It’s That Time Again!

If anyone is curious what November (NaNoWriMo time — start and finish writing an entire novel in one month) is like in our household, it goes a little like this:

I look at my calendar, which tells me the date only, not the month. I see it’s the 3rd. Oh no, I think. I’d better send my friend a happy birthday message. Geez. It feels like just a few months ago that it was her birthday before.

Of course, I did send her a greeting last month when it was her birthday. So somehow 1 month is both an entire year and only 3 months to my brain.

Now I’m heading out to pick up the girls from school. My neighbor is outside, and I ask if he’s looking forward to his daddy / sons weekend while mommy is out of town. “Does she leave tomorrow?”

“No, not until Friday.”

I mock whisper, “That is tomorrow.”

“No, today is Wednesday.”

Soooo, if you ask me to do anything for you or we’re supposed to meet up this month, I suggest you text me the day before and an hour before too.

It’s gonna be fun! And probably no one will starve or get forgotten at a gas station. Probably.

  1. Your mind is acting like one of our old retired minds…I have no idea what day is what these days, but I kinda’ like it!
    Which reminds me that I can remember the lyrics of many 60’s songs better than I can remember why I walked into this room!
