"mommy, I have a ten page report due tomorrow." "Mommy, I have to bring in cupcakes today." "mommy, I forgot to tell you that.....

She drives me crazy with this. At 14, I would expect her to plan ahead just a little bit. I don't even turn the computer on in the morning before driving her to school. We've instituted a new rule...she must let us know by 2030 if she needs us to print something. I'll have to get a new printer cable and ink cartridge for her printer this weekend (that would solve the problem all together!)!
