Not Me Monday


Over at My Charming Kids, MckMama is expecting a very special little boy, named Stellan. Stellan may or may not have some difficulties with his heart after he's born in just 2 1/2 weeks. She's a pretty cool Mama with three kids she calls Big Mac, MckNugget, and Small Fry. Stellan is also called MckMuffin. Pretty cute, I have to say!

All that to say - she's got this cool thing she does called "Not Me Monday". And since it's keeping with my style, I decided I'd join in this week.

So, this week I would like to tell you that:

I did not eat every meal on the floor in front of the TV while Matt was gone.

I did not eat 6 or 7 Monster Cookies (peanut butter, chocolate chips, and oatmeal) on Saturday.

I did not eat several of those cookies for breakfast.

I did not buy lettuce for $2 a head, just because I was that desperate for a good salad.

I did not eat several spoonfuls of raw cookie dough [because that is not acceptable for a pregnant woman]!

I did not do a blog video looking my absolute worst.

I did not sew part of a dress for Oceana, instead of clean my house.

I did not bake 11 pumpkin pies.

And no matter what anyone tells you, I did not do several tour jetes while 14 weeks pregnant.

If you want to join in, follow over to MckMama's blog and Mr. Linky in.

  3. I would "never" sew instead of clean. I most certainly have not done that very thing for about 2 weeks now. You have a beautiful family!

  5. Ha.

    I did not turn every single aircon in my house to 18 degrees and evey celing fan on as fast as it will go.

    I did not do as little as possible all day.

    I did not look at the brothel that is my house and go "....meh."

    I did not eat two cold roast lamb sandwiches for lunch.

  10. The highway to hell is paved with Lattes and monster cookies, I swear it. Well, there might be some french fries and burgers there, too. Maybe.

  11. Ok, I found your blog through MckMamas, and I am just rolling laughing... I have a song from the kids Vacation Bible school CD completely stuck in my head... all day now... and to quote.... "Be strong and courageous, Do not be terrified, do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you, whereever you go.... whereever you go !" All day in my head, and then I open your blog.... hmm. He leads us in mysterious ways. I will be praying for you and your family.

  15. Susie, I found your site through MckMama's. Too funny! I, too, have been making pumpkin pies. Yummy!! But, alas, no cookies at this house....maybe tomorrow.

    On a serious note, your Joshua is precious. What a blessing to have been able to have him for so long. I will be praying for Baby #3.
