Most of you know that I delivered a piece of my brain with each child, and therefore, I can't remember anything.
Within the past two months, we have been late for two dentist appointments because I remembered them about 10 minutes before we were supposed to be there, and both times we were all in our pajamas. The clinic was kind, and when I called to see if I should re-schedule, they told us to hurry and come. They ALWAYS call with a reminder the day before, but alas, I still forget.
Todd had a dentist appointment this morning and I was bound and determined to remember it. And I did. (applause, please). When we went to bed last night I started to wonder if I was crazy because we hadn't gotten our reminder call and I was just sure he had an appointment today. I mentioned it to him as we fell asleep.
This morning, however, everything became clear when we got a wake-up call at 7:45 AM, reminding him of his appointment. I guess they don't trust us to remember overnight anymore.
It reminds me of the song by Miranda Lambert called "Famous in a Small Town". The chorus goes like this:
Every last one, route one, rural heart's got a story to tell
Every grandma, in-law, ex-girlfriend
Maybe knows you just a little too well
Whether you're late for church (or the dentist) or you're stuck in jail
Hey word's gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
I guess we've made a name for ourselves...
we're the people who can't get to the dentist on time.
