This is OT but what are you supposed to do if you don't get a census form? I got a letter telling me I'd be getting one in a week, two weeks ago, but I have yet to get the form. Is there somewhere online you can go to submit the information if you don't get the form?
Unfortunately you can't fill out the form online yet, the website says it's looking into that option in the future. I wish you could to. I keep forgetting to fill mine out and mail it. I've gotten one warning letter already. Can they really prosecute you for not returning your form?

Anyways, here's the website, maybe you can request they mail you a new form if you haven't gotten one already.

Oh gosh, I have trouble remembering my birthday when someone asks me, let alone my 3 kids. Then they have to go ahead and ask my husband's birthday too, just to see me stutter some more.

Mom brain, ain't that the truth?

DOB? Heck, I'd be happy to get their names right on the first try! When talking to one of them, I often end up going through the possibilities....I have even started getting the dog's name in the mix...

That's funny. I used to remember every birthday of grandparents, parents, sisters, brothers, friends, acquaintences but these days, I'm lucky when I can remember my own.

I used to laugh at my grandma for blending my sister's and my name together, it sounded like Ma-hairy! Now I do the same thing with my kids! It doesn't sound quite as good as Ma-hairy so I just tell them "you know who you are"!

I haven't mixed the dog in there yet but give me time and I'm sure I will!

Yeah....well, I have a boy and a girl....my son gets a bit irritated to be called by his sister's name (or the dog's name since she is a girl too..."Macie" is the dog btw)....I know who I'm talking about but what I know and what comes out of my mouth are sometimes not the same...

This is when having only one kid comes in handy

Although just last night my son pointed out I sometimes get his name and my husband's mixed up. I haven't mixed him up with the dog yet though!

When I was young, my grandmother used to stand on the porch and call for my brother when she was over. ALWAYS she called the names of my uncles and only my brother's when we smart girls reminded her who it was she wanted at the moment.

I couldn't figure out why she seemed so confused. HA, Now I know.

Thanks to those who have similar problems, misery loves company and all!
That could easily be the culprit! All of mine came 2-3 weeks before due date and 2 of the 4 arrived in the month before they were due too so I know how that goes. lol
