You know what I'm doing this year for like the first time EVER in my life? Religiously using a calendar. I bought a small planner that shows one week at a time (on 2 pages), and I am totally anal about updating my calendar with everything as soon as I get calendars from school, church, activities, etc. I write every little thing on there, and then I actually CHECK my calendar several times a day to see what I need to remember and what's on tap for tomorrow. Yes, I know it's a little lame of me to be telling you that you might want to consider using a calendar. LOL. But as a non-calendar-user-who-often-forgot-things-like-parent-teacher-conferences-and-when-it-was-my-turn-to-bring-snack-to-the-soccer-game, I feel like I must share with you that this very simple thing has made a world of difference in our lives this year. I don't have to worry about remembering anything and I never have that funny "am I forgetting something?" feeling that I used to have. If I look at my calendar and it's blank, I know I can relax. <BR/><BR/>This Saturday is actually my day to bring snacks for the soccer team, so I'm putting that on my grocery list for tomorrow and I won't have to try to run into the grocery store on my way to the game like the Old Renee (from a few months ago, lol) would do. This has been life-changing. <BR/><BR/>-The ReneeReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499654224747325024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-81686712108700275802008-04-24T14:17:00.000-04:002008-04-24T14:17:00.000-04:00Big Kid sounds like my 4 year old.

She never did, but I STILL think it would work. Little buggers would just never be able to get out until you unrolled them. And if they get to be too loud, you just stand the rolled-up rug in the closet. Ashley's Closet. Cool, huh?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-54216762367266009982008-04-23T10:39:00.000-04:002008-04-23T10:39:00.000-04:00I hate that!
