I REMEMBERED NOT TO FORGET

I realized, sometime after having my third child, I can't rely on my absent mind to remember everything!  Well, really it was after my second but that's beside the point.  I used to be able to remember everything that was tucked away in the endless drawers of my little mind but now, I can't even remember certain words during a simple conversation.  After many missed appointments and birthdays of friends and family I realized that I need help.  Some of my friends would say it's of the professional kind!  I never used a calendar, or PDA or any of those electronic gadgets/software that's available to help keep your life organized.  I guess I thought I didn't need it.  But I realized there is so much that I do want to remember.  I want to remember all my family & friends birthdays.  I want to remember to send a card for a friend's anniversary.  I want to remember to buy a gift for friends having their first baby.  I want to remember to call my best friend to see how she's feeling.  Most of all, I want to remember all the things that are important to my family.  The doctors appointments.  The playdates.  The super hard science test.  Turners first everything.  Kayla's first everything as a teenager.  Everything about Kassidy that makes us smile.  I've been keeping a photo journal  (http://picasaweb.google.com/DivaMommy007), so to speak, for quite a while but as Turner gets older I decided to keep a written journal as well.  I know a picture is worth a thousand words but I don't want to miss all the thoughts & feelings that are behind those pictures. 
So I remembered not to forget and FINALLY finished our family blog!
