remind myself i am actually growing younger and that my children will look past my lack of control to bodily functions
There are a number of ways to celebrate a birthday. If you have an older friend or member of the family-mom or dad for example. You may want to take them out with the rest of the immediate family to an elegant restaurant where you can all celebrate together. Also if it is a younger member, or someone else, maybe a good friend you could always stay at home and have a nice party. Maybe order a couple of different types of pizzas and have a nice birthday cake in addition. Just make sure to take a brisk walk in the park afterward to burn off all of those extra calories. You may also want to take the family and celebrate at a local Applebees or Friendly's restaurant. There you can get a great meal for the entire family, including the birthday boy or girl at a modest price. The staff even sings a Happy Birthday tune for you at both of these restaurants. As you can see by my examples-there are multiple, as well as fun ways to celebrate a birthday.

Quietly. Alone if possible. After a certain age, getting a burn permit for birthday candles is wayyy too much trouble as well as cost prohibitive, although having a few specimens of Fire Dept eye candy show up to supervise the "burn" wouldn't be a bad thing. ;D
