How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I had a list. . .

in Uncategorized on 08/18/09

I am a great list maker. Lists keep me sane.
Got a deadline coming up? Make a list.
Feeling overwhelmed? Make a list.
Have a big decision to make? Make a list.
Been given a bunch of wonderful blog awards all at one? Make a list.

Trouble is I lost that last one. eek.

I am so sorry! I am a bad bloggy friend.

In no particular order and with huge hugs I would like to gratefully acknowledge:

Heather over at Theta Mom for awarding me the Inspirational Blog Award. She is so so sweet and I truly enjoy reading her blog. If you have not read Heather yet you need to jump on over there and tell her I said Hi!

Courtney over at The Kirkland Family for generously passing along the Honest Scrap award. Courtney is as Honest as they come and I adore reading about her day to day giggles and organizational challenges:)

The Mamas, Amy and Lady Di, over there at Daily Doses of Mama Drama for once again crowning me the Queen of Awesome. A true compliment coming from these two wise and witty women. Must read these two every day!

…and last but not least

From I hate Michigan!(Love that)atIf I Could Only Find the Words
Has awarded me the Superior Scribbler Award

Here are the rules: (and the one I will pay forward today b/c it’s the only one I did not lose the list for…um did I mention I’m having some blonde moments lately)

1. Each Superior Scribbler (SS) must pass the award on to 5 most-deserving bloggy buds.
2. Each SS must link to the author and name of blog from whom he/she has received the award
3. Each SS must display the award on his/her blog and link to this post which fully explains the award.4. Each blogger who wind must visit this post and add their name to the Mr. Linky list at the Scholastic-Scribe’s blog so we can keep track of all who wins this prestigious award!
5. Each SS must post these rules on their blog.

My 5 choices for this little baby will be:

Frugal Mom Knows Best
Green-Eyed Momster
Secret Mom Thoughts
Shabby Chics
Stacie’s Madness

If I missed passing along an award I’m truly sorry!
Mwah!

      ROFL! You are toooo sweet. I was actually going through my “list” of who to check in on today when I saw this. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog, and am so completely honored you passed it along to me. MMMMWWWWWWAAAAHHHH! I will get it up asap. I have a toddler trying to suffocate an infant and make it look like he is hugging her!

      I make lists too. I NEVER lose them though, my family members must move them around, cause I can’t always locate them. Really, it is not my fault. :0

      Congrats on the awards and on getting round to them – i’m terrible, i still have a meme or two that i’ve forgotten about, i think i need to start making lists, maybe that will make me more efficient

      Congrats on your award! I am terribly guilty about not getting mine up so I like when I see other people haven’t done it in a timely fashion either. šŸ˜‰

      I love my daily list I create the night before on an index card. My sister mocks me, but I get to brain dump the night before and I feel so damn productive crossing off an item from my list.

      Lately, no list…too hot….

      Congrats on the award….I did the meme….

      I have postponed putting up my awards post forever and I feel terrible about that!
      Lists are great things, although the ones are right never get accompished! I’m so bad that way!
