Today is my 26th B-Day

Hello, Ladies, today is a very depressing day. Today is my 26th Birthday, and here I am living back at home with my parents, childless, and going through a divorce, I feel so alone and old. My 25 b-day didn't bother me but this one is making up for it. Why does it get to us so bad? Not just the age, but everything, I knew this day was coming and I've dreaded it so bad, but here it is with it's evil green eyes staring me in the face.
I will have to say I've met a wonderful, sweet man who happens to be away at work for 10-20days he just left Sunday, but he calls me at least 2times a day. He works on barges makes good money but it's days like these I would love for him to be with me, he helps me get through the bad times. So now I depend on you girls today for moral support on this sad day. I just wish it was all over, and my new life was already in the making, but we all know it doesn't happen with the snap of a finger.
Well, I guess my venting is over for now, so I'll sit here at work and sob and feel sorry for myself even though there is no use in it, it's been about 2weeks since my last bad day, so all in all I'm doing pretty good. Have a great day ladies..

THANKS TO EVERYONE!!! I do feel a little better my dad sent me flowers and my bf called me at noon to tell me how much he misses me. Support is the key, uh? Seems the more support we have the easier it becomes. As I cry I thank each and every one of you, I feel so old, but it's ok it's just a mental thing I WILL SURVIVE!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! what a wonderful age! i know its hard, i know you're sad - but sweetie i assure you: you will be fine, you will some day have the family you are dreaming about. and in the meantime: its ok to be sad every now and then. you will find that, as time goes on, your "sad" days will be fewer and further apart.


Have a drink on me!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I feel your pain my big 3-0 is next Thurs. I am taking the day off but, I'm not sure that is the best idea. I might end up sitting on my couch all day in my jammies drinking and smoking with the blinds shut! Hope your day got better :)
