Super Mom?

I wish I was a super organized, "Type A" kind of mom. Does my desire to be this way count for something? I hope so. I finally started using a calendar last year, in hopes of keeping track of everything so I wouldn't forget about appointments, ball games, piano practices and the never ending early school dismissals and days off. But somehow I still manage to lose track of what's going on - I do look at the calendar, I really do. It must just not register in my mom brain. I finally bought a bunch of storage bins and went through all the kids clothes, separating and labeling them by size, hoping to make it easier to get ready for the new seasons and to sell the outgrown clothing online. But then the bins were placed in various places throughout the house and garage and I'm overwhelmed at the idea of dragging them all out and doing all the work that goes into listing clothing on ebay. I bought a dry erase board to write the various chores that my older boys are required to do each day so they can easily see what they're suppose to do when they get home from school. But I only seem to remember to write on that board about once a week, even though I walk past it over and over throughout the day. My closets need organized, stuff needs gathered to go to Goodwill, the junk drawers need a good cleaning, the socks with no match that reside in my hutch drawer need to either find a mate or find the trash, my pictures need to be uploaded, printed and put into albums, and let's not even talk about the junk being stored under my bed that needs a real home. I need a system for keeping track of all the papers my kids bring home from school, some that needs returned with my signature which I usually find a week later. I need a system for saving important documents like birth certificates, vehicle titles and loan papers. I need a system for couponing and planning menus and grocery lists. And there's probably many more "systems" and organizational ideas that I don't even think of. However, I just wasn't born with this type of DNA and have little hope of ever really becoming Mrs Organization. My kids are clean, fed, healthy and happy. So I guess that's good enough for me at this point. I probably won't be nominated for mother of the year, but I am who I am - an unorganized, forgetful, sometimes messy, loving mom!
