I wrote that subject line only because today isWednesday, and I'm in a bit of a bad mood for some reason, possibly hormonal, and then was suddenly full of curiosity as to what day I was born, because I had been told once upon a time that it was a Tuesday, but wasn't sure if that was correct. So I went to the calendar section of my Outlook and hit the back button* until I got to May of 1967 and lo and behold, I was born on a Wednesday.

Becoming thoroughly obsessed with this now, I Googled 'Monday's Child' to see if Wednesday's child was, indeed, full of woe and found this site wherein you put your date of birth and it tells you what you are, and then gives a nice little explanation to make one feel better about the fact one was born on the one day in the poem that has a negative word in it.

Charlie was born on a Friday. I know this, as I was there, but still had to put it in so I could see what the 'meaning' was. He is a joy to everyone around him. Well, duh.

And now I have completely forgotten the reason for starting this post in the first place.

I was born on a Friday too, but I'm far from being a joy all the time.

Interesting. Now I need to go find out what my birthday means.

I don't think that's right. According to Mombo, I was born on a Tuesday, and it keeps saying Wednesday.

I know Mombo can't be wrong.

See, that's funny because my mom told me I was born on a Tueday - were you born in the wee hours of the morning? Cause I was - I was born at 4am. So maybe our Mom's kept thinking it was Tuesday because they'd been up all night. Or something.

I was a scheduled cesarian for Tuesday morning. I was "born" (ripped from my mother's womb!) around 8am.

Yikes, that site has alot of pop-ups, computer didn't want to load the page there were so many. But it did eventually, and see that I was born on a Saturday. Both my girls were born on Saturdays, too.

That is an excellent plot bunny!

What a strange coincidence...I'd thought of this poem (rather out-of-the-blue) just last week, and went to look up the day I was born. I, too, am a Wednesday's child.

[livejournal.com profile] slammerkinbabe is a Saturday's child, which apparently means she "works hard for a living". Well, she does now, with the extra part time job. Poor girl.

I can't get the link to work. How did they go about turning "full of woe" into a positive attribute?

Apparently we Wednesday Children ...see the injustice and unfairness around you. You're the one who'll make a difference in your world

So go us!

(My user picture has nothing to do with this, but I just made it and wanted to use it.)

My mother always told me that Thursday's child "has far to go". I was born on a Thursday. I always took that negatively ("you're always far behind") but maybe it just means that I'm going places...

We used to recite this as kids-my brothers and I:

'Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child born on the Sabbath Day,
Is fair and wise and good and gay.


I was born on a saturday. That's about sodding right! I'm sure in a past life I helped build the pyramids-frelling work! No rest for this kitty,damnit!

I was born on a Tuesday...but I can't say that's particularly suitable. :)

I'm also Tuesday
and from what I know from another song, it's those born on Monday that have no luck, so all their 'fair of face' isn't worth much.
