If they are an all day event which is the default, they won't show up on a today screen. The today screen only shows timed events. To get them to show up, once the calendar creates the event, change it from all day to say 7am-7:30am. This will put it on the today screen until after 7:30am. It is not a perfect solution but works. I use this to put in when my wife and I get paid.
