Chutzpah girl:
  Don't know where you are....but it's still party time in my neck of the woods!  Hope your birthday was awesome!!!

[Chutzbagirl - Yeah!!!]

It was a good day.  

I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon this site.  I guess we must be a special brand of people to have survived relationship with an N, come out of denial and live to write about it.  Stormchild, your N birthday song was hilarious.   I think they are full of "poo" too!  

I look forward to getting to know you all better.  Thanks again for your wishes - they warmed my heart.

Happy Birthday a day late!!!

But maybe a week long celebration is in order.  

My birthday is on Christmas.  Wrap your thoughts around that one.  I was lucky when I was younger that my paternal Grandmother always made sure we stopped Christmas for a little while and had a cake and bday party.  I'm sure the other kids hated it.  One year my oldest brother shot a rocket into my cake. He still insists it was an accident.  Hah!!!  I saw him line it up and take aim. It was a pretty good shot actually, across two rooms and through the cake.

Kind of nice now that I am older that peope forget about it. About ten years ago I started leaving town in December and on my birthday/Christmas.  It was getting too crazy at home around the holidays.  I had heard one too many times to suck it up and totally  subjecate any of my feelings/wishes for the family.

Being in Florida on Christmas was weird at first but I got used to it.  This year we were all together on the Christmas/birthday.  We didnt really celebrate my birthday which I would have liked but there was a resounding singing of "Happy Birthday".

Hi Bliz,
My daughter's best friend's birthday is on Christmas too.
Her mom has a birthday party for her on June 25th of every year for her half birthday. It has worked beautifully.
Maybe you should be looking forward to your 1/2 birthday in June instead of the ones you missed in the past.

In support of my Dad, he did always offer to have the birthday in June or any other time. As a kid it just seemed so weird to be born on Christmas.  All my buddies that it was fascinating too. Hey, somebody has to be born that day, right. Something kind of cool, is one of my nieces was born on the 26th.  I think that would be worse, but she shrugs ift off with her usual aplume.  Kids!!, they are so darn resilient.

How do you celebrate (or deal with mother's day) - if you're not a mother - and your Mother is a raving N?

Good question. What's your relationship with your mother like?
