THIS:
was supposed to keep me from embarassing moments like the above. It was a gift this year at Christmas. I have had a few minutes to breathe in the hectic pace of last week. I updated the blog. I knew Dad's birthday was coming up - I thought the 17th. I flipped the calendar page to see who else had a birthday in March and there is DAD listed on 15 March. ARGH. I feel like pond scum. They are out celebrating with my brother today.....I'm doomed to feel like pond scum until I can reach Dad. ARGH. I'm even reading a book about how to honor your parents without guilt while raising your children without regrets. I feel guilt....but it will be o.k. when I talk to Daddy.
