In reply to McMom. I'm good at remembering chore-type things because they are routine. I can't always do it all b/c I have too much to do. I can NOT remember anything out of routine, such as when cub scout activities are, when staff app. week is, which is a big deal for me, and play dates. Also, I have trouble remembering to check the calendar.....ha

Oh yeah, I meant to add – if you are out somewhere and someone wants to make a date, just tell them to email you. Then, you don’t have to worry about recording it on your google calendar until you get home. Or, you could leave yourself a voicemail on your home machine or something. That might help the non-smart phone issue.

To me, it kinda depends on the types of things you are forgetting. If it’s stuff around the house, like thawing something for dinner or doing laundry, maybe you could use an actual alarm clock in the kitchen (or somewhere central). You could get one that has at least 2 alarms on it, and keep a pad of paper beside it to jot down what you need to do when it rings. Maybe an old school idea? More new school idea: I have used google calendar on my computer (not my phone – I have a data plan but it is teensy) and I liked it. We used it at school and I had various calendars synced with different people and it all worked swimmingly. As much as you are able to get online, that might be a good option! You and Alan could share a calendar that way, (on his phone and your computer). It can also send you reminders if you want about something coming up. It is very user friendly. I can help you set it up if you had any questions. On a different note, I agree Alan is good with kids – as are you! Good thing, I guess! Ha!

In reply to Not Quite Crunchy Mommy. "I forgot" is unfortunately still an option for me...and I agree boys are definitely not more difficult by default. Thanks for stopping by!

My daughter is worse than any little boy I know… I swear. Boys aren’t more difficult by default! Oh, and I do use my cell phone for a lot, but I keep a schedule on the calender at home as well. Why? Because the paper calender never needs a recharge, never gets lost, never gets forgotten. It’s up there and in everyone’s face all day long. So “I forgot!” is not an option! 🙂

In reply to donna Stephens. I just click "copy" (I don't really know anything about the clipboard part). Then I go to wherever I need to paste it, and hold my finger down until that same menu pops up. Then I click 'paste".
