No more plastic cups (Change 110)

In an effort to rid ourselves of the excess "junk" in our lives, I have relegated our spare plastic glasses to the "find a new home" bin.  I had tonnes of them when I ran a home daycare - I always had four or five kids at mealtimes, plus whatever portion of the neighbourhood that happened to come over to play. 

I no longer run the daycare, and many of the extra items I had, I have found another home for.  I didn't realize how much I used those extra glasses, though, until I realized that I had 5 small glass drinking glasses.  5 small glasses are not enough for my family.  Although I use the one glass a day rule, I find it very difficult to keep track of my kids' drinking glasses, especially now that they are all clear glass.  I tend to fill a glass for them at each meal. 

I invested in some small glass drinking glasses from IKEA.  They are ideal for my children - small and cheap.  If one breaks, no big deal.  I realize that I have replaced the plastic glasses with glass glasses, so I am no further ahead with respect to the amount of "stuff" in our lives.  However, the dubious nature of the cheap plastic glasses is enough for me to want to switch over.
