It also results in my children getting WAY MORE PRESENTS, since people enjoy their polite little letters, a fact which should perhaps be mentioned to a few rude non-thanking children of my acquantaince.

Like you, I've been writing Thank you notes since we learned how to write. Now that I have a child of my own, and I'm a math teacher, I'm definitely gonna have to use this formula!!! I wonder if your formula will help my students remember the quadratic formula? Probably not. I can tell we came from the same family!!!

Thanks! LOL!!! I know it's simple... I'm just terrible at making the time to do them. It's a HORRID excuse. But this year I swore I would do it... so I bess get to work. Thanks for the inspiration.

First thing this morning, writing thank you notes. I’m afraid there are so many excuses for failing to send thanks and I’m determined my kids won’t give in to any of them.

I was eight months pregnant with my first child, substitute teaching full-time (without prepared lesson plans, thank you very much) for a friend so he could travel for his international adoption, and moving into a the house we just bought. The thing that finally pushed me over the edge was trying to find the addresses for all the thank-you notes for my baby shower.<br/><br/>After all that shaking and hysterical sobbing, I have not written a thank-you note since. But kudos to you for the discipline (you are welcome to write mine, too).<br/><br/>I love the t-shirt. The only time in my life I came close to an anxiety attack, it was over thank-you notes.
