Attn: Mr. Postman

Yesterday was my 28th birthday. I had a parent meeting at work last night and Cody had been at the station all day and then had Paramedic class until 10:00. Carley was with my parents all day. After school and before the meeting I didn't have time to go home. I ran to my parents and fed Carley then I had to be back at work. After the meeting I went and picked her up and went home. I pulled in the driveway at 8:45. I got Carley out of the car and carried her to the mail box. I was telling her that it was my birthday and that I would read her my birthday cards. Earlier in the week I had already received some birthday mail and I just knew that this day would hold the same exciting sight when pulled down on the silver door. I excitedly opened the mailbox and.....it was EMPTY! I proceeded to check my neighbors box to see if they had mail and they did. The mailman had come, just nothing for the Nelsons. How many days a year do you not receive any mail? Maybe 3 days a year? No cards, bills, coupons, magazines! NOTHING! What in the world?? I looked forward all day to coming home and getting the mail and there was nothing there. An empty mailbox any day is sad, but on your birthday it is depressing.
