Full Time Mum

I picked up Jacob from Nursery yesterday to hear him tell me all about the Harvest Festival Assembly that he'd attended; rather guiltily I remembered that all parents had been invited to this and although I'd put it on the calendar, I'd forgotten about it on the day. I'd also forgotten to take in any tinned goods for distribution to the needy of Acomb. This follows on from forgetting all about the coffee afternoon for the parents of prospective school pupils on the Wednesday afternoon. They were all on the kitchen calendar, I just forgot to do anything about them.

However, having spoken to my neighbour and fellow parent, Rachel, I now feel less guilty about my utter crapness. According to Rachel, even though her oldest child is now in Year 2, she has only now got her head round the endless onslaught of school activities.

Anyway, I must get my act together; its not like I've got a job or any other valid excuse for failing to remember these things. So, I shall remember that its the Opening of the new Children's Centre on Friday afternoon and that there are two AGMs for playgroup/school the week after; one of the AGMs is followed by a Body Shop party, which might focus my mind somewhat.
