For those of you who have read my blog in the past, I feel the need to catch you up on a few things.

First, I lied. It isn't easy being green. Yes I have all sorts of cute bags to keep me from using plastic at the grocery store. But do I EVER remember to take them to the store with me? NO! They sit in my garage, still cute but not serving their intended purpose. I just needed to clear my conscience on that one.

Secondly, you may remember the issue of the spoons. Here's what went down: I marched into the school with my head held high and 21 spoons (and one fork) in my purse. I wasn't even that humiliated as I fessed up to several people there, including the principal. Her comment was, "So that's where they've all been going. We thought kids were throwing them away." But here's the kicker...I miss them. We eat a lot of cereal and yogurt and ice cream around here and those little guys were coming in handy. No one said obeying the law was easy.

I don't really have a thirdly, but I think it seems awkward to only have two things, so I need to make one up real quick. I had an "aha" moment today. It hit me that it really doesn't work to rountinely sleep in until 8am and then help 3 kids get out of the door for school by 8:40am. We've been making it work, but it really isn't the best situation for minimizing chaos. I know I'm a little slow that this is just now hitting me, but you just have to know that I'm not a "jump out of bed" kind of person. That and I've been staying up late blogging. I'm pretty sure if you are reading this, you understand that. So right here and now I am choosing to wake up earlier, for the good of my family...tomorrow I'll start with 7:45am. No need to go to extremes!
