Alright, so I hate to admit it, but Nate is the only one who blogs in our family. I pretend like it's me, but up until now, it's not. I've decided that all that is going to change, so here we go.
Yesterday I did something so uncharacteristically Diane, I feel like it's my duty to share it with the rest of you so you can enjoy. Last week I scheduled a French session with my Mom for Tuesday at 7. Great, one more that we can get out of the way! So then my Dad calls on Sunday to ask if the Cub scouts can come to my house for their activity instead of the church (they are learning to cook over fires, and I live 1 minute from the church. By doing it at my house, dad could use is portable fire pit and not have to leave it at the church overnight while it cool, instead it could just sit in my back yard. Plus it's more fun to cook around the woods, and my backyard backs up to the woods, but I'm getting off track). Of course I tell him yes, no problem, I'll be there. Then on Monday our friend calls to invite us to his wife's surprise party the next night, time TBD. We tell him of course, we love JinHee and will definitely be there (by now you should see where this is going). So I'm driving home from the store Tuesday night at about 5 and Nate calls. He asks if 7 will work for the surprise party and I say "Yes, of course, why wouldn't it" he mentions that I have french with mom and I'm like that doesn't matter....not making the connection. It takes a few seconds of his prompting and I realize that I've double booked. Then my dad calls, crap, I've triple booked. That's right, me the very organized control freak has not just double booked, but triple booked WITHOUT REALIZING IT!!! I still can't believe it! I cancel on my parents (dad doesn't need me there) and go to the party, but now I'm doubting myself. I've triple checked my schedule today to make sure I don't do it again. It's driving me crazy! Oh well, it happens to us all. It just re-emphasizes to me how important my calendering is!
Also, if you are reading this, let me know by saying hi. I'm interested to see how many people actually check our blog! (I'm vain, I admit, I will most likely write more if I know people are actually reading about me!) Well, that's it from me. I'll be back soon!
