What I discovered today has me even more excited than half-price wine Tuesdays.  

A little background.  I am SOOOO OVER being my family’s secretary.  I don’t mind keeping our calendar in my computer and transferring it weekly to our white board. What exhausts me is that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON in this house bothers to look at it. So I spend my time following them around and reminding them that they have lacrosse practice or we have dinner plans or today is indeed my birthday as it clearly states on the white board.  

This morning as I was browsing articles on parenting, I came across this, begin drumroll, imagine fireworks going off, marching bands playing, your husband and children applauding you, here goes...GREATEST CALENDAR TOOL EVER!!!

It is fantastic!  It allows you to set up each person in your family.  It color codes them and are you ready for this??????  IT TEXTS THEM!  It sends each person a reminder for every event they have on the calendar.  You can choose the time, 30 minutes before, one hour, one day whatever your preference.  It texts them, I’m not kidding.  I can barely stand myself right now.  I feel like doing something crazy like skydiving or streaking the quad.

Now I just have to figure out how to get KeenanKeenan aka: Kman
Age: 14
"Special" Qualities: Door slamming, stomping and eye rolling (can do it all in one impressive motion).
Best Qualities: The softest kindest heart, hysterical and quite charming when he tries. opted back in.  Apparently he decided the message that read, “Your mom has sent you a calendar text.  To opt in press A” was spam and rejected it.  This from a kid that receives texts stating, “Your head will explode in 30 seconds if you don’t send this text to everyone in your address book,” and he does it.  Seriously, why does he have to make everything so hard for me?
