Im feeling so crap about my birthday

[Squeakybits]

Its my birthday tomorrow, I had plans and i was quite excited, child free time, cinema, weekend away with my boyfriend (something a bit more than we usually do as i missed a big birthday last year).

Instead, me and my kids have COVID which both me and my son had complications which has left us pretty poorly and needing oxygen and on antibiotics. So I'll be looking after 2x high needs SEN children. Whilst we're really poorly. I won't be able to see my partner and his family and go to a natural event.

I have no cards, presents (bf has said him and his mum will drop by with theirs) and I just feel shit. My kids wont remember either. I made myself a birthday cake and dropped it fully frosted 😭

Im exhausted, utterly exhausted and I guess I was looking forward just having a nice day and weekend, just for me.

Any ideas on how to cheer myself up please?

Oh BLESS you, you poor thing.. I don't know what to say, I just hope you feel much better soon & can hopefully rearrange.. I have a winter birthday too, it's rubbish. Maybe you could have an honorary one this year in the summer? Hugs..

Thank you. I might have to do that and have a birthday in the summer.

Its just so crap. I know it's only a birthday and there's so much else going on right now. But I'm just disappointed. Neither child has remembered and that's fine, I knew they wouldn't, I probably won't bring it up either. Just Urgh, feeling pants

Happy birthday @Squeakybits ! I'm sorry that your day and weekend are not as planned, and hope you recover soon. Can you have a belated birthday weekend in a few weeks? Something to look forward to in the February grey perhaps? I hope you still get some cake today, maybe your partner will bring something lovely. It's my birthday today too. Wishing you well 💐

Ahh @Squeakybits. It was my birthday on Sunday and both my kids forgot too. It’s rubbish. My suggestion would be to treat yourself - takeaway, nice film or whatever you enjoy.

Big HUGS @Squeakybits , @cupidsabsolutepsyche & @Findyourneutralspace

Happy belated birthday. x

Aww. Write this one off and have a another birthday in the summer! There's no law against it!

Happy birthday @Squeakybits 💐
I hope you feel better soon

This was me last Saturday on my birthday. Both Dh and I got flu (still laid up with it). Had to cancel our weekend away to Paris. Managed to make it downstairs for football (which we lost) and take out, which neither of us could taste.
No cards except from Dh due to Mail strikes. It was rubbish tbh.
Sorry this has happened to you too x

Its been a pretty crap day. Though my partner, my SS and MIL dropped off some presents and a birthday cake.

My daughter just doesn't give a fuck. My son gave me 2 of his toys wrapped up is masking tape.

I did get some bath stuff, and candles so I'm going to put the kids to sleep early, have a nice candle lit bath and order some Chinese food. That's about the best I can do!

Enjoy, @Squeakybits
Belated Happy Birthday, @warofthemonstertrucks Hope you feel better soon.. x

My birthday's in January.. rubbish times of year to have a birthday!

Happy Birthday @Squeakybits
