We Understand Completely

Once in a while we get an email that is so funny and perfect, we just have to share it with you. Our friend V. temporarily lost her momAgenda day planner, and this is the email she sent to friends... I just LOVE IT...

In a stunning lapse of judgement triggered by the cumulative effects of poor sleep, juggling work/kids, recovering from food poisoning (lame excuse as that took place on Sun), and the get the kids to school rush, I very stupidly put my lunch and my calendar on the hood of my car this morning. The lunch made it into the car but the calendar, the half of my brain that I have on paper, didn't.

I'm just sick about this. I KNEW when I bought that "Mom's Agenda" calendar not to get attached. The little voice in my head sneered "don't rely on this, you're gonna lose it....". But no, I ignored that little devil and bought the $26 marvel instead. It had loads of space to write in, much more than the little puny calendars with tiny little squares I had until now. This one had BIG spaces for ME and the KIDS and even a spot for the weekly meal plan. I leaned on that calendar more than I lean on most people. Beckoning me with those big blank pages..."don't store that info in your brain, give it to me, I'll keep it all safe and organized for you". I trusted it with everything! My appointments, travel plans, book club meetings, school events. It contained my vacation plans, work engagements, it even knew all my doctors names, hair dresser, that chicks name who does my eyebrows that I just can't remember. It even has a place for my hopes and dreams, future vacations, party info, movies to watch, music and books to buy, it's all in there.

So, if anybody finds my brown "Mom's Agenda" calendar PLEASE, PLEASE (I don't care HOW battered it is) let me know!!!!

This is semi tongue in cheek, I'm not crazy, but I'm really upset that I lost this calendar!

Thanks,

driving slowly around the neighboorhood, looking for the calendar,

V
