A shout out to my insurance company!

I am not a big birthday person. Couldn't care about most of it really. As I age, and not eat junk most of the time, I don't really want the hassle of planning to eat out. However, a small token by my kids/hubby is what I would like without having to ask for it.
It could be cleaning for me, or a gift I won't buy myself, or doing a chore that I don't love to do. Service goes a long long long  way for me as a gift.  I love service as a gift I can usually buy the other things for myself.

But this is how my day went instead and I was ok with it all until dinner, no cake, no gift and .... well nothing much.

I got a happy birthday at 5 in the morning- a great start off. Very hopeful.
 Later, we left to take Scott and Kenny to the airport a day early so we could celebrate my day. Again good, even though the start was a bit rocky.
We went to bass pro, the sportsman's warehouse and walmart looking for last minute stuff, which was necessary, but no one asked me what I wanted and we  never bought me anything. I bought myself a new swim suit off the clearance rack while I looked for Kennedy a sweater and waited for a prescription.... I was content to buy that than have someone else buy it, but I wished someone would have thought a little about me.
We ate out which was fine because I planned my cheat day to be this day, until we only ate fast food- it was a long day, I was tired, so was Scott, but I would have liked to be the one to say "Lets order out and go back to the room".
 Petes Fish and Chips really made up for 75% of my disappointment cause I cant get it and do love it, love those sloppy fish sandwiches love lobster too, just saying. cant get that on the mountain either....

The kids and I swam, which I love, yet Scott was too tired come out and sit with us, but I don't really blame him,  it was hooootttt outside at 8 pm.

Yet, Happy Birthday to me, I bought myself cake on the way home from the valley and the kids sang to me when they wanted to share a piece with me.

I woke up with a sick stomach, so the cake was not a good idea. Ha to me.

 3 of my 4 siblings and my mom/stepdad texted me. My kids kept saying that they thought it was the 11th,  and arguing about it....hmmm yep that is why.

 On the upside I got a card in the mail from my insurance company. If I had known that would have been the only recognition, I wouldn't have been so quick and snarky to throw it in the junk mail bin with a snort that they just want to keep my business.

This is the icing on the cake-pun intended- of why lately I have felt unimportant and bit maxed out on my desire to stay anonymous.I guess I have spent so many years trying not to be noticed for fear of ridicule or making too much out of a situation and making someone feel obligated, now that I have achieved it, it isn't what I want either. Birthdays are for new beginnings, so if I don't like the way things are, I can change them. Heres to something different next year.
