Thanks for all your comments yesterday.  I do have phone alarms and they help about 80% of the time– that’s why I took my kids to piano on the wrong day.  The week before the teacher switched them to Tuesday because she was going to be out of town on Thursday– I guess I accidentally switched that event permanently instead of for just one week.  Sometimes my phone is just out of earshot, or I have to nurse a baby and totally space something in the 20 minutes between my phone alarming and the time I have to go.  Oh well.  I won’t have a baby forever and I certainly don’t want to wish her to grow up.

I have this mantra and repeat it to myself often:

BE CONTENT AND REACH

Be content with where and what I am.  Reach to be better.

Now I’m just wishing I were Mrs. Weasley and could clean up my house and make dinner with the stroke of my wand.  Those Star Wars battlers up there sure are cute, but they really make a mess!
