Not Me! Monday

Happy Monday! I am looking forward to a week of NO school, NO work, and LOTS of yummy thanksgiving goodness! But first, I am looking forward to sharing all the things I have not done lately with you all! Head on over to MckMama's to take part.

This week, I did not procrastinate and neglect to buy my ticket to Twilight. I was not broken hearted about missing the showing my friends were going to. John did not take pity on me and arrange it with the movie theater for me to get a ticket. I did not squeal like a 12 year old!

When we left to attend the movie, I did not size up the (hundred or so!) people in front of us in line to see if I was the oldest person in line (I wasn't). I did not then count all the Team Edward and Team Jacob shirts to see who was winning (Edward had the edge with the shirts, but Jacob had a surprisingly large audience reaction.)

When we went to lunch at Chick Fil A one day, my kids did not refuse to sit at the same table with me. Not me! I'm cool!

I did not cry a little inside when my daughter's turkey did not win the turkey decorating contest. Because it is not about winning, people! It's about being a good sport!

I do not have trouble walking by the clearance racks in Target. When I saw that all the clearance was an extra 30% off, I did not veer recklessly into the clothing section. I have never spent grocery money on clothes...Not me! I would never do that!

While shopping for our Isaiah's Inn Family, I have not been stressing out about what our family means with they write "shirt" on their list. Do they want a t-shirt? A dress shirt? A polo shirt? Do they have a favorite color? I need details, people! I mean, I do not need details, because I'm not stressed about this!

I did not freak out like a big dork the other day when Seth actually grasped a toy for the first time. I had not given up hope of him every doing anything other than laying around looking cute (which he could do professionally, by the way).

I did not wake up in the middle of the night to find four people besides myself in my bed. Not me! My kids sleep great and always in their own bed. Always! I did not let them stay just because I wanted to get back to the dream I was having, which did not involve days of leisure and a housekeeper.

And finally, I am not thrilled about having no school this week because it means I don't have to have the kids up at 7 every morning. I am not thinking of putting hurricane shutters up on their windows so they will sleep later.

Come play! Can't wait to read yours!
