Oh, sure. "That's not until the end of the month. What do you mean, that's next week?????"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also my calendar just informed me I'm on PTO today and tomorrow? I wonder what that was for. Not gonna happen, regardless.

I refused very early on to remember my husband's parents' birthdays. He can do that himself if he wants to. He is also responsible for Christmas shopping for his family (which means he places an Amazon order on Dec. 20, but that is his problem.)
But we've been talking about the Easter thing for a while. He saw his sister last Saturday and they talked about it. And he STILL didn't realize it was this weekend?
My irregular work schedule makes a lot of stuff really complicated, so I am always double and triple checking 2 calendars and still get screwed up sometimes. I put on holidays (federal + my work, which are not the same) and the kids' school calendars (OMG the complicated) a year in advance (or when they become available, whichever comes first).

Shit, I've ordered Christmas flowers for my grandmother on 12/23. They still get there!

Sometimes I do not understand your life, brenda. Scheduled PTO that you are not taking is incomprehensible to me.
We probably will close the office early today. After work I need to remember to go to the drugstore and also buy some coffee somewhere (probably not at the drugstore, I am too much of a coffee snob for that, although I am also lazy, so we'll see), I think that's all? I hope so.

I'm the scheduler for the family which is a job I resent most of the time. I keep three paper calendars and I'm trying to remember putting stuff in my phone.
That being said, today Grace's nurse isn't coming into work (death in her family and a funeral), the cable guy is coming to install cable, she has a brace fitting at 1:00 and I promised Noah we'd go bowling at 4. Complicated!

Our wings are not tired.
Scheduling with young children is a whole other level of complex. I was so grateful when they could drive, yes another level of horror, but freedom!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I would be a horrible wife and mother and or a really resentful and angry one, because I hate scheduling, I hate keeping track of other people, and I would really hate having to make a child do their homework. And probably everything would fall apart around me.

Even with calendars, I get lost. I've been expecting Patriot's Day for about three weeks now.

The homework thing is a world of suck. I have heard that some kids are self motivated, but I think it is a lie.
