Feeling left out

[Riki]

it's not always easy to schedule something where all of us can go... we all have our own thing that we do, well, except me..

Ml has 2 kids and a job with odd hours
Mn has a teenager and works full time
J works for the govt, and can be out of town a lot because of it
Ch is unreliable.  We usually tell her where we'll be and sometimes she shows, and sometimes she doesn't
Cl moved out of province.  Something is always planned for when she is home, usually sometime in the summer
Then there's me and Mom, and Mom just follows me wherever I go

Friday was the only night that Mn had off work.. Cl is still in Ontario, so she wasn't there either.. I think it was thought that it would be just Ml, Mn, and J, but Ch showed too, for a change.. it was suggested that something else be planned on a day that I could go, but nothing else was said about it.. I'm kind of hoping that something can be planned for my birthday in a couple of weeks.. I asked them to come out for ice cream with me for my birthday one year, and J was the only one to come.. I may see if anyone wants to do a coloring and coffee date.. I got some new pencil crayons for Christmas and haven't taken them out for a test drive yet.. *L*

A coloring a coffee date for your birthday!  That sounds like a lot of fun.  My husband bought me some high quality. artsy fartsy pencils and coloring books several years ago for Christmas, and I quite like them.  I don't have a creative bone in my body, so these things help me pretend that I do!   

I hope you have a nice birthday and that you can enjoy it with some friends.  Have a great time!
