March has been a wonderful, horrible, stressful, exhausting, nonstop, humbling, roller-coaster month for our family. I've been wonderfully blessed with so much support as I continue to write on Motherly Law and elsewhere. And ML continues to gain momentum in various ways. I'm excited to see what each new day brings my way as a result of all the writing and connecting I have done with ML.
I've been intending to update several posts as the laws have changed with some of the topics I have written about. I was going to write that post for today, but I really need to just drop into bed and sleep rather than stay up writing. So, I'll be updating posts on Saturday. Instead, I've come up with a ML Trivia Pop Quiz for you.
A Motherly Law Quiz
Here are some random questions regarding information from various posts. I hope you've been reading, but don't worry if you haven't or have and don't remember the answers. I have provided the answers at the bottom of this post:
-
What was the very 1st ML post titled?
-
How many states ban the use of hand-held phones while driving?
-
In which post do I reveal the depths of my paranoia by telling you that I printed a photo list of the FBI's Most Wanted List the 1st time I flew on an airplane after September 11th, 2001?
-

-

-

-

Pretty amazing "life" ML has had thus far. Enjoy your writing so much, Anna.
Glad you are getting some much-needed rest. And sleep a few extra winks for me today, I need it ;) March has been a crazy one around here, too. But it's all good!

There is definitely a reason "they" call it the Ides of March, no? Hope there is light in your tunnel, dear friend. Will be missing you especially next weekend ;)

Heidi,
Thanks for the support. It looks to be a long tunnel, but I have faith there will be a light at the end! Will miss not seeing you this weekend!
