• Humble Pie

  Today I need to make a public apology to my brother.  (nevermind that he doesn't read this blog).  When we were younger I was the annoyed older sister, bugging him about appointments and being responsible about his own stuff.   For example, he'd often have no idea about an upcoming test, deadline, game, dentist appointment etc etc.  And I would (as the "responsible one") comment, bug, nag, encourage him to get himself together so that he wouldn't need us to be his personal secretary.  But for some reason as we grew older that has seemed to switch.  He seems to have been getting mre responsible and me ... less so.  I first noticed it in in law school... I wouldn't pay much attention to the stuff going on around me that needed to be filled out, submitted scheduled etc etc.  But I had several friends in law school that helped me through that chaos.  But then my life got more boring with work, less activity but more deadlines.  These deadlines were taken care of by our office with reminders and plenty of other people thinking about the deadlines too, so I apparently got stupider.  All this to culminate in my missing a critical appointment on my path to being adopted by these United States.  So.  *deep breath* My brother gets a huge giant PASS from me. 

  also, here's hoping that the USCIS is very forgiving.
