My birthday was Sunday. It's not a big deal but its nice to hear from family a quick happy birthday. Maybe a card from my grandparents. Maybe some thought into  a present if you are going to get me one.

Yeah, none of that. Maybe its because I had a family get together on Friday night and they felt it was enough. I got checks. Nice gesture, but isnt the saying its the thought that counts? Seriously, Im not hard to buy for. An OU T-Shirt. I only have 2 and only one of them fits me. Maybe some golf balls. Something small for the camaro like a hose kit. These are all things everyone knows I want but they take the lazy unthinking way out. Sure I've given gift certs or cash I also didnt put much thought into what I was doing.

My inlaws like to act like they care about my birthday. They don't. My sister in laws birthday is the day before mine. I once went to a 'combined' birthday party at their house and not one mention that is was my party as well to the guests in attendance. I got cash from them as well.

Hell even my wife got me a key ring that clips to my belt loop. WTF? Am I a janitor?

Two calls on my birthday from family. Much appriciated. Not even cards from the grandparents

I just said to hell with them all bought a trendy watch and am looking for a practice amp for my guitar.

Just one thing to say to my family either think about what you are getting me or dont get me anything. A 12 of Guiness would have been better than a check.

Last night as I was surfing the web the boys were playingon their slide in the youngest's room. Then a loud scream came from the room. Nothing unusual aas they are always screaming. BUt my wife went to check it out and immediatly told me to come in there. My youngest couldn't stand up and was grabbing his shin and screaming. Usually he's tough as nails. He busted his lip about a month ago sniffled a little and kept running around like a mad man so we knew he had to be hurt. 

It's pretty heart breaking to see him try to stand up and just fall over. So my wife took him to the hospital while I put the oldest to bed (because today is his first day of school). So the doctor said it was perhaps a hairline fracture but it was hard to tell and we needed more x rays. So today my wife will take him back to the doctor to have it re x-rayed. I hope its okay a broken leg on a child that young can cause long term problems.
