Sometimes I just don't have my life together. Saturday night, as I was trying to catch up on blog-reading, I came across Natelli's post about Father's Day. I looked on the wall at the handy-dandy calendar and noticed that June 15th (the next morning) was, in fact, Father's Day. Ah, crap!
I asked Ian, "Did you know that tomorrow was Father's Day?" He did. Of course. So I am a complete loser. What possible recourse do I have at 11:30pm the night before? None. He gallantly said, "I was hoping that you didn't do anything for me...I don't need anything." Thanks for the effort, honey, but now I feel worse!
I've dropped the proverbial ball with a very loud thud. I don't think I used to drop balls. In fact if I remember correctly (fat chance, right?) I used to be able to juggle many balls at once. It seems those days are over. So here's a plea sent out into blog-land. Please feel free to remind me of any and all holidays or special occasions you feel I should be made aware of because odds are I'm clueless. Please help!

oh no! I think we should give each other reminders of important things like this ( I guess I sort of did, right?)
I tell ya, Amy -- it is that blasted sleep deprivation again. :)

You ARE juggling balls...3 of them! They're called kids! Your blog is the 3rd one I've read today about forgetting father's day...so don't feel too bad!
Oh dear! That's a terrible feeling, isn't it? I remembered Father's Day but have forgotten several family birthdays recently.
Let me know if you find any magical solutions for a fading memory of a frazzled mother. I could use some help...
If you set up a Google calendar (you can do it with your Blogger username & password) it gives you the option of getting email reminders, and it lets you choose how far in advance. It rocks!
Oh Amy, I love ya! I am sorry, it is never fun when you forget things for sure! I hope that he is as forgiving as he sounds. We are always hardest on ourselves right?
I had to laugh out loud at the comic. That is totally ME! I forget everything! I even put things on my google calendar, like dentist appointments, which I have missed 3 of.. yikes. Make another appt. for Connor for tomorrow, we'll see if I can remember. You are so not alone!
