Ugh. I missed an orthodontist appointment for Dorothy today and it made me realize that I do not have my shit together when it comes to orientation to dates and time. And plus also, I have too many balls in the air right now. It's almost FALL and going to the OFFICE time again, which means more balls. WHICH MEANS: time to get it together.

Today while Dorothy was at dance class (she is trying out for the dance team and now has FIVE CLASSES A WEEK until the end of summer), I spent an hour with my calendar and my planner, and I think I have a better idea of what is happening when. Also, I realized that I need to spend time with my planner AND digital calendar every night. Probably I should spend like 45 minutes with my computer after Minnie goes to bed-- something I am loathe to do-- because I get so little thinking time throughout the day.

Something else that is helping me: Lunchtime acupuncture:

Minnie explored her first blanket fort

She also loves to throw anything she can reach out the fridge-- so helpful

Ben is such a Harry Potter fan that he wears Harry Potter glasses while he reads to the kids.
