Birthday Celebration

We have just discussed about that EXTRA HOUR and most of the answers were to be spent this hour for themselves.

Now, since this is my birthday week, I would like to focus my question on thoughts related to birthday celebrations. So the Weekly Question for this week would be…

WEEKLY QUESTION # 8

How would you like to spend your special day, your birthday?

My answer:

This is the eve of my birthday. I am celebrating this special day with my only son Julian who was born seven years ago. Julian asked me the other day if I am going to work on our birthday. My answer was a resounding “YES”.

My reasons? I would not be doing anything at home so why bother being cooped up there, even if its my birthday. Hubby has work and doesn’t usually come home around 8pm. So yes, we will go to work.

By we I mean us since they go with me to my workplace.

We usually celebrate birthdays with mass offerings. We will still have a mass offered but we won’t be able to make on the specific day of my birthday.

Instead, we would celebrate our birthdays on the day after the said date where our schedules would allow us to go to mass and have dinner after that.

It is usually customary to have a big celebration on the 7th birthday but we decided to forego that since Julian doesn’t like to have a celebration. He will instead have a small celebration with the other children in his Work Behavior group on Wednesday in the center where I teach.

His choice. If it makes him happy, fine with me 🙂

What about you?
