Not Me! Monday

So there's this blog I read sometimes. Ok it's a lot. I usually check back more than once a day, usually. Well her name's MckMama and she's fabulous! She writes a blog each Monday, entitled "Not Me! Monday" saying it's a place "where we can be brutally honest with each other, and live to tell about it, while we shroud the severity of our statements by pretending we SO did not really do them!" Check out MckMama's blog- she's a hoot and I know you'll love her (especially if you have small children).

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.



So onto my "Not Me!" Monday! (And for some reason, when I started this blog... on Thursday... but did not finishe until Monday... it says it's posted on Thursday... But really it's Monday!)



I most certainly did not get sick 2 weeks ago with the stomach flu, infecting my entire household, and then leave them all in their misery to flit off across the globe to a magnificent beach in Mexico with 5 friends on a trip that had been long planned! Nope, not me!



I also did not feel incredibly guilty about this non-fact while I was there and after I came home to find that my brood had then infected my mom, dad and sister. Nope, didn't feel horrible in the least, considering I feel guilty enough leaving (when everyone is healthy) to go to Target for an hour in the evening.



I did not zip through and entrench myself in the last of the "Twilight" series books, "Breaking Dawn," while laying on the beach, partly to distract me from thinking about my family back home.



Whilst sick with my crew before I left, I did not allow all of us to stay in our pajamas for 3 days, watch endless amounts of pbs and movies, let Aphia have her Nuk almost all day long (when she normally only has it at bed time) and take uber long naps.

I did not let Aphia eat breakfast 3 times on Saturday (one with Jonah, one with me, one with Jeremiah) because she seems to love eating more than anything else. And sometimes, it's just easier. I also did not ever swear that I would never say the statement, "...because it's just easier."



And finally, I am certainly not extremely thankful for the wonderful friends I have, who made my trip to Mexido possible. I was not overwhelmingly blessed by them to be there, and by my family back home, taking care of my kiddos while I was gone. I really do have the most amazing network around me~ loving and devoted~ wow.



Check back next week when I fill you in on more things that I certainly did not do, that show the imperfect, unbalanced, sometimes very crazed person I really am not!
