What a sucky birthday.

Sort of a vent, sorry.

So Friday was my 26th birthday. Jamie is standing up in a wedding today (Saturday), so the rehearsal was last night.

I got home from work, saw him for 20 minutes before he left for church, I ate a bowl of cereal and then he came and got me to bring me to the rehearsal dinner (which was disgusting bar food).

Then when we were on our way home, he tells me (doesn't ask, just tells me) I'm dropping him off at the grooms parents house so the guys can hang out "for about an hour" so the groom can chill out (he's REALLY nervous). I say fine, drop him off, tell him to call me if he needs a ride.

H tells me where my birthday gift is, and that I can open it when I get home if I want to. I didn't, and still haven't because I feel completely lame sitting by myself opening a birthday gift.

He doesn't call, but he doesn't come home in a hour either. Instead he shows up at 3am smelling like stale cigarettes and beer. Nice. 

I woke up at midnight or so and bawled my overly hormonal eyes out because I realize that I had spent my birthday pretty much alone.

I didn't get a single phone call from any of my "friends". My brother didn't call. Neither did my sister.

And to top it all off, my own Mom didn't even call me to tell me happy birthday.

And now I'm crying. Again.

This probably sounds really lame and immature, but I'm just really bummed out that I spent my birthday pretty much alone. Jamie didn't even make an attempt to spend time with me. Neither did my friends or family. That makes me feel like such a loser.

Re: What a sucky birthday.

  • Aww Michelle I don't think you're over reacting or just being hormonal. I'm sure even if you weren't pregnant right now you'd feel the same way. I wish I had advice but I would be so upset too so I just wanted to tell you your feelings are valid. I hope it gets better ::hugs::
    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...

  • Aww, sweetie, I'm sorry to hear that.  Sucky birthdays are the worst, and I agree with Tonia, your feelings are valid, pregnant or not.  Boys are dumb sometimes, they just don't get it.

  • oh no!  Girl, I'd feel the same way even not pregnant.  That's crappy that none of your family or friends called.  I'm so sorry, birthdays are fefinitely not supposed to suck.  *hug*

  • I'm sorry! I would definitely feel the same way and I'm not pregnant. Happy Belated Birthday, BTW! 

  • Um, ew.

    I'd definitely be pissed/upset as well. Even when my birthday falls on days when Danny has to work  he still makes sure there is something sweet for me (and vice versa), so I totally get why you'd be upset.

    And I've come to expect my mom to call me on my birthday (either 1st thing in the morning or as close to 5:13pm as possible), so if I didn't get a call from her, it would disappoint me as well.

    {hugs}

  • First, Happy Birthday, Michelle! Second, I am sorry you didnt get to spend your birthday with your husband or family. I know this is not quite the same, but I remember someone telling me that you're never alone when you're pregnant... So maybe try to look at it that way.... You got to spend some quality time with your son even though he's inside! :-)

  • Big hugs to you my dear!!!  I'm sorry you had to deal with such inconsiderate behavior esp. on your birthday.  The hormones certainly don't make it any easier.  I hope you are feeling better......

  • Sorry I'm late, but *hugs*. If we lived closer I would have brought you cake.
  • I'm sorry I'm late to this too but I must be hormonal as well because your post almost made ME cry!  I'm so sorry your day sucked, sweetie.  What Nat said about not *really* spending it alone was sweet though.  I hope Jamie is making it up to you big time and that you have a good week!
