My Birthday

[SWFLMommy]

So today is my 23rd birthday, and just a few day's after mothers day.  I'm 13 1/2 weeks pregnant and have been kind of emotional.  I got some exspensive gifts, but not really for me.  I got beautiful prof. picks of my daughter for mom's day and we bought another car which is basically my b-day gift.  But I am still totaly bummed out.  I din't get any cards/flowers/meals or anything, I didn't even get a little break from my daughter's constants needs.  No cake, heck I even have to go and do something I don't want to do instead of watching the SERIES FINALLY of my fav tv show tonight.  After I got off the phone with my husband and he asked me what house work I was going to get done today I just bawled for 20 minutes.  Am I wrong for being depressed right now?  I just wanted a little something special even if it was just special attention!  I always try to make my husbands b-day and father's day very special for him.  Well, I just need to vent some of this negative energy.  If anyone has a happy thought you could send my way I could use a simle.

Thanks.

You can still make today a special day! Tell your daughter that today is special because it is your birthday, and you're going to do fun and special things to celebrate. Depending on her age, you can teach her to sing Happy Birthday, and she can help you make your favorite meal for lunch/dinner. When Daddy gets home and she's fills him in on the Special-Day fun, he'll catch on that he needs to give you some deserved attention too. You can call all your friends and maybe one of them will tape or Tivo the show for you and you can make a play date for tomorrow to watch it! It isn't too late to have fun on your birthday!

 

Have a fantastic Birthday and Happy Belated Mother's Day!

Men are dopes so don't you mope....they don't empathize, they just don't realize! Bake yourself a cake and take a break.... get some flowers at the store and champagne(alcohol free) to pour.....make a party for the fam....and dress up glam!!!! 

 

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

i know it's silly I throw parties for dinner alot.....decorate the table, put up streamers and flowers...it gives housework more of a payoff and sets the tone for the house....and when the kids wake up from naps and see the table all ready for a party....well they really appreciate what you did.....( I actually decorated the bathroom after I cleaned it once....just for the recognition)

May. 15, 2007 at 1:57 PM for the first time in 3 years my husband fianaly realized that I am much better at holidays and celebrations than he is.  I plan things out and put a lot of heart and soul into them, and he goes out and buys a card at the last second.  He actually took me out to dinner, with our kids,  on saturday, for mothers day.  But I cleaned the house and took care of the kids and got up with the kids and so fourth.  But I understand the fact that men just don't put a lot of thought into these things, and when they do, it is weird, great, but weird.  But I have to admit that I felt depressed those first few holidays and birthdays when I didn't get anything but a card, or even him just wishing me a happy whatever.  Now I made sure he understands that I need something to open on those days or at least $20 and an hour to go shopping by myself or with friends and so fourth.  I know that I usually have to do all the house work myself, and that if I expect him to take care of the kids all day, that I need to expect a grumpy hubby that day also.  So what I do is clean the house the day before, so it isn't too dirty that day and I can slack off, and I also let hubby know that I will be taking a long bath that night after he gets home from work.  I usually make my own cake, or buy one, because I can't expect hubby to remember that much.  So even if I have to do all the work, I will enjoy my day!  besides that, pregnancy oftentimes presents deeper emotions than you usually would feel, which is annoying and even more depressing.  So Happy B day and even if it isn't all you wanted, at least he didn't forget it entirely.
