Shit My Kids Make - This is Probably Why I Miss Appointments

My kids stay with me three or four nights a week so to keep track of shit I have to do for them (like make lunches and bring them to lessons and then there's those sporadic feedings) I have a calendar on my fridge where I jot stuff down and then THEY IMMEDIATELY ERASE EVERYTHING I WRITE and replace it with shit like this:



Awesome.

Actually my kids are awesome. Both of them. YA.

I feel like I should call for oil now for some reason.

Moog out.

    Maybe Cam meant lotion not oil. Starting him early?

    I love this, although I would have gone stark raving mad if one of my kids had touched the insane calendar format I used (Each of the three kids was color-coded). This was in the Dark Ages before airplanes and electronic data systems.

    Kids are little weirdos, aren't they?

    And good fun.

    Your kids are awesome. Just like their dad of course.

    Now are you going to buy drinks or not on pay day?!

    Everyone needs oil, whether you need it or not. Your kids know this and now so do you.

    It's cute how they expect you to be still alive in 2066.

    And optimistic that you'll still be living in the same apartment.

    @ lifeintheboomerlane Lies!! They didn't have color way back then. I know this for a fact; just watch any old tv or movie from then. /nod

    Christina: GAH!

    Life: You sound very well organized. And by that I mean, 'afflicted with OCD.'

    Pearl: Sure. Whatever you say.

    Absence: They get their awesomeness from me. Obviously.

    Mike: *guilty foot shuffle*

    Eva: Me too. Me. Too.

    Ed: Why? I'll be a sprite 98 and probably STILL looking way better than you. :)

    Sam: OR sound. You forgot that.

    I know how you feel. Pretty lucky.
    One of the best things about my kids (besides the fact they don't look like me all that much. This is a good thing from their perspective) is that they own a sense of humor remarkably like my own.
    In essence, Mrs. Penwasser is surrounded by me and my two teenaged comedy clones.

    I think it's awesome that you take your kids so often. Kids need their father in their lives. I commend you for that. In all seriousness, that is great.

    -->I used to do this to my college roommate's calendars but would list things like "give Deb $20" and "have personal time alone. (wink) (wink)"

    If I had a calendar like that my husband would write in SEX appointments every night.
