I just realized I have taken one trip a month since December. I want to go somewhere again. I have not the money to accomplish this. Oh well.
Brian and I are working on what we’d like to do for Felix’s birthday. It falls on Easter this year. Great. I don’t really feel like having people over for cake. I know that there are other people who miss him but I feel like it’s such a private day. Maybe because of the circumstances of his death and birth. I don’t really know why, it’s just not a day I feel like sharing with anyone but my husband. (and the kids, I guess) Has anyone else felt like this? I have read about people having cake and releasing balloons and the like but I don’t think I’m there just yet.
I’d just like to get away.
We usually have people on a Fri/Sat/Sun close to the kids’ birthdays, and then reserve the actual day for us as a family day. We want to celebrate with others, but we also want to celebrate and remember alone. It has worked well for us.
