Meet the Party Planner Extraordinaire! For the past 15 years, she’s been the go-to gal for all the family’s celebrations. But here’s the twist: not once has anyone returned the favor for her birthday! This year, things took a turn for the worse when her own mother asked her to cook and plan her brother’s party, thinking he was depressed (spoiler alert: he’s not, he just doesn’t want to quit smoking weed for a job ). When her birthday rolled around, crickets. No happy birthday, just her mom hanging out with her brother and SIL. Her hubby came through with a gift, but she’s left wondering: is it too much to ask for one day to be about her?
