Not Me! Monday


Wow...I am not ready for it to be Monday already. I was enjoying the weekend, and now it's back to the daily grind! Head on over to MckMama's to read what she has not done lately!
I did not put my kids to bed at 6 pm the other night because it was dark and I needed a break.
I am not ridiculously excited about the premiere of Twilight on Friday! I do not already have my ticket, and I would not be so excited about a movie for teenagers! I also do not wish that they had cast Zac Efron as Edward.
While at the mall yesterday after church, I did not head into a salon on a whim and cut almost 10 inches of hair off. I did not cry when I realized I had a MOM haircut and style, and I did not rush home to rewash and restyle it. I do not hate my bangs.
I am not a sucker for infomercials. I do not own a magic bullet food processor. I do not think it is one of the top five coolest inventions of all time.
When my kids see commercials and ask for the items in them (doesn't really matter if it is a toy...Ava asked for the lotion from a commercial the other day), I do not say "Sure!" just so they will stop asking me. That would be leading them on, and I never, ever do that.
Last week when Ava had a project due for school (a turkey decorating contest), and she fell asleep, I did not spend an hour cutting tiny feathers out of construction paper and gluing them to her turkey. When Ava took it to school with her the next day, and her teacher complimented her turkey, Ava did not say "Oh, it wasn't me. My mom did the whole thing herself." I was not embarassed!
When watching Days of Our Lives the other day, I did not completely freak out when I saw Ethan from Passions walk onto the screen! Wow. Ethan, I have missed you. I will never be able to call you Brady.
aaaaaaand, last but certainly not least....
Seth is not 4 months old today! He is still a newborn! His 14 lbs, 9 oz is not starting to make my back tired if I wear him for a long time. He is not getting so long that when I cradle him, his legs stick out and he can kick people passing by. I am not sad.

Okay... Ethan is BRADY? I have to start watching Days again! And I can't believe you cut your hair! I want to see!

I'm also a sucker for the Infomercials. I'm a proud owner of the Ultimate Chopper (with the Ultimate Blender attachment).

I love you to pieces!

Isn't it amazing how quickly time flies when you have a newborn in the house? Course yesterday mine were babies and now they're BIG old things that are eating me out of house and home!?! Where DID the time go???
