I laughed out loud several times while reading your list... I must be learning the same things.
Great lessons! I've learned a few of those myself.
"I'm learning that in order to be a better writer you actually need to keep writing, not just think about it all the time."
That's the kicker, isn't it! :)
Natalie and Susan: Glad to see I'm not alone.
LW: It's definitely the kicker. You can think about all you want, but you really need to put the work in.
Those are awesome lessons! I laughed a lot reading this, but kept nodding my heading, thinking, "This is SO true!!"
I was going to pick out my favorite but I love them all!
Mine is still young enough that he doesn't know what comes after 3...so he panics at 2.
Heidi: I had started to count when my kids were fighting and my oldest son says "What are you counting to?" I laughed so hard I actually stopped being mad.
Jessie: My kids are starting to expect me to count to 10.
There are all so very true!
Patti - that comment about what number you were counting to was so funny I nearly spit out my coffee laughing!!!
True, all. I actually planned my meals this week and spent way less on groceries which made me really happy!
Laura: very true
Heidi: I still laugh whenever he does it, ,
Candi: It really helps . I find I spend less money and time on preparation.
I've learned so many of the same things. Life is really very similar for all of us, isn't it. I had to laugh at the counting one. So true.
Reading your profile we have a lot in common. "Escape to Witch Mountain" was also that kind of impressionable movie for me.
I loved this. Mind if I do my own list on my blog?
Great points! So true. I like your blog. Glad I stopped by. :)
