So, last week I had a run-in with forgetfulness, and it may or may not have been involved with my mom's birthday. Her birthday was on Wednesday, and I had been extremely busy for a whole day and a half before she had to tell me it was her birthday. On Tuesday, I was loaded shoulder high with work during the day, and after school, I had basketball practice which was a little bit less fun, because it was centered more on set plays. Then I had to go home and prepare to go SCUBA diving. If you've ever gone, then you know just how much equipment you have to keep track of. I had to do some homework while my mom was working to get us over to the pool. Then we headed off and were at the LSU pools that can go deep enough for us to practice diving. We eventually got home at around 8:30 and my load of homework could only be half way done.
Wednesday, I had another full day of work, not to mention even more homework. I had a basketball Jamboree after school and that didn't take that long, but, then I had a band concert, which takes long. We did great, and my feet were hurting so bad from standing up in heels, that I couldn't feel my big-toes, but then I got home around 9:00. With another big night of homework up ahead, I started and wasn't going to stop for a while, until my mom stopped me and told me that it was her birthday. She also said I had the best excuse out of everybody, but I still felt really bad. Don't forget your mom's birthday, your dad's ok with it. But your mom is really important to remember.
I know somewhat how you feel with homework and trying to keep up with all the bits and pieces of your life. I'm not exactly the best birthday rememberer ever either, so I can relate there too. I hope your load lightens a little as we near Thanksgiving break.
