Birthday yes, happy not sure
Today is my birthday, and I spent my Saturday night watching Netflix (as usual) past midnight, crossing into Sunday (i.e. my birthday). Was woken up at about 8+am by my 9 year old son who obviously forgot it was my birthday. When he remembered it an hour later, I realised he got nothing for me so I asked him to write me something on a piece of paper, that he happily did and passed me within minutes. My 7 yo daughter woke up at 9+am and was busy running to my room to wish me happy birthday. She apparently got me a present - A small pack of sweets (I think she got it from halloween 2 nights ago), a crystal from cow play cow moo and a $5 note. I was quite touched that she bothered to think about what to gift me as it is always the thought that counts.
Did the usual Sunday routine where I sent them to Sunday school. Woke my husband up at 11.30am, and he blamed me for not waking him up earlier cos he made some lunch reservation at noon (he didn't say it before). Picked the kids up from church and went Dempsey for an overpriced crabby lunch. Had to rush since he forgot my daughter's gym class starts at 1pm? Well, to me it was just another family lunch with the difference of him paying instead of me that's all. There was nothing else prepared, no gift, no cake, to symbolise it was a birthday celebration.
Sent my daughter to gym and dropped my son at the MRT station as he had table tennis lesson. Picked them both and went to my in-laws for dinner (without my husband of course, especially since he was busy having to celebrate his colleague's birthday, whose actual day is tomorrow, that evening). My fil bought a cake and some dinner to celebrate my birthday, while the kids were busy with k pop demon hunter on tv and snatching to blow candles. That basically sums up my birthday celebration.
I'm still figuring out what I feel but I think it's not that I'm unhappy or anything. However, I don't think there is much to make me happy? Probably that's what I'm feeling. Nothing. Then again, it's just another birthday I guess so not a biggie. Oh and did I mention that my mum doesn't even bother to wish me happy birthday at all? Not a loss though she supposedly claims that she still cares for me. Uh huh.
