A note on my hand, that should work. Right?
At some point this morning while dropping kids off at school I wrote a note to myself on my hand. I try not to do that because it isn't the greatest look to sport, plus I don't want my kids to start drawing on themselves (more). But during kid dropoff I resort to it because it is such a crazy time anyway.
So this morning there was something I needed to remind myself of and I wrote on my hand. I wrote "DATE." And that's all. And I remember thinking at the time that of course I would remember what that meant. I mean, it is so obvious, right?
Hmm, no. Around 10am I noticed the note there and thought to myself "What the fuck is this??" And went on with the rest of my day.
I instant messaged Craig that I needed him to talk to Mike's kindergarten teacher at pickup today. He has his first field trip the week after Thanksgiving, and I filled out the permission slip this morning. I wasn't quite sure of today's date, so I just entered "11/ /07" next to my signature. But oops, I forgot to fill it in!
Craig said he'd make sure he finished the form at pickup, and crisis averted. I didn't give it a second thought until later when I was in the car and saw my hand on the steering wheel.
"DATE"
I didn't even remember that's what the note was for when I was doing what I had wanted to remember in the first place! I think I need some sort of brain transplant.
just maybe leave a little more info?
If you find a reliable doctor offering brain transplants, please let me know. I could use one myself.
That was too funny. I am so not good with code reminders. Never understood how that whole string around the finger worked…I've started programming notes into my alarm clock on my cell phone - like
1:00pm Food donation drop off!
1:30 pm - Spanish homework
9:30pm - library
How exciting am I. Thankfully I don't need Martini Night reminders.
sounds like you're suffering from a bad case of busy-mommy-brain…i got that too! :)
Multi-tasking is overrated. This is just a sign that you are doing too much. Yeah, right, like I needed to tell you that?
I am a stay at home mom with 4 kids. I have decided that My husband needs a second job so that I can afford a personal secretary!!
LOL that is so something I would do too!

Holy crap.
Oh Christina, there's no shame at all. And good for you for deciding to fight for your marriage.
OK, we're all meeting Laura at pickup today and we're going to kick ass and take names.
Amen.
Loralee is at the hospital with a major kidney infection. Hustle over and tell her something funny.
Perfect! I couldn't have said it better myself.
YAY Simone!!
Sounds heavenly, but I'm left wondering what in the world is a "Teutonic spank?"
Congrats! (And I totally better be in that 20 or I'm going to cut you at BlogHer!)
