Panda Academy: Where Teacher is Spelled M-O-M-M-Y
• Oct. 1, 2008 - Why It's Important to Have a Visible Calendar
At ds' request, I bought one of those classroom calendar centers and stuck it to the china closet in our living room. However, he hasn't kept up with it, despite my nagging.
Our main calendar just got taken off the kitchen wall in order to make room for the "big green thing" (bureau-bookcase combo) that got taken out of son's room and now happily holds a ton of kitchen stuff.
Son's calendar got taken off the hallway wall to make room for the bulletin board - another victim of the "big green thing" move.
I swear to goodness that all this past month (Sept.) my husband and son have told me that my birthday is on Friday. Dh made a point of asking off from both jobs. Again, a big deal since he's usually working at the theatre on Friday, a busy night.
Last night, I got sucked into season 2 of 90210. Brian Austin Green grew up *very* well and is now looking mighty fine in Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles, so I just had to go buy season 1 and then season 2 of 90210, which I used to watch as a teenager but missed a good number of years.
So anyway, 8 am. rolls around and I'm still awake so I go to wake up dh for work. Half an hour later, I wake him up again and the conversation goes something like this:
"Honey, you're going to be late for work. You have to get up now!"
"No, I don't. It's your birthday. I took off work."
"No, it's not. My birthday is on Friday."
"No, it's today."
"It's still September. My birthday's on Friday. You and K. have been telling me it's on a Friday."
"Look at a calendar."
"We don't have any calendars up!"
I go and check the TV and computer. And guess what? It is my birthday. LOL! I haven't had any sleep because of the above insomnia DVD fest. Ds was up all night playing video games and he's asleep. Dh went back to bed. And it doesn't feel at all like my birthday because it wasn't supposed to be until Friday!
So, please, once again, use my crazy life as a lesson and go out and get a calendar and put it up in a visible area. LOL!
