My "To Don't" List

I've read, okay listened to a few books lately...some are quite impressive.  However, I have to admit I was impressed with the sermon today at church; especially, the part about how we all make "To Do" list but what about our "To Don't" list.  What is a "To Don't" list, you ask? The things or items in your life that you really don't need to be doing - maybe they are taking you away from the things you need to be doing, like spending time with you husband and kids.  So as I am sitting there thinking about this - honestly, it didn't take long to realize what I don't need to be doing any longer or maybe just not as much of it. 
FACEBOOK was on top of that list - Friday night, I was blessed to spend time with Ali and two friends, we went and saw The Smurf's (cute~cute movie) anyways! Anyways, I thought it would be cute to post that we were at the theatre, and immediately Ali says "She's always on Facebook" and our little guest says "So is my mom" - that was a slap of reality - I guess I didn't realize that by me keep in touch with my friends and extended family I was not spending time with my daughter and son.  Of course, they are usually engrossed in a television show, but apparently watching with them is spending time with them.  So, Dear Facebook - we will not be spending as much time with each other. 
My other "To Don't" is AVON - OH MY Gosh! I do enjoy their products and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to sell their products to benefit the company - but seriously! I signed up with the hopes and I even prayed that I would make extra money, I have spent more money - than I could have ever made.  So with that being said - Dear AVON, Campaign 16 is my last order.  If anyone wants to place an order please go to www.myavon.com/acockran - She deserves your orders.  Oh! I am not signing up with anymore "At Home Businesses" - if I feel we need more income in our home; I'll stop spending extra cash on stuff we do not need....It will definitely bring more money in.
For now this is my "To Don't" List.
