Welcome to March! Where did February go? I try not to make excuses. I really do. But there are times when I only have one excuse. And it's a good one too. You see, being a mom? It's great! It's busy! Directing a pageant? It's great! It's busy! Being a full time student? It's great, it's busy, and if you add it to the other two I already mentioned? Well, it gives you what is known as Finals Brain. Or in this case, Mid-Term Brain. So if I may flake out on something, my only excuse is that I'm suffering from an acute case of Mid Term brain.
Any other time of the year, I consider myself a farely responsible person. But during Mid-Terms, it's like something switches. Not switching off, but switching over. I couldn't tell you where I may have left the mailbox key, or if the kids' lunch money got paid, but I can sure as heck tell you what the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis is. And by the time I get home from school, aside from the permanent twitch in my left eye, my body does not want to move. In all honesty, my body desires nothing more than to make an appointment with my big squishy couch and and the mind-numbing entrancement of HGTV. (Or the Food Network-take your pick.)
So if my phone rings and I embark on a journey of 'where is the ring coming from', only to find my phone in the fridge, or if I miss an all important planning meeting that you told me about-in person-only one week prior, please understand. It is that time of year again. If it is not written on a Post-It and emblazoned across my kitchen cupboard, I will give you my only excuse. It is Mid-Terms. And my brain is full.
