It has begun...

October is the month that the blitz of birthdays/ holidays/ and parties start.

I am very, very,very bad about remembering birthdays. I know mine and I know J's. I know HB and I know The AH's. My parents fall in November approx two weeks from each other - I think my Mom was born on a leap year so she only celebrates it every seven years. That or it falls on Thanksgiving. Brothermans is in Jan and I think Auntie C is the same as my Mom's give or take a leap year or two. There is an anniversary between two birthdays in October - once again...the parents. Ask me the day exactly - I will be guessing - I think its the 9th. Grammas already passed, its in August and Brians is around Easter. The day you ask...your gonna have to kill me. I dunno.

I think that thats why they have cards for bozo's like me. The 'sorry I am late, but forgive me I am cute!'

So - I rely on Mom to remind me. When she doesnt, I get angry. I know I am old enough to remember but...come on...you didn't breastfeed me and now I need you to make it up to me!

(I love guilt - do you think it worked?)

So in between those things - you have the holidays. We have Columbus Day - Halloween - Thanksgiving and Christmas. New Years Eve and New Years Day. You have to have a party. You have to go to a party.

In between this you need to buy presents and outfits and wrap presents and dress yourself.

I am tired just thinking about it and we are only into day 4 of the month.

Well - its HB's birthday today even though he doesnt read this blog - I will wish him a great day!

I guess that all the work we will put into the next few months will create good memories for everyone. So it should be worth it.

But - I do want to remind everyone that mine is in February......
