Yesterday I did a pretty amazingly mature thing, if I do say so myself. You have my permission to write comment after comment of affirmation after reading this post; we have already discussed my need for approval and for people to like me. . .

The next 90 days of our lives are going to be FULL. Besides the holidays, Honey traveling, and regular therapy/school stuff – there are other things I haven’t told you yet. I’ll post about it all this week, but for now suffice it to say it’s gonna be worthy of a contract with Daytimer. In light of the pending craziness, I sat down yesterday with my Google reader and had a heart to heart. I deleted 15 blogs from my reader – including Rocks in My Dryer. (Pause for you to catch your breath) I only have my personal friends still on my reader, my two Walgreen’s connections, the Thrifty Decor chick (because she says she is going to do this cool advent calendar and I don’t want to miss it), and the 100 day countdown to Christmas.

After doing this, posts to be read dropped from 57 to 24 in a blink. (For some reason, friends who haven’t blogged in MONTHS decided to catch up on the day I decided to cut back!)

Now, don’t be foolish and think I didn’t keep a list of all my favorite, yet now deleted, blog addresses. The plan is to revisit them after 90 days and see if I “need” to re-subscribe.

I feel so mature. I can feel my hair turning gray.

My friend Jawan linked to a post by Shannon about these precious magnets.  I was in Hobby Lobby later that day and picked up the stuff I would need to make each female bus driver and attendant on my kids’ bus routes a set of six magnets.  There are FIVE women between the two children (and I made some for myself) – so 40 magnets in all.
