Peeved or Hurt?

I don't know whether to be peeved, hurt or just plain disappointed. You see it was my birthday yesterday. Now I don't go about informing everyone that its my birthday or anything. I truly prefer to keep it low key but I do expect my family to do something about it. I don't mean buying me presents or anything like that I just expect them to do something. It can be a small thing, like washing the dishes, making dinner, a phone call or even a flower from the garden.

Normally I get a phone call from my Dad and one of my sisters. (I'm from a family of 8 even though there are only 6 of us kids left). But I got absolutely nothing. No card in the mail. Nothing! I still haven't heard from Dad. Yeah I know they live interstate but they usually phone. I've been stewing over this for almost two days now. I'll phone Dad tomorrow like I normally do but I wont remind him. Why should I make him feel bad for forgetting. You know if Mum was still alive she would've remembered.

I've decided that I am definitely hurt & disappointed. Pass the tissues please. Time for a pity party or maybe I should just go to bed.
