the meeting was good ayla---although as soon as i walked in the electrcity went out--so my officer rescheduled me for may 14th---oh-well i still wasn't feeling to good anyway (the cough is still lingering) so i got to walk out 5 minutes after i walked in---and also my motivation to stay sober was 3 days in jail---probation will just keep me on the right track--(hopefully) LOL!!!

hello moms!! wow - i can't believe this thread has grown into the longest one on SR, as Midas said. but i have to say that i am honored to be a part of this group.
ok, so since i feel like you are good friends of mine, i need some advice, but first here's my day...
i guess i had a pretty decent birthday today... nothing too special... i went to work and had 3 meetings instead of the usual 5 or 6. i had several surprises throughout the day, with emails and calls from friends and coworkers just walking by, saying "happy birthday", which was really nice. after work, i stopped by carrabbas and treated myself to dinner and got a free dessert... = ) i know, you probably think "wow does this girl not have any friends?" i do, but they were all busy today and had other plans and some were on business trips. anyway, i got some packages in the mail today. i got the 1st season of dawson's creek on DVD (i know, it's an old cheesy show, but i still love it) and a best buy gift card from my parents. my brother sent me a best buy gift card and my sister sent me a bunch of stuff from hawaii, where she just got back from vacation...
so here's my deal. i'm feeling a little sad, and i may be totally wrong for feeling this way, considering there are so many bad things happening in this world to people all the time, like the VT trajedy, and therefore i should be blessed and thankful to have what i have and be where i am in my life. so, please tell me if i'm being selfish and ridiculous here, but... here goes...
every year since i can remember, i have always gotten a call from my brother and from my sister on my birthday. i'm pretty close to both of them. both have kids and they always call on my b-day and sing "happy birthday" to me and have done that every year on my b-day since the kids could sing... and even b4 that, my brother and sister would call and sing it to me themselves. this year, neither one of them called me and i have no idea why. my parents called and we had a wonderful conversation for about an hour, and my mom was even shocked to hear that my brother and sister had not called me. the thing is, i live in florida and they (my family) all live in alabama and kentucky and they have families to celebrate their birthdays with, but i live alone. i know i am the one who chose to move here, away from my family, and i choose to live alone, BUT... i just don't get it, considering they have always called EVERY year on my b-day. am i being ridiculous and feeling sorry for myself? it's not like i'm completely torn apart by it... i'm just a little shocked and disappointed, not hearing those kids singing happy birthday to me. every year, when they sing that to me, i cry a little... it's a happy cry, but it just means so much to me. but they didn't call this year, neither one of them. is that stupid for me to be upset about this? it's just weird to me. i guess i was expecting the calls and was looking forward to them all day and since i didn't get them, i'm just a little upset about it (ok, maybe more than a little... lol) and so i wanted to ask you all what you think. i know i'm acting like, poor me, poor me... right? am i just feeling sorry for myself? maybe i am. but i do have a question - if i'm right to feel this way, would it be wrong to say something to either one of them tomorrow, and if so, what would i say? or should i just let it go...?
you can be honest with me and tell me if i'm acting immature about this... seriously.
