One day! One! Of trading my flip-flops for closed shoes and BAM! fall has arrived. I’d like to be able to say how our family has a color-coordinated calendar with all the extracurricular activities listed, the meetings and playdates highlighted and marked well in advance, but that would be a huge lie. In fact, I’ve just about blown it twice this week.
My daughter’s weekly religion class and Girl Scout meetings started this week and she had to remind me of both. Yes, they were on the calendar (in Outlook, in my PDA, just not in my brain) but when the days actually rolled around I was, as she said, clueless.
If there were a way to synch my brain with Outlook I’d do it, just stick the USB plug in my ear and I’d be ready to go.
I need to know how other working moms are keeping organized. Friends, family and co-workers are constantly exclaiming over my apparent organization but my kids will tell you, it’s a delicate façade.
