not to want to always see my birthday in alone?

In 12 minutes I'll be a year older. I have seen my birthday in alone for the last 6 years the first three becuase I was in a shite "transitional" relationship after my marriage, and the last three because OH is in the Navy.

I am happy and I am proud of what I have achieved in my (almost) 37 yrs, 3 wonderful children who I have brought up alone and three wonderful step-children who I have been lucky enough to have in my life too, a lovely house and a wonderful career.

But I always am alone at this time Sad

Someone join me?

How can you defrost a sandwhich (how the fuck do you spell that?) and expect anyone (even an unsuspecting child) to eat it? Seriously...in my 37 yrs.... Grin
