A write everything down, double check it to make sure we don&#8217;t have a conflict calendar.

I actually have a cool <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/2008-BusyBodyBook-Personal-Family-Organizer\/dp\/097447682X\/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1207753031&#038;sr=8-1\">Busy Body Book<\/a> Calendar with 5 columns to categorize everyone&#8217;s stuff, and it&#8217;s been quite helpful to manage our busy schedules.<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51pAVZ2Lr2L._SL500_BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-dp-500-arrow,TopRight,45,-64_OU01_AA240_SH20_.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s my tip:  When scheduling a play date or appointment for your child, write the phone number down when you write down the appointment.  For example, just this morning, Jenna&#8217;s little friend Hayley called and asked if she could play today after school.  Today doesn&#8217;t work, but we settled on tomorrow, and Jenna will go home with her and play.  As soon as I hung up the phone, I checked the caller ID and got Haley&#8217;s phone number and wrote it on the calendar with the info.  So, tomorrow when it&#8217;s time to pick her up, I already have the phone number right there, and I don&#8217;t have to go searching through phone lists or caller id to find it.  Pretty smart, right?  Thank you, Thank you.  I&#8217;ll be here all week!<\/p>\n<p>For more ideas and tips, visit Works for Me Wednesday at <a href=\"http:\/\/rocksinmydryer.typepad.com\/shannon\/\">Rocks in my Dryer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m one of those people who relies heavily on a calendar.
