[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 132144, member: 1697"] I can be terrible clueless.....so I compensate by being pretty strict about certain things, like my keys and their clip? We have a very large calender in the most prominant place in the whole house. Threat of death to anyone who does not help make sure things get put on it, and to anyone who does not check it every morning....and every evening. It has hung there the kids whole lives and I have always made a very big production of checking it. without that calender, I would be SO lost. and I always put phone numbers for appts on that calender, too and directions or whatever. It is right at the junction of the hall where the bedrooms are and the point where kitchen spilts to one side and liv room splits to the other. The phone is there, and a pen on a rope. OK....so I am very rigid on New Years Day I transfer everything - like bdays or notes to make appts from one calender to the next. I always say if it is not on the calender, it ain't happening. So- this year, I dunno what happened, but...my son came to me a few days ago and asked me if I loved him? I said well gosh do you think I ask where you are every 5 minutes for no reason? He said well mom.....um.you decorated all the other special days on the calender this year with colored pencils, so creative, but...not MY birthday. AND mom? How old am I? Well, dude, you are 12 now and iwll be 13. why? Well mom? on our calender you wrote I will be 11!!!!!!!! Then his sisters decided they maybe better check THEIR bdays. YIKES! easy child will be 18, but I wrote she will be 17! I will be 48 (I think? LOL) but I wrote 52!!!!! YIKES! I did not even PUT an age for oldest difficult child! Oh my goodness. What in the world was I doing? Who knows? I wasn't drinking, LOL, so thats not the excuse. I finally grinned and said to the kids "well, it was a test, ya know? I wanted to see if any of you guys were paying attention. LOL [/QUOTE]
