I've seen where others have shared that it's their birthday in a discussion, so I couldn't wait to share mine too, and now it's finally here. I'm 42 today. We don't have any major plans, tonight I have to take our son to soccer practice. My 18 year old son borrowed the car last night and it got a flat tire, he changed it during a thunderstorm which I appreciated. This morning though, I took it to the shop to get it patched and they told me that I needed a new tire, because someone drove on it when it was flat and tore it up inside! It ended up costing $80 instead of $16.50 (which was to patch a tire). They said I should make my son pay for it, but that won't happen.
It's also been a little sad, since it's my first birthday without my mom. She always took me to breakfast or lunch on my birthday, every year, so it's been a little lonely too. I did get a nice little present yesterday from a lady who was always like a second mom to us, she was my mom's best friend, they had known each other for about 50 years. Tomorrow, my daughter's and their boyfriends and my so and her girlfriend as well as a few friends of ours will be coming over to have dinner, so that will be nice.
I just wanted to share this with my friends here at mylot.

Aww Happy Birthday Peachy! You know what, you will never stop missing your mom like that on milestone points of the year. Mine has been gone 9 years and still certain days tug at my heart. But she is with you as long as you carry her in your life.
Yep Son's are so good for things like that flat tire :)) we just sometimes have to suck it up and keep on grinning. Again GF Happy birthday.

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes. I know I'll never stop missing mom, but she will always be close to my heart. I know there will be many days when I will miss her more, these first few are just a lot harder than I realized. Thanks again.

Happy 42nd birthday Gapeach. Hope you'll have a happy moments with your siblings and their partners. I think it's better to have a new tire (though it cost you much more than a patch) for a safer and better ride. Have a nice day!

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It sucks when they can't fix a tire, it always costs more. I'm sorry the same thing happened to you. Thanks again.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It did suck about the tire, but at least it's fixed now (and that it didn't happen to me when I was driving). Thanks again.

Hey,lady here's a piece of great wisdom:
A flat tire on the car is quicker & easier to fix than a flat tire on the body [belly]. It's can also be cheaper.
..piece of wisdom from someone who has her little flat,spare tire,
LOL!
Oh,I'm late.Sorry!
Happy Birthday to YOU!Happy birthday to you....
okay,I'll save your ears and quit singing.
I understand about the feelings when it comes to your mom.Still to this day,23 years later,I miss my mom on my birthday.She always made me a cake.My hubby makes me one now [or sometimes brownies].I appreciate it.Still,it's different than my mom doing it.
Anyway,just wanted to wish you a late,happy birthday.
