My friends will gladly tell anyone willing to listen that, deep down, I am one of the biggest flakes they know. Happily, my momAgenda has almost completely cured this shameful defect in my personality. For the most part, I am able to successfully fulfill all my (and my kids') obligations, from school to work to social activities, without a hitch.
Until this weekend. That's right, my friends, for the first time in I-don't-know-how-long, I missed a birthday party. Not only that, I missed the birthday party of a kid that my son really likes. A birthday party he has been talking about for weeks. Let me tell you something, I wrote it in my momAgenda very diligently. Not only that, I saved the invitation in a safe place!
The breakdown occurred, sadly, because I DID NOT LOOK AT MY MOMAGENDA THAT DAY!
So my former mantra, which was "You have to write it down," now must be modified slightly, to "You have to write it down, AND you have to open your momAgenda every day, even on weekends and holidays!!"

Ooooh I can so relate to this one! I am diligent about writing things down--so much so that I never leave home without my MomAgenda. Even when we went on our Disney vacation last week, my momAgenda was carefully packed in my tote bag- ready, in case I needed anything. We got home last night and all I can say is that I must still be in vacation mode because although I had my momAgenda with me, I didn't feel the need to open it until I got home. Sadly, because of this, I missed an all important lunch date today with a dear friend I had not seen in a long time. Ironically, she had forgotten to write it down so she had no idea we missed our date! The great part about that is that she has a birthday coming up very soon....guess what she will be getting as a gift from me?!?! Anyway, I am adopting your mantra as well..."Open my momAgenda EVERYDAY".
