Slacker Suggestion #3: I know I'm forgetting something ...

It's 8:15 am ... my son has to be to school by 8:30 and I've just remembered that I'm "snack mom" today. Crap. I can't believe I'm actually thinking "What kind of snack can you get for 30 pre-schoolers at 7-11 or the drive-thru of McDonalds?" This will definitely eliminate me from the running for the mother-of-the-year award.

It's come down to this for me: If it's not on my iPhone Gmail Calendar, it does not exist. So, in an effort to not shame my son on snack day (let's not even talk about show-and-tell day where I try to scavenge an "educational" item to share from the garbage rolling around in my trunk), I did a little research and found a nifty new gadget I thought I'd share: www.rememberthemilk.com

It's free. It works with my iPhone and Gmail calendar. It keeps me from looking like a loser most of the time. I have no investment in the company (except as a user). End of endorsement.

Now I'm thinking of sigining up my husband for the service so the alerts can enhance our communication (or, let's be real: serve as our primary means of communication).
