They don't learn that we don't love them--they already KNOW we do. Instead, they learn that moms aren't perfect, even though we often wish we were. Better yet, they learn that they don't have to be perfect either.

I finally got a big white-board calendar and color-coded it for the kids with things like "library," "show & tell," "birthday snack," etc. <BR/><BR/>I still usually forget to look at it (even though it's right in front of me at the kitchen table) but they remember to check it, thankfully.<BR/><BR/>If they depended on me, we&#Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708683104926932654.post-68227489982630032892009-01-26T17:28:00.000-06:002009-01-26T17:28:00.000-06:00I've started forgetting the biggies lately, most r...I've started forgetting the biggies lately, most recently the big GT testing just this past thursday. I'm going to pay, though, in spades, because of the hoops we are going to have to go through to actually get the testing at this point, so maybe that'll help me remember.

But she's doing great and we spent quality time all weekend so i guess i'm not doing too bad a job. Most obvious observation on my part is that her appointments must go on my work calendar like every other meeting. Still feeling a bit dumb I didn't think of that before. 2nd observation, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
