Its Izzy's 21st birthday. I didn't sleep well. I tossed and turned a lot and don't feel refreshed even though I went to bed early. I am working today which is different. I normally like to use the day as a day out with my husband but I always feel like my husband got bored fast and we just end up at home.
I sent off gifts to her for her birthday and I noticed Alex called her sis On fb. Will we get any recongition from her? Or just her primary family? I know we are fortunute to know her and all. Sometimes. Its that never ending question of when will it ever be enough? When will my heart ever be fully accepted of the situation?
I don't have any plans today besides zumba. There will not be any birthday cake. My poor husband made her a cake one year for me and it wasn't good. The cake was good but it just felt all wrong.
Hopefully, I will have a good day at work and not have any major melt downs or bitching at home. That includes me too. ;)

Thinking of you. I can't imagine how difficult this day is for you. You are in my thoughts.

I hope today went okay. It must be a hard day in some ways, but it's so good that you have a relationship, too. That's nice that Alex called her "sis." :) Made me smile.

Thanks Leah and Wendy, Overall the day wasn't too bad. I did find some intresting adoption information today and will write about that another day. It's weird of all days it would be in my face. I know I am in a much better place with being in contact with Izzy. Alex has called her "sis" before but she has never acknowledged him in that way in FB land. Stephen knew it was her birthday and I asked him if he wanted to tell her happy birthday so I let him sign on fb to do it.

Hi Susie, I am doing alright. I have been feeling somewhat sad and anxious about her Dad joining the facebook world. I so badly wish they would take the time to see me for me and know that I only want the best for "our" daughter. In my head, I have discussions with them and I am defending my place in her life. That probably sounds silly.
