Fill in the blank with applicable item. 

Typical response is usually something along the lines of, 'No, I cannot keep track of your things for you.  That is something you need to do."

Now, would a 'good mom' always have an answer to this question?  Probably not, or our children would never learn to be responsible for their own things.   But, do we somethimes feel as though we should be able to answer this question?  That is another issue.

My own lack of being able to find things is a frustration in and of iteself.  Now, add many little voices asking me where their things are.......and I can get a little stressed.

I think we once did a character study on 'self-government'.   No, actually, I think it was part of a history guide.  Hmmm.  Maybe we all need a refresher or a similar study on responsibility.

Any good ideas on this?

Can you share where I can get the Big Oven software? I sure need something like that so my meal planning gets a bit of updating from the old hand written method.
