I know this might sound really pathetic, but I can't remember ever having a birthday that really stands out. Perhaps it's because I always shared my birthday with my mother. Her birthday is the day before mine, so we always had a joint birthday celebration on her birthday. Also, growing up, my birthday happened to always fall during the week of Parent/Teacher conferences, which meant that I was always off school on my birthday, too. Now most of you would probably be thrilled to have had your birthday off every year, but school was my escape (I know.....now this post REALLY sounds pathetic) and I had to be practically dying to miss school. So, not being there to have cupcakes in class or to hear my friends in the halls wishing me a Happy Day was a little bit of a let down. None of this to say that I didn't like my birthdays.....I just don't recall any that were especially memorable.
I'm just gonna have to say that my next birthday is my favorite.....you never know what might happen!
