I'd return the greeting and ask what was up. She'd say, "Well, we're all sitting here at your team meeting."

Realizing that kids don't want to spend their lives melting down and anxious and facing surgeries and wearing corrective equipment--this is their childhood! Even when we are tired and cranky, one of us tries to find a happy moment/something to do/something to celebrate. Finding joy in the small things makes you so much more appreciative in life.Amy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-72478157292048637402012-03-04T17:04:05.231-05:002012-03-04T17:04:05.231-05:00I tried the wall calendar--it's perfect for mu...I tried the wall calendar--it's perfect for multiple appointments!--but I don't have the right spot for it.

Yes, this life drives me INSANE, and my heart aches often for these boys, but to wish it away would mean to wish away their lives--and mine. :(<br /><br />I need to use my phone as back up.

Personally, I blame the little people, we're juggling to much! I admit my blackberry has helped a bit; but that is always lost with my keys somewhere. So I will keep on standing up people for lunch, scrambling for the right paperwork, running permission slips to school at the last minute; cuz that's how I roll.Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871517399157141234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-82197138338401983762012-03-03T23:42:13.746-05:002012-03-03T23:42:13.746-05:00Maybe one of the reasons time seems to slip by so ...Maybe one of the reasons time seems to slip by so quickly is because you're having so much fun- both at home and with blogging :)<br /><br />Time does fly, doesn't it?

I have two boys two, 6 and 8, and everything, messy or not, is scrawled on a big paper wall calendar. Nothing would get recorded if I had to open up my ipad calendar and go through more than one step of my hand scrawl!Sandra Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191775335774130719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-41342453460561366442012-03-03T10:33:59.400-05:002012-03-03T10:33:59.400-05:00As you are trying to survive one day at a time the...As you are trying to survive one day at a time there in the chaotic cave, every now and then remind yourself how utterly and ridiculously and quickly this past year was history.<br />Time stands still for no woman. <br />(don't spread this around, but I'm a paper calender girl, too.) I keep mine on my desk and as I make or am informed of appointments, I jot them down. For back-up, I put them on my phone.)<br /><br />works for me! ♥<br /><br />Hugs to the Chaotic Cave inhabitants!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.com
