It's May Bday Month!

What a wonderful birthday morning I was able to share with the birthday girl Jade. Now I obviously don't work on my birthday, and the more I thought about it, it just seemed kinda rude of me to work on Jade's birthday, as well. So naturally I didn't. Work just didn't fit into my schedule today what with having breakfast out and then pedicures and of course a little Von Maur time. I would have just felt like a snot if I ditched out on all of this to go work. And birthdays are a big deal to Jade, if everything doesn't go exactly how she hopes she won't think twice about throwing a tantrum. Between her and Knox, I just wasn't in the mood to deal with two crying babies. And I also felt I deserved a good morning on account of the way the week had started.

First things first, I received some pretty bad news about my job that I love so much. All of those fake titles my superior likes to give out i.e. "director, assistant director, senior, senior assistant, rookie senior director deputy, ext, ext" are all being done away with. This is serious, it all has to do with the government and the new laws about for profit schools or whatever. I am devastated! How am I expected to get motivated if I have nothing to aspire to? No dream of someday being able to put the word "Senior" on my business card like my big sister Jade gets to. Never will I get the chance to lead my own conference call and ask questions that nobody answers. It just sucks.

The next bit of bad news came via Facebook, imagine that. I found out my cousin is getting divorced, from his original wife, not the fiance he cheated on her with, but the original wife he met ten months ago. Ugh. I was so excited about having a new cousin at the Christmas party and I didn't even get to meet her. Or her two kids. I just feel bad that I had to hear about it via Facebook a la a post that read "So u wit that horror? Fine. I want the divorce finalized." Sad! Now I'm thinking "horror" meant "whore," that's a tricky word to get right. And then the post was followed by a series of cat fighting involving words like punt, prack whore and plit, but with C's where I put P's. It got a little vulgar, even for Facebook. And if this was all in public I can only imagine what was exchanged in private. But maybe they do it all in public so they don't have to do it privately? I guess that would make sense. Man, I just hope that nobody ever tells me they want a divorce someday on my Facebook wall. Then again, I shouldn't be that surprised because we all (all the Facebook friends) saw this coming in the previous posts. Things have been going down hill ever since the last "nothin ever goes right for me anymore, why does everyone I love let me down" post. I guess I just figured that a couple who could bounce back from both having other engagements while still being married to each other could get over anything. I'm just gonna miss all of the self taken sexy bathroom photos of the wife I never met.

But I shouldn't be thinking about negative things right now. This is May birthday month and that's all that matters. Last night was a dinner in Omaha for Jade's birthday. Then my parents took off for South Carolina to visit Jordan at Clemson for his birthday on Saturday. And for my birthday next Monday they said they're going to call me because they'll be too tired from celebrating with Jordan all week long to make the trip to Topeka. That's okay, I'm used to it by now. Jade's is the first birthday so they're always excited for it, Jordan's is second and he is the Princess so something big is always planned (surprise party, vacation, ext), and mine being last means I have always gotten the leftovers of the birthday month. My cake was typically a combination of whatever Jade and Jordan didn't eat at their parties, usually a nice ice cream angel food cake brownie mix. My party's were usually a New Kids on the Block-Ninja Turtle theme depending on whatever Jade or Jordan picked. Oh well, I'm just glad they remember it is all. Only 12 more days til it's finally my Facebook day.
