"Beware the ides of March." Sure the day didn't turn out too well for old Julius and it was life-changing for Mrs. Julius and Julius Jr, but that isn't the day that I am wary of.
This is the date I dislike, fear and worry about the most...March 31st. Turning off the phone and staying in bed with the covers over my head would suit me just fine. I just don't like March 31st. This is my life-changing date.
March 31, 1991 - I went into labor with my daughter in the predawn hours. (She was born the next day!)
March 31, 1998 - My divorce was final.
March 31, 2008 - My mother passed away.
So when my husband announced last week that his hernia surgery was scheduled for today, it did not make me happy. Not that surgery on any day would please me, but March 31st? Really?
