The Ides of March

IT is coming.

IT took a year off trying to stomp out the life force that is yours truly in 2009 and went after Laura instead. But IT made up for lost time this year and got caught up by attacking and trying to kill me off the entire month of February and almost half of March.

Seriously, I DO want to know what it is about those two months that kicks me to the curb, but I digress...

What is IT? IT is a day. The anniversary of my birth. The B-word. That which cannot be named. Evil day for evil deeds. Now, I am not evil thanks to my wonderful counselor and almighty God... therefore maybe that is why IT is always after me.

The Birthday Curse.

Many a bad thing has happened on 3/15...my parents separated on my birthday (thankfully reunited), Luke's broken leg, Dad had two emergency surgeries...just scratching the surface here, believe me, the list goes on and on, severe weather, calamity, mayhem and trauma as far as the eye can see...and I always escape death by recovering from some prolonged Ebola like virus that rears it's ugly head in February or March.

This year it was pneumonia and then allergic reaction to medication.

Are we done yet Birthday Curse? Or are we going to go another round? Will you take off until 2011? One needs to maintain a sense of humor about all this but also be a good former girl scout and be prepared. Laura has made plans to throw Holy Water on me anytime someone says "Happy Birthday!"

Actually, the scary one will be 2013...I will be 50.
One word-Armageddon.
