Definitely agreed!  Considering I've completed both challenges... I'm disappointed.

And for the record, can I just state that I am as busy as everyone else? I HATE when people try to use that as an excuse for things! Drives me bonkers!! I committed to it and I did it. End of story!

Hallelujah!  LOL I was just saying the same thing to Dee on Yahoo.  I hate the whole "I'm busy" excuse.  EVERYONE'S busy, whether they go to school, work, or both.  And I know that some weeks are busier than others... but if you're THAT busy EVERY week of the month, then 1) Maybe you should prioritize and not waste so much time on this forum, and 2) Don't commit to a writing challenge with a deadline.

YES! Ugh it really drives me crazy! When kids use it as an excuse and when adults do too. I know this is just a silly challenge on a silly forum but it does say a lot about someone's personality when you commit to things and then make excuses. I love all of you but yes, that's the way to drive Mare nutso! lol Just own up to the fact that you dropped the ball minus the ten thousand excuses.

Not just this challenge thread either. lol Anytime people use the i'm too busy excuse.

You tell it, sister!

Thanks!  And I want to add "raise kids" to the whole "work, school, or both" list too... cause I know that's a full time job for you moms with young children!  So yeah... we're ALL busy.

Yeah...typing is hard when my daughter likes to crawl on my lap, punch keys, shut off the monitor, scream, cry, beg for food, sit on the keyboard...and do you have any idea how many times I clean my living room, in a day?!? lmao...and I work a full time job, too.

So yeah...I agree that everyone is busy, in thier own ways!
