What would your lists look like? I'd love to know!
*I'm linking up this post with From Mrs. to Mama's "Women Connect" today. I imagine this post is slightly different from most; but, I do think it is a good representation of who I am - which is mostly light-hearted, real, and (sometimes) kind-of deep. If you are here visiting, I hope you'll stick around and get to know me more! (Also, check-out my "About" page for the more basic stuff.)
Hi! I'm visiting from Women Connect! I love the post idea. Short, sweet, to the point.

I was relieved when I got to the second list. I was worried that you were being too hard on yourself. If it makes you feel better, I too am bad at listening. And I don't know if I'm good or bad at ironing, because I simply refuse to do it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, never feel bad about not responding to my comments. You can skip mine and focus on other readers' comments. I know you're reading them!
ReplyDeleteMy list would look EXACTLY like your's. Like I could cut and paste your list onto my blog and it would be 100% true.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot in common, you and I ;)
ReplyDeleteI linked up too!
I didn't realllly link up, but I've been stalking all the awesome posts on the link up today :) I was happy to see you are a working mama. So many blogs are SAHM's and while I would love that, I also love to work... and it's something I'm constantly thinking about. We have no kids yet but would like to start a family within the next couple years and I'm happy to find someone who can blog about both work and momma stuff! Sorry for the novel! ;)
ReplyDeleteyour lists are funny!! you are pretty hard on yourself, though!!
