this seems like a veru selfish goal to put on my list. But the last few years I always wished my birthdays wouldn’t exist and I always wanted to erase them from the calendar. My husband always started a fight on this day, and I have no idea why. He didn’t like the idea that he has to buy me something or spend time for me, maybe to spoil me. He always tells me that I have my own salary and can buy what I want at any time myself. And flowers are a waste of money, because they are dead in a week anyway… But those fights were the worst part. Mostly they were about nothing at all. Mostly about my job and about my work being too important to me or something like that. It was ridiculous.
This year is hopefully going to be different: My birthday is on a friday and my husband has to work, my daughter will be on the day care. So I’ll have the day for myself and can just take it easy, enjoy some tea, nice music and a little treat. I also want to get myself a present, I still have to buy. Something nice, something I wouldn’t buy every day. In the evening porbably my husband’s family will come over and I’m going to prepare something nice for dinner.
In the weekend I am not going to plan a party and won’t have guests – not this year (we had so many people here to visit us when our son was born), but we will drop our daughter off on sunday afternoon at my husband’s family for a sleep-over and go out for dinner. That will be nice. I really hope that nothing, not even my husband, is going to spoil it this year.
