Can I vent for a minute?
I'll probably DD this in a bit, since I pretty much keep the nest open on my laptop 99% of the time.
Today is my bday. It pretty much sucked. I was up ALL night last night between the 2 kids. MH got home around 11:30 from a business trip and went to bed late b/c he had to finish up some work. He took today off of work for (what I thought was) my bday. I was hoping we'd go to the Circus or something as a family.
Anyway, i WAS so tired this morning that I attempted to nap. Maren had other plans. Then we ran a couple of errands and had a quick lunch. I was still drained from literally being up every hour last night. MH started complaining about how tired he was. We came home and he napped while the kids did. Maren is newly sleeping in her crib, so I had to wait for when she lost a her and needed it to be popped back in/patted on the bum, etc. Needless to say, I didn't nap.
A majority of my friends FB'ed me to tell me Happy Bday. Only 3 called. My IL didn't call at all. I got no cards in the mail today either. My mom did bring over a gift, so that was nice.
I guess I basically just feel forgotten. I'm 31, so it's not like a special birthday or anything, but today has really just kinda sucked. There was pretty much nothing special about it and it just felt like any other weekend day, but during the week. I'm sad.
Ok. Vent over.

Re: Can I vent for a minute?
I'm so sorry
Happy Birthday!!!
(((((HUGS))))))
Boo! I'm sorry, Brew. I was hoping you had a great day.
Is is possible that J has something exciting planned for the two of you this weekend?
(((hugs)))
Happy Birthday!
You take my ovaries, I take your yarns.
I'm sorry. My last 2 birthdays have been like this--and it's really sad for me. I don't expect much, just someone to at least acknowledge it. I wish I could do something nice for you right now (especially some rest!)
Hey, we share a birthday. I turned 30 today.
Mine pretty much sucked too. I couldn't sleep last night. Big US was this morning and I guess I was nervous/excited about that. US was good as far as the baby was healthy but I found out we were having another girl. I'm not ashamed to say that I am a little disappointed about that. Mostly because we are 2 and done and so I now have to come to terms with the fact that I will never be the mother to a son and that makes me sad. And every person I've told that we were having a girl was kind of sad that it wasn't a boy as well. So many people were hoping that we were having a boy! After the US, DH took me to lunch. I don't know what happened but after we ate, I started feeling like crap. For the rest of the day I laid around in bed dealing with a stomachache. Around the house it's basically been just like any other night. Like you, I've only heard from friends through FB messages wishing me a happy birthday. I guess I'm just a little bit disappointed.
Editing to add: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!
Double boo. Well, trust - if I wasn't 35,000 weeks pregnant, I would totally come and take you out and leave him with the kids for the weekend. For realz!
I'm sorry for your crappy day. I've had a few of those, too.

Coming in late--sorry you had a sucky birthday..
This is exactly why I enacted my birthday gift rule. Ever since 30 (so for the last 3 years), I have instituted a rule that on my birthday I go buy myself an extravagant gift that I normally wouldn't do any other day. It's guilt free. It's one thing and 2/3 times it has been a nice purse. I also make sure that I get a couple of hours of free time to go pick out my gift. It makes me actually look forward to my birthday, because turning older sucks!
