sometime in the next 7 days. Tell your DH to get you a present asap. (he could order it online so it arrives sometime in the next couple of weeks.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieSong Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm sorry it was a bad weekend! Have you had a talk with your husband about what you'd like to do? Pick a different day and go out or have dh and the kids cook for you...maybe make or buy a special dessert. My dh likes to have concrete suggestions. I hope this week is better for you!

Barb_ Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm with garga...about 5 years ago, I decided to do what I want for my birthday. If I want a party, I plan it. If I want a haircut and a massage and dinner with sweetie, I make it happen. I always buy myself something I've had my eye on but couldn't justify any other time of the year. This year I spent some credit card points for a night in a hotel about an hour away, bought myself dinner, worked out and then after a hot bath, spent the evening reading and drinking wine and eating strawberries with a good book in the middle of a king-sized bed. All. By. Myself. My birthday gift to me was a beautiful pink Electra beach cruiser with hand painted flowers. I dearly love it. Make your birthday something you look forward to!! We all deserve one really special day of indulgence once a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, since it was so sucky, perhaps you don't count this one and do a "do-over" next year! Forget this one and the benefit is that you are now "one year younger"! :) Hot Lava Mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in OK Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 :grouphug: Happy Birthday!!!!! BTDT myself this year. My bday was on Easter this year. My husband didn't get me anything. My kids didn't do anything. My inlays got me a Duck Dynasty poster and a Duck Dynasty "book of wisdom" (or whatever it was…I dunno…it's in the trash now) AND a Duck Dynasty bday card. :001_rolleyes: AND my cycle started that day too.
