My 21st birthday remembered
My 21st birthday was on the 21st of May in 1982 (I think it was). I was still at home and going to Jr. College. I considered it a big deal to have my birthday on the same number as my birthday. I ended up not celebrating my birthday on my actual birthday.

That year my sister had her son, Andy on the 18th of May. So my parents took a trip out of town to see the new baby. I wasn't able to celebrate my birthday until the next day. Somehow, it wasn't the same.

My Dad said I could pick out what I wanted from the jewelry store that year. I had picked out an emerald and diamond necklace that would go with my emerald ring my Dad gave me for my 18th birthday. I remember bringing it home for my Dad and Mom to see what I had wanted to get. My Mom saw it and nixed the idea of me getting the necklace before I could even show my Dad.

Well here I sit at the computer and its nearly 3:30 in the morning now. I started getting sick yesterday at school. I was sneezing like crazy most of the day. When I got home I started taking meds. I took everything from Claritin (thinking it might be my allergies) to Theraflu and so far no real relief. Then about 11:45pm I took something that had an antihestomine (not sure what it was since it was out of the box) I figure good something that would dry me up. Well it actually did dry me up however I have been a wake most of the night. UGHHH!! I was suppose to work today but when i woke up at 11:45 pm and good not hardly talk or do much else i called in to the lady that assigns the subs and told her i could not work. Yesterday, Justin was sick with a low fever and coughing. I am hoping to be able to send him to school today. He has missed 8 days of school so far this year and can not miss anymore than 10 before they decide to retain him. I would rather he not have to stay in 3rd grade a
