Aother year older

It's funny that when we are children we look forward to our birthday all year long. We start the count down at the start of the month and are so happy when that day comes. But then at some point I don't even know what age it is that we start to just think of it as a day and that's great, the feeling of ya that's my birthday today, it just stops being so much of a big deal. Today well yesterday now was my birthday and this year much like the year before I just feel that it doesn't matter. It may be that not that I am a mother I care less about my birthday and I am much more in to her day it happens to be 5 days after mine, or it could be that now that I am in my 30's its just not that big of a deal.
 It's not even that I am so in to hers because I am so in to planning anything crazy for her, because I am not. I don't think that kids birthdays need to be as over the top as so many people do. I think that that's because growing up my family didn't do over the top, a family party some years a small party of 3-5 friends and then as we got older if was pick a friend and a place to go to dinner and that's still what I enjoy doing, going out to dinner. Now a days I enjoy a dinner out because I am with my little one all day and at times I am just tired and its nice to not have to cook. We are lucky this wee know that she is well behaved and does well eating out for a one year old, no big brake downs and as she gets older she is getting better and better. That could be because now she can start to eat the same things we eat makes it a lot easier. But back to the birthday  I don't feel any older then I did a week ago, but then I don't feel any older then I did 5 years ago. Well in my mind anyway this last year my body at times feels much older, I have always felt older /old in my body because it hurts so much of the time. So even as I get older my body feels much like it always has so I don't feel older year to year.
