LOST!

My calendar is LOST! I'm freaking out! If I miss something, I am not responsible, I have lost my companion and friend. It took me a long time to find this calendar, I am something of a plannerphobic. I would buy a new planner in November or February, just because my old one did not work for me. I eventually came to the conclusion, that it was not said planners fault, but perhaps, the plann-e (that would be me).
Then you have the whole, school year calendar, the new year calendar or the 17 month calendar (my personal favorite). So I finally found one at Lifeway that I LOVE! It is a spiral Christian mom's plan-it. Then there is the type of calendar: wall, spiral, desk, page-a-day, binders, zippers, locks, tags and barrels - sorry I got carried away. There are alot of choices when choosing a calendar - it is a very big thing!
I got the kids' newsletters from school yesterday and I've since been searching for my planner to input all of the things that are going on for them on it. Lost, lost, lost. Ode to a planner:
I've looked by my toothbrush
and by my phone
oh planner dear, I am so alone.

I looked in the kitchen
and even the freezer
I am such a neurotic pleaser.

I looked in the couch cushions
and under the chair
Are you hiding from me - you better not dare!

It is my mission to find you
because I have to,
It is 10:35 and Thursday and I have no idea what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Allison, I totally understand. My kids used to call mine "mom's leather brain". They knew there was no point asking about something until mom had her "leather brain" in hand and could look at it. I will pray for you now that your frustration would end and He would reveal to you where it is!

Oh I can totally sympathize!!! Did you look in your car - under the seats - in your nightstand? Oh - I know just how you feel! I'm a recovering calendar-holic myself. I have several!!!! I finally resorted to my computer outlook and print up a monthly calendar and carry it with me. I have in the past had every calendar you described in your post. The only one I haven't parted with (which I don't even use) is the Franklin Covey BOOK thing I had when I worked at Tech. It just seems like I should be using it when they cost so much - but alas - it is up in the closet - I think the last year in it is 2005!

Yes, I've looked in my car and realized that I seriously need to vacuum! Under the bed, I realized there are some dust bunnies - sweep. I will hopefully be posting a pictorial of my found calendar when I do find it, it's hiding place and the rookie calendars that got cut during training camp.

I just thought you needed one of these comments, too:
Sorry! Can't relate. Fly by the seat of my pants---and forget where I'm supposed to be when.

I will pray that you find your brain. Maybe you could mop your floor and it will come back to you.

You are so funny! I understand VERY well. I don't want to get your hopes up too high, but I think there is a planner in the lost and found at church. You might want to check there.

"Hi, my name is Allison."

"Hi Allison!"

"And I've been without my planner for 24 hours..."

You crack me up!! I think that they need to make a planner for all of us "I" personality's out there...For the people who love the idea of planning, but can never stop talking or running around to do it...!! I love the idea of planner, but I just have pink sticky notes stuck everywhere....Christmas time looks like we hung new wallpaper in the kitchen..hehe!!
