So I am being completely irrational and giving into Old Wives’ Tales because tomorrow is the full moon.  Apparently, according to anectodal stories, more women give birth on or around the full moon.  I know this does not mean I will give birth on the full moon, but I cannot help but hope.  Really, I have a ton of stuff going on this week, some fun, some not, some a little stressful, so I wouldn’t mind not having to attend to this stuff and just go early.  Everything’s pretty much ready, and the stuff that isn’t ready is stuff I really don’t feel like doing anyway!  Plus, this week is my Mom’s spring break, and she already has planned to take next week off from work, so she’d be really happy if it was this week too. 

I have even gone to a website where you can see when the full moon occurred historically and checked out the birthdays of everyone I can think of to see if they occured on the full moon.  For those of you who are curious:
Tim and I were born on a full moon, Tim’s sisters Caroline and Christine were born on a full moon, Tim’s sister Katie was not, Erin was born on a full moon, Anna, Travis, Ashley, and Ian were not, Henry was born on a full moon, another friend’s baby was born on a full moon, Owen, my boss’ baby was not born on a full moon, my brother was not born on a full moon, and my friends Sarah and Diane were not born on a full moon.  I have run out of people now, but if you want to send me your birthday, I’ll look it up, as long as it is after 1951. 

I haven’t been able to blog much lately because I am training my replacement.  That sucks and I am so ready to have it over with!  I really don’t feel like doing anything but surfing the web for the next 2 days.

I couldn’t remember your birthdays, sorry!  Neither of you were born on a full moon.

I’m hoping for the monkey to be born sooner rather than later.  It would be great for your mom to be able to spend more time with you.

Looking forward to seeing you Saturday if you’re not busy.  And if you’re feeling like doing anything other than visiting, we will totally understand.
