"Not Me!" Monday

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

It is not Monday again! It just isn't...I refuse to accept it! The very last Monday before my babies start school! Really, they are just babies, and babies don't go to school! Okay, they are wonderful, smart, big kids who are more ready for school than I am! They are not super-duper excited about it and Emily cannot wait to see what the inside of the school bus looks like! I will not enjoy some quiet mornings soon...I'm not maybe a little excited about that!

We were not enjoying one last fun playdate with friends on Friday afternoon swimming and eating popcorn...that we did not even know that this was in our 'backyard'...


Apparently...the driver of this semitrailer did not somehow drive up the steep hill just on the other side {yes, up a hill!} ...through a fence and the line of trees to end up in the pond in our neighborhood! Ouch! {there is a busy interstate that runs just along the other side of the trees...and he was ok!} It did not cause lots of neighbors, traffic, big trucks and heavy equipment to take over the neighborhood to get the semi out of the pond...and it did not take until midnight for it to be pulled out! {I'm totally not a night owl...and did not see all the trucks still working with their bright lights on!}






I certainly do not still have my suitcase lying on my bedroom floor fully packed from our vacation a week ago! Of course not! I'm much more prompt at putting things away back where they belong...and not just getting things from the suitcase when I need it!

I did not spend Saturday doing absolutely nothing! No way! After all, I still do not have suitcases to unpack, and groceries to buy and laundry to be done. I would not spend that time sleeping in until 9:30, not showering and jumping off the swings with the kids! I am so much more efficient with my time! Therefore, I definitely do not have sore thumbs from playing Alex's Nintendo DS for hours and hours trying to pass all the levels of Super Mario Bros. Really, I don't! It does not frustrate me endlessly when Mario falls into the lava over and over again...I do not promise Alex "Just one more time!" over and over again!

I will not shed a few tears or get a lump in my throat this week as both my babies get on the bus on Friday...I will not! {sniff, sniff...sobbing...tissues will be secretly waiting in my pocket...just in case!}

Happy, happy Monday!
