This would be irony.

I have been so behind on my blog reading, y'all, and even further behind on commenting and responding to comments. Ironically, at the beginning of the month, SAHMmy nominated me for the Nice Matters Award!


Okay, I'm a little embarrassed, because here's what SAHMmy said about me:

Lori, Queen of Dirty Laundry because she always takes the time to respond to your comments on her blog with an email! This is one busy lady, but she finds time to let us all in on the fun!

AHEM. I love responding to comments, I really do! But I have a confession. I respond much more often to your comments if you have the box checked that allows me to reply directly to you. Read this post or this post if you need a little help.

And to my commenters who have checked the box but haven't heard from me in a while, I'm sorry. I have been trying so hard to get my house organized (and succeeding little by little!) that I haven't taken as much time as I'd like to "socialize." But I'm getting caught up, I promise.

Now, to whom should I pass this lovely title?

Katherine at Raising Five - She writes such honest and relevant posts about parenting and her walk with God. And her sweet, encouraging e-mails always come at just the right time!

Laura at I'm An Organizing Junkie - Again with the encouragement! Laura has found her niche, and I don't think she realizes how many people she inspires by sharing her enthusiasm for organizing with the rest of us. And her e-mails are like little cheerleaders in my Inbox!

Kristen at Diary of a Shoe Addict - Kristen writes such cute and entertaining posts, engaging her readers in fun questions and conversations. She cares about her readers, and it shows. She's living with a myriad of physical challenges, yet posts regular prayer requests for others.

Kristin - The Redneck Diva - Kristin has become such a close friend over the months! She's caring and sweet, she cheers for me when I deserve it and whoops my butt when I need it. That's nice in my book!

All right, y'all, that's about all the nice I can handle right now. Time for me to go yell at some kids. Wink.
