Dueling Special Occasions

So when your birthday falls on the same day as Father’s Day, which one gets the day off? Or do they cancel themselves out entirely? I’m not really sure.

Of course, birthdays aren’t nearly as cool as an adult as they were when we were younger. I no longer wait with excited anticipation for the big day. Now I just hope to sleep in and get through the day without a meltdown from a child. And maybe an adult beverage in the evening.

Happy Father’s Day, Aaron. And happy 33rd to me. Hopefully double 3’s works out better than 32, with fewer new wrinkles and grey hairs.

  1. Happy Birthday!

    (FireDad has worked my birthday, his birthday, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day this year. BOO.)

  4. How lucky for you that I found you on your birthday! Happy, happy, happy day! I love getting random well wishes from random well people. It’s the crazies that creep me out. You know Merry Christmas when it’s Easter? I know, I’m sounding not well, but if it helps I work at a hospital and I see some pretty unwell things. Anyway, point is (’cause there actually was one), hope you have a happy day that is largely focused on you and marginally focused on dad. ‘Cause, from what I can tell from this blog, chances are you wear the more awesome pants in your house. Glad I found you. Off to check out your archives and hide from my dudes in the bathroom:)

  5. Happy Birthday! (My birthday is tomorrow, so I know of what you speak.)

  6. Happy Birthday to you … Happy fathers day to your hubby! Hope you both got a little bit of spoiling!

  7. Mine is next Friday, and in my town it buts up against the big arts festival, various concerts etc., all things that are “once in a lifetime” so I used to be fairly dissapointed to have to share the limelight. Now, at 41 (!) I just want some sushi and cake I didn’t make myself. I hope you got center stage today!

  8. Happy Birthday!

  9. Happy birthday Christina!

  10. By a couple of weird quirks, my birthday occasionally falls on Easter, while my father’s will occasionally fall on Mother’s Day. ^_^

    Happy Birthday to you! Happy Father’s Day to Aaron! Since you have competing holidays in your house, maybe you should skip them and celebrate Pride – a holiday neither of you celebrate? I bet the girls would love all of the rainbows marching down the street during the parade 🙂
