My darling sister is trying to organize a surprise 50th birthday party for me. I DO NOT WANT ONE!!! One of the main reasons why not is…if she hosts one for me, she’ll expect me to do the same for her, and I don’t want to. What also makes me mutter in discontent is my sister-in-law who I can not stand; her birthday is just 4 days after mine. I bet you it would not be a surprise 50th for me but for both of us. Yuck!! I don’t want a surprise party and I definitely don’t want to share a party with that …..
I’ll soon be 50 and I have a son who will soon be 22 and is still like a new born. We use 168 cans of formula a month, which is all has to be feed to him. No bottle holding on his own here. We use about 300 diapers a month and even if I just changed his diapers 5 times a day, that’s over 40,000 diapers I’ve changed and I know I’m way over that. Now just remember too he still doesn’t sleep through the night and often gets his day and nights confused. And instead of picking up a baby, its 110 pounds I’m picking up. His medicines must be given a 7am, 4pm and 9 pm. So no matter how sick you are or how much sleep you need, meds are more important and must be done and I am getting old.
I am not trying to complain or depress any one. I just want some understanding of what I go through and how I need my sleep. Instead of a party how’s about some help!!!!
Here is a list of things that would make me happy on my birthday, even if just one or two things on the list below occurred.
Sleeping in until
Staying in my pajama’s until 9
A sunny warm day
Seeing the first robin of spring
Playing with the grandkids
Alanna having her baby
Eating lots of cheese cake
Receiving only homemade birthday cards
Not having to do any laundry
Being able to spend the day doing a craft or sewing

I truly hope you get one or all of the things you wish for on your birthday. :) If I were you I'd just tell the SIL that even if she throws a party for you, you won't come. :)
I hope you get your birthday wishes too. I don't think there's anything wrong with telling her that rather than a party, a few hours of help would be nice.
Let her know that she doesn't need to spend money/time/effort on surprise party, ask her for help instead, or provide her with a handy link to your blog:)
I keep telling everyone about your baby dream, I think March 4 would be a fabulous to have a baby!
If I had the grandbabies they would in fact be closer to your house ;)
