logans_girl2001Please tell me if this counts as 'celebrating' my birthday: Telling me that we're going to a restaurant I've never even hinted I want to eat at because my aunt who lives out of town wants to eat there or having Vic and I over for lunch, taking me to a movie (telling me to pick then arguing about my choice) and then presenting me with a completely different cake from the one I asked for (when asked to tell them what kind I wanted).
See, my birthday is July 5, sucks majorly because of the holiday. I have never had a party on my birthday with my friends (the ones my mother 'threw' for me at the camp grounds don't count because none of my friends were there) and when I did get my party it was usually almost August, one time it was August.
My mother is trying, well her form of trying, and when I mentioned that it doesn't matter (I've finally given up on getting that day where the people who are supposed to love me most in the world show just how thrilled they are that I was born) she got offended and tried to tell me I was wrong. She mentioned the restaurant and I told her it wasn't my choice so I don't think it counts as actually doing something for my birthday. Especially since it was presented to me like this: "Hey, Ann wants to eat at Texas Roadhouse so we thought we'd turn that into your party. That's okay, isn't it?"
Then I was ignored by everyone at the table. Except for when I was opening my gifts. Then they made fun of the gag gift I got, and Madisson stole it (my mother actually gave it to her because she was starting to throw a fit when I told her no).
Also, Vic has to have her wisdom teeth out, yes all four. It's gonna cost well over two thousand dollars. Insurance only pays half. And the dentist doesn't finance. They did give me a website to apply for credit on. I called my mother after and told her this. And was reminded that I just don't matter in her world (as in she never listens to a word I say).
I had to tell her several times that I applied for the maximum I was told the surgery would cost, just in case the quote I got today was too low, and will only need to use half of the credit I was given. I have a year to pay it off with no interest. I also said several time that I plan on getting Rob to sign a contract stating just how much he has to pay me, since he insists we're supposed to split any out of pocket costs.
So, this is going to be a usual birthday for me, working and trying to tell myself that it doesn't matter that the people who are supposed to be making me feel special obviously really don't care. Think if I keep saying, "Who needs 'em" enough I'll actually believe it?
