it is my mother's birthday today.
i woke up this morning with a note under my door that said, "don't forget about mom's birthday!"
because we have a tradition regarding birthdays.
we all race to call the night before, preferably as close to midnight as possible.
sometimes, i am first. sometimes, we call someone else in the hopes of distracting them so they are unable to call the birthday person. sometimes, we call ten minutes before and stay on the phone with each other until midnight.
last night, i dropped the ball. i went to bed at 11:30p, exhausted. i called my mother this morning, at 7:30am. i woke her up. happy birthday wishes. and she told me that i was the last one.
sad. i really, really hate losing.
