Happy (belated) Birthday!!

I missed The Middle Ground's first birthday.

I didn't mean to.

I knew it was coming.

It scratched at the back of my mind like a dog who is desperate to come inside from the cold.

I ignored it.

I thought, "I'll deal with that later."

I never did.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I missed it because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE birthdays of any kind.

So, The Middle Ground didn't get the fantastically wonderful first birthday blog post she (yes, my blog is female; what else did you expect?) deserved.

Oh, well.

Sometimes things like this happen.

That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.

I hope I'm better at remember my children's birthdays.

When I have children, that is.

When I have children a very long time from now, that is.

Surely I'll remember the birthday of my kids.

Although, one could argue that I created and gave birth to The Middle Ground.

Oh, dear.

At least The Middle Ground is just a blog, so she shouldn't suffer any major psychological trauma.

Right? Right?

Let's hope so.

So, here's to The Middle Ground and her first full year and one month as a blog.

Happy birthday. Here's to another year and one month together.

P.S. Next year, I'll do my best to remember your birthday on time. Besides, 2 is better than 1, right? I thought so, too.

P.P.S. I had to skip Sunday Snippets this week in honor of The Middle Ground's forgotten birthday. Sunday Snippets will resume next week. I know you were all on pins and needles about that one. :) ha.
