Another Year Older....

Well, my birthday was Sunday. It was nice and some what peaceful. Hubby took me to breakfast. He gave me a food processor (yay!!) I have been wanting one for quite some time.

My sister and her family decided to come down and have our Christmas together so the rest of the morning I spent tidying up the house. They got there about 1:30 and Mom got there very shortly after. We had a nice time visiting, although it can get a little hectic with her 10 month old and 13 year old. The 13 year old (AA) is a little hyper, but he also is not treated very well by my sister and her husband (S). S is not AA's father and my sister and S both treat him bad. I feel so sorry for him. I wish they lived closer so I can spend more time with him. AA made a comment that they would kick him out in a heart beat when he turns 18. I said they wouldn't do that. He just looked at me and said, "Uh, yeah they would." His poor soul is so damaged. When he is down here, I try to give him as much attention as I can. I'm hoping to be able to help him out like my aunt and uncle helped me. My father wasn't a very good father to me (but he was to my sister and brother) so my aunt and uncle would take me places occassionally and do things with me. I hope to be able to do that with AA.

Anyway, my sister crocheted me a top and gave me a photo album of AA and AI (the 10-month old). It was nice. My mom gave me a gift certificate to Michael's (yay!!) She also gave me an expensive German nutcracker on Friday. She didn't want my sister to see it so she gave it to me early. We all went to the local Mexican restaurant for dinner where my brother and his family met up with us. It was nice to have the entire family together for dinner. It's very rare for that to happen since my sister lives 3 hours away.

All in all it was a pretty good birthday. I thought I would be depressed knowing that this is my last year of my 20s, but it didn't bother me at all. Last year was bad. I was depressed and upset. Weird, I know. Oh well. I'll be 30 next year, but I don't think it will bother me, unless we have a bad year. I think one reason why 28 was so bad, was because there were some things going on that I had no control over and it was affecting our life. There was a lawsuit that would determine whether we had to sell the farm or not. Thankfully that was over this past year and we won! Who knows what the future will hold, though. Hopefully it will be a good year.
