Birthday Gifts Returned

June 11th, 2006 at 11:47 pm

I went to Kohl's and got a $18 gift card back. That will go towards paying for a bathing suit for my daughter.
I did stop at Burger King and get a small chocolate milkshake. I could not constrain myself! They are simply the best as far as fast food places go-

Kids are with ex's family celebrating my daughters birthday...she was born on my 30th birthday! Every birthday is celebrated by my ex's family whether you want to or not with a big family party that is overkill and over-rated. The poor females in the family are constantly entertaining each other with elaborate dinners and cookouts. I do not miss it because I had to spend a huge amount of money on gifts all the time...for not only children and teens but all the adults as well. It got to be utterly ridiculous that family members turning 42 or 27 had a big party! Yes.....I love my simple life in many many ways.
It is very peaceful in my home. The children should be back in about 1 hour. I hope my daugther had a bit of fun--- she was not looking forward to it at all. I understand...it is not easy for her either. Big parties can be over-rated. No...I do not miss the hoopla.

    I totally identify. My ex's family also has big parties and overspends. Christmas is obscene it is so lavish! I am so glad not be part of that anymore. I just wish my kids weren't.

    Yes I wish my kids were not part of it as well......
    My ex told me if the children did not go to the family parties for their Birthdays....that Grandma would not give them a birthday gift. I got so mad about that.....

    I am learning that there are many thngs I just can not control....like mean people who are self centerd. It is crazy at times.....but I am learning this is a long journey---
    Have a good week----

    I love to make gifts. I love to see smiles on people’s faces. The difficult thing is to choose the proper gift for every one but the greatest moment is when I see that my present was the best choice.
