Yes- truly I am a very pathetic person. I do really have three planners and I bought them all due to the memory problem. How do I manage all three of them. Every day first thing in the morning I sit down and make sure they al are in sync together. If I get a new appointment I write it down in all three- at once. One is for my purse, one for the kitchen and one for the vehicle. Very pathtic... Yes.

Scrapbooking I absolutely love. I haven't felt like doing it in over 6 months. I hope this weekend I will be able to do it but we have a lot scheduled so it looks like I won't be able to do it until next week.

I've taken a few scrapbooking classes. The scrapbook store here has on-going classes, etc. and you can scrapbook in their store daily if you sign up and there is space. I have never done it due to all the variorous doctor appointments and being so disorganized until recently. Now I have hope that next month I will be able to start up classes a few times a month and once a week (as a goal to get out of the house) scrapbook at the store.

I learned a lesson the hard way. I made our two boys scrapbooks about themselves when they were little. Stupidly- I put them out so anyone could view them. They had the slip in pages. What did our youngest son do? He took out the pages, ripped some apart, messed them all up and put them back in to make it appear he did nothing to the book. I just laughed. What else could I do. Now I never keep them out and have a closet that is very organized with all the supplies/etc. for scrapbooking. On a top shelf there is a place to store all of the scrapbooks- so the boys won't get into them again. However, occassionally I do find stickers stuck here and there now and then. So I have to go over the 'this is mom's stuff' talk.

One of my boys likes to scrapbook. He is the one that doesn't tear them apart. He will spend all day scrapbooking with me. He too, has ADHD- and focus problems. It really helps him keep focused and he will make a book in less than a day. He does really good work for a tween/boy.

Just to give you another good laugh (next to the fact I truly do have 3 planners)- after I poured coffee into my cup and went to put it away where did I go to put it? The fridge!!! Brain is not functioning up to par. Definitely! lol
