=( Just another day..

[dogzr#1]

I'm sorry you're feeling bad. Your mom has offered to clean the house so your friends can come over, which shows she does care. I haven't had a party in years, nor have I had a cake. For my birthday all we do is go out to eat at a
restaurant and get some money. Even then we have to wait for a while till my parents get paid. Your lucky your mom is getting you that camera. It costs around $400 doesn't it? I would only dream that my parents would get me that expensive for my birthday.
well I'm glad you're feeling better!

I've never in my life received a gift that expensive . I can really only echo what others have already said. Focus on all that you have and are blessed with. Your life is certainly not a miserable/pitiful existance unless you make it that way with your own attitude

Do your friends even care if the house is messy..I know my kids friends could care less.

PT's always here for you Bri, I'm sure we'll organise a little 'online party' for ya Don't forget that you're a very special person here, and we will ALWAYS be here to cheer you up, so don't be sad! That's what friends are for!

Every person who has posted has said things that I was going to say, yup, EVERY single one of them. You should be more than blessed to have what you already have. I hope you continue to chear up and have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! So many people have so much less than what you have and that camera, holy cow, I'd wait 5 birthdays to get something like that.

Aww, thank you everyone! *hugs to you all* Hehe, well I've been wanting the camera ever since it was $500, but now it's finally down to $349.99 and hopefully less by the time I get it .

I agree 100% with Kay..and everyone else. I bet your mom is trying her best to make you happy and just be thankful for that.
