It is a beautiful life, but it is also a very cluttered life.
It is so difficult to keep track of everything. Just keeping track of the homework and things the kids need for school and activities is enough to make my mind completely cluttered and crazy. Time is always of the essence and I am always in a mad rush to get out the door in the morning and then in a mad rush the moment I am in the door in the evening to get everything done. As I am sure, you are too!
Apparently, Zachary's class had 'Crazy Hat Day' and I completely forget to have him pack his hat. Jayden's preschool has a letter of the week, and every Thursday he has to bring a picture of something that starts with the letter. Well, every Wednesday night I am trying to remember what letter they are on and trying to find something that fits that letter. Half the time, he is already in bed while I am doing this. These are small things, but when you add 50 of these small things times 3 kids it is a challenge to make sure everyone has what they need for their day. Then when I forget about 'Crazy Hat Day' or send a giraffe picture for letter 'H' week, I feel so bad. I mean seriously bad, I mean abnormally bad. I just picture my child as the only child with out a Crazy Hat and the teacher trying to explain to the kids that Giraffe does not start with 'H'.
Add in my responsibilities at work, which my mind is always on, and it is a recipe for disaster.
I have decided that I can't rely on my brain anymore to try to keep track of everything. I am getting an Iphone and I am going to be scheduling everything on that thing.

Good!!!! Then you can teach me how to do it!!! But mine will remind me of things like: You have a luncheon at 3, a nail appointment at 2, you are out of wine and stuff like that! oxoxox
Yay! iphones are the BEST. Mine reminds me of everything too! I've just come to the conclusion that if I think of something that I have to do and don't put it in my phone I will forget about it and it won't get done. I have literally showered with my phone because that's like the only time I get to myself and the only time I can go over the days events and future events (in my head.) I've literally grabbed my phone and put in whatever I needed to do while in the shower.. I know it sounds extreme, but when you have a lot to do and remember... it just helps!!
I am all for that. I can watch baseball while I play golf.
Just tell Siri to do it. I am getting an iPad with Siri so that I can get organized, but maybe it is too late in life for that. I now have to have beepers on everything to find them. Phone, iPod, remotes, keys. Then I have to find the transmitter to find the device. You are right life is too cluttered and I only have myself and Jim. I know I am rambling, but that comes from clutter and disorganization. I have to watch "Hoarders" to feel good about my organization plan.
