What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

It got chilly again here today, so my weather app told me that people lose 60% of their body heat through the top of their head. I had read an article years ago that put it at like 75 to 80%, but I'm definitely going with my weather app on this one.
 
I love attention, but hate expectation because I’m almost always let down. So I wouldn’t say I dread it, but I do usually end up feeling bad.
“it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to”
Oh that's been me today with our Mothers Day. I got a "card" - piece of paper folded in quarters that he literally just did in the room with me right at the end of the day. Took him 5 minutes.
I feel so appreciated right now 😭
 
Just wondering how many people really love their birthday or dread it? And why? I'm curious... 🤔

I love my birthday. I think acknowledging the journey is important. But I also know I have these expectations that are maybe unfair to others so years ago I just started planning my own birthday parties 🤣

I’m sorry babe 🫂 being a mom takes so much from us and you deserve to be shown real appreciation 💛.

I love attention, too. But I don't want to ask for it. I don't want to tell you what I want on my bday. I don't want to think about planning my day for other people. If it were up to me I'd just get takeout and watch romcoms while getting shit faced on margaritas. Lol

I love this for you. And I’m glad you found something that works!!

I plan literally every aspect of everything else in my life and if I have to plan my own day too, I don’t even want it 🤪

I was just typing the above to Monkey as this popped up. I’m with you.
I also would really love for someone ELSE to just say “we should get takeout and watch a romcom and slam some margaritas because I know you love that”

This exactly. Just do it. Don't ask me. Show how well you know and love me and take control of making me feel special without making me come up with a plan on how to do that.

I think so much of the time before my birthday is taken up by trying to come up with a plan that makes everyone but me happy. I'm so over that. Lol.

Idk. Is it unfair to others to be made to feel special a couple times a year? I don't really think it is.

But as mothers who take care of everyone and everything except ourselves and are then made to feel like we don't matter on days we should matter most unless we plan it? That's so wrong...
