I came home friday, the 9th, after work to some yummy calzones and a decorated house. It was a nice surprise "party". My mom bought me my favorite cake from Wegmans, the one the Deans introduced me to on my 16th birthday. My sister regifted me a singing dog she got for Christmas last year and my dad gave me a basket full of the stuff needed to make chocolate chip cookies. For like 3 batches. Complete with vanilla, flour, sugar, and even eggs and butter. It really was an ingenious gift. And then my mom said she was going to save my gift from her for Christmas. I was not happy with that but I let it go and decided not to make a big deal of that.
On Saturday, I woke up at 6 for work and was secretly hoping for breakfast. No such luck. Then at work I kept my phone with me all day and was hoping for atleast a happy birthday text from my parents. No such luck. I was kind of devastated. I just wanted to cry. I had one coworker remember that it was my birthday and I got a whispered 'happy birthday' from him. My supervisor completely forgot and I know I mentioned it to him atleast 3 times. It was just an awful day. And then about 6 my mom texted me and gave me 2 choices for my birthday dinner., which was really unexpected, but neither of which were really great. I picked the better of the two with the hopes of a free birthday dessert. We got to the restaurant and 2 of my siblings were not there. Ok fine. I decided to try something new and ordered nachos. They were awful. Really awful. I ate about 10 chips total. Then the waitress came and asked if we needed anything else, said the didn't do anything for birthdays, and then felt bad and decided to 'hook me up". She came back with the biggest, best piece of chocolate cake I've ever had. It was SO GOOD!
Then at home I broke down and freaked out about people not caring about my birthday. I was a brat. I tried really hard not to do that, but it just all built up and came out. Then my brother came down with my present from my mom and just said 'mom says happy birthday'. My present was a beautiful watch with changeable watchbands. It is so perfect! I LOVE IT. 
On Sunday I got off work at 1, instead of at 7, and we had my birthday dinner. I chose hamburgers with cheese and caramelized onions and cheesy beans made with velveeta. My mom also made homemade mac and cheese. Dinner was so good!
So, basically, the day before and the day after my birthday were really, really great. The day of was pretty awful, except for the cake and the watch. I've just decided that I need to start now and get prepared that birthdays aren't a big deal anymore. I'm in my 20's and if anyone remembers anymore I'll be lucky. If I get a present, it'll be a huge deal. But just in case I'm not mentally prepared for my 21st birthday, just be ready.
I'll probably me a monster on my actual birthday day.
