31 Days of Free Writes: Remember

I have a horrible memory sometimes, especially lately. For the first time in six years, I forgot a work meeting last month. Its another reason I use my google calendar so much. If I don't put something on the calendar, I usually don't remember easily.

This for me has been a difficult thing to get used to. My memory was pretty good before children. Its one of the things they must have sucked from me. Either that or I have so many memories of them that I no longer have the space for mundane things like appointments or schedules.

I'm okay with having to use the calendar to remember the doctor's appointments or the parent teacher conferences, as long as I remember the things that are important to my girls. There are things I never want to forget, like the days each of them joined my life.

I saw this comic on facebook last week:

I hope as my girls grow, they remember that I was there.
