Ok so I know I'm a crazy planner, and probably go overboard and need to learn to be more flexible, but I just can't help it. And this brings me to something that drives me absolutely crazy about my family. Trying to find a time to celebrate birthdays really shouldn't be this hard. Every birthday celebration gets moved, no one ever knows anything about it, and it's always changing. Here is the progression through celebrating my brother's 19th birthday.
Monday - was going to go home for a birthday dinner. Cancelled. He had to go out of town for work.
Saturday - I made plans with my friends, knowing I'd probably go home for dinner. No. Parents have access to a boat all day. Well I'm not missing that, so sorry friends. Then maybe we'll celebrate on Sunday.
Friday - I made plans with my friends, and already possess a movie ticket for tonight. No. The birthday boy is going to a concert Saturday so we need to celebrate tonight.
Ahhhh. I'm obviously not going to miss celebrating his birthday with him, but come on people. You're killing me. We need some better communication now that we're all living in different cities.
