Birthday Week

Alright, everybody should have a birthday week, some should have a birthday month and others a birthday year (or decade-according to kelli). Now, i am willing to honor and celebrate others for the allotted time frame, so how come i get all the crap for wanting a birthday week (tyson)?

I did have a very nice birthday and my husband and son are great gift givers, thoughtful, loving, caring and all that. But when monday was over that was it. I feel like the rest of the week has been like a long hangover. Not bad really, just a let down. I get so excited about my birthday-yes i'm 28 not 4 but i enjoy having a special time each year just for me. You see, it's not about getting older, i don't really care about that and i don't feel that old. it's just about me. it's the only time when i don't feel particularly selfish to focus on me, pretty much the rest of the year that would be the definition of selfish but not at birthday time.

I was informed this year that my husband and caleb may not even be around on my birthday in the future because it is the opening day for gun hunting deer season. I just think that is silliness. hunting season is longer than i am asking for my birthday season to be- the choice seems like a no-brainer to me.

Oh and i must say, i did have a birthday weekend this year, but is it too much to ask for a week?
