NOT ME! Monday



As MckMama herself said it: better late then never!

I did not have a blast taking my kids out on Halloween! It was not cold and rainy that night, so it was not a problem taking my toddlers out trick or treating just so they... err.. I could get some candy. I did not declare them to be the cutest Mickey and Minnie ever, and of course the most adorable trick or treaters on the block. Nope, not me!

I did not eat almost all of the kids' candy already and only share a few pieces with them. I am not so selfish. I do not worry about my kids eating sugar, candy, cookies and soda and never let them have anything unhealthy, but then turn around and eat all of the above myself. That would be hypocritical of me. That's why I do not do that!

I have not recently came to the conclusion that I am sick of buying diapers! I am not fed up with changing diapers, and decided I really need to kick potty training into gear. We do not spend $80-$100 a month on diapers! And my hubby certainly does not absolutely insist on buying the most expensive brand.

I did not spend practically all of my Monday cleaning and organizing like a mad woman. I did not finally finish every single ounce of laundry AND put it away! *Gasp!* I did not organize the kids' closet. And inside their closet, I did not assign one whole drawer just for Kaelynn's hair bows, clips, ponytail holders, etc. I then, did not clear one whole shelf just for her many pairs of adorable shoes. Not me!

Speaking of Kaelynn's things... I have not lately realized that I am becoming completely obsessed with her hair, clothes, and shoes. I do not spend too much time and money on it, because that would be rediculous and shallow. I do not know better than that, and think I should spend my time otherwise because my daughter is beautiful enough as it is and I shouldn't care about those materialistic things. I have also not come to realize that it would be in our family's best interest that we don't have another daughter, or we might just have a whole room full of clothes, shoes and hairbows and we'd be in big trouble, not to mention big debt!

I am not looking forward to our dinner tonight. I am not making my mom's homemade chili and cornbread. It is not going to be yummmmmy! I do not love having a nice warm dinner when it's yucky outside, cause it surely is not rainy out right now. I am not hoping when hubby gets home that we can eat our yummy dinner and cuddle up and watch movies! Nope, not me! :-P

Had to leave a comment to say just how much I love your blog and what beautiful children you have. Tell me, what are Irish twins? I have heard the term before, but never really understood it.

Also, great Not-Me's. I laughed out loud. Who isn't completely tired on buying and changing diapers? Ugh. I can't wait for my 2 year old to become potty trained. I am always asking him, "do you think you might want to sit on the toliet?" LOL! No luck yet, but I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed. Might even make it his New Year's resolution. :)
