I interrupt the usual blogging about my children to remind my dad (pictured with me when I was two) and my sister that, not only did I have a birthday a few days ago, but that I also celebrated my fourteen-year wedding anniversary (a longevity feat by California standards) and that unless the phone lines were down and are still down, I'm wondering why I didn't get a phone call? I don't need gifts. And I understand the concept of saving trees, so I can do without a card, but an e-mail or a message on my voice-mail would have been nice.And people wonder why I have a birthday complex when it comes to my kids.
Is - getting older by the day
PS this is what happens when your family become blog lurkers.

Isabelle,
Happy All Good Things, Anniversaries, Birthdays, babies and black belt boys....I have become a very bad friend due to new life & job.
I think of you all often and I miss YOU !!!
Much love,

Thank you for the birthday and anniversary wishes. For the record, most of my friends did call and a lot of other friends weren't expected to because I hadn't advertised it.
I know that eventually my family will clue in and remember. In the meantime, I'll try to shake it off.
It just puts you in a weird mood when your two closest relatives aren't just separated from you geographically but emotionally, as well.
This is what happens when you age. You adopt a devil-may-care attitude and become ornery.
Is - feeling better now that I got that off my chest.
More Mak and Jack coming soon.
