I just bought a new wall calendar that is perfect for my family. We have so much scheduled, and everyone has their own stuff to remember, but none of us can apparently do it without losing parts of our souls. It’s grisly.
I finally thought I’d just slap an ugly calendar on the wall and see what happens. The three different Franklin Planners, spiral bound calendars, generic planners, electronic organizers, homeschool-specific systems, the computer…none of them work for our family.
I’ve tried them all.
Not this one. I haven’t tried the ear plug calendar yet, though all it will tell me is the last day I remembered to move the plugs.
Well, more like I buy them all and then don’t get around to implementation.
Because we’re so busy. And I’m disorganized.
So, we have post-its, random notebooks full of jotted down info, receipts with important scratches on their backs, lists about the list of lists. Pages of notes about the lists. Piles and piles of papers, some of which might be important. This has been a successful system so far, but I’m sort of stressed out.
There are people in the piles.
Don’t judge; it’s not nice.
But alas!! Amazon, my love, showed me a sweet $5 solution. It was so seductively presented, with a picture, description, product number, and everything… Amazon overplayed its hand and should be familiar with my slutty shopping ways by now. All they really needed was to post a plain old sans serif “Hey, we’re selling shit” and I would buy. I would also buy some of that delicious ambrosia as gifts for my friends, no less. I’m easy like that.
Amazon sends me covert messages that indicate it prefers a classier sort of clientele. I’m not buying THAT!
I pointed at my cart and told that calendar to get in.
“Get in there now!” I told it.
I bought that calendar but good.

It arrived on my doorstep with free super saver two day shipping, and I was all twitchy with excitement. I couldn’t wait to get all of our activities, classes, appointments, whatevers, recorded. Organized.
WTF? My calendar, my precious, expired in June? But I bought it in August!

Amazon doesn’t even want me to return it. They told me to keep their trash and are giving me my money back with no questions.
Amazon sold me their recycling!
Good thing I just bought a new planner at Target. I think it’s going to be just the thing to help me get the family organized.
I paid full price, ‘cuz that’s what I do at Target. My new planner was just sitting there on the end cap. Asking for it.
