It is fascinating how much a mom is expected to remember on a daily basis. It truly confounds me when I start making lists of all the tasks, appointments, and events I am expected to retain and manage. To help combat that, we have a big, well it's large, okay, it's actually a huge white board in the kitchen to manage all of our schedules. Well, that's really not correct, it's more for others to be aware they aren't the only person in the house who might have something going on. It falls to me to maintain the schedule and insure that everyone is where they need to be for whatever appointment, class, event or job they need to be at.
I know our brains have the capacity to organize things like this, but it is amazing to really think about how much data goes through our brains and how efficiently it is organized. Or at least, I hope mine is organized and efficient.
Ooops, it time to go....off again to another appointment. Did I write that down?
