"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!

Let's start by saying that I did not wake up Sunday morning feeling like I'd been hit by a truck...aches, chills, hot, dizzy and not at all would you have found me sleeping on the bathroom floor...ugh! I did not spend the rest of the day in bed...with a few favorite family members who laid by my side throughout the entire day! {Alex, Emily & faithful Skipper...thanks!}

I did not hear Emily tell me one day "Mommy, I'm going to be just like you when I get older...and be really tired!" Aw...isn't that sweet? {Should I be flattered that she wants to be like me when she grows up...or upset that she thinks I'm tired all the time!}

Emily does not walk to the bus stop first every morning...leaving Alex behind still wondering about whether to get dressed and finish his breakfast! {He hasn't missed the bus...yet!}

I did not nearly burst my eardrums and have a mild heart attack from setting off our alarm system, either! I always have everything I need when I leave the house and never have to go back in to get something else! I did not try to beat the alarm in the 5 seconds I had left to leave the house before it would announce "Disarm System NOW!" I did not almost wet my pants and try to 'Disarm System NOW' with shaky hands in a state of panic! Whew....I absolutely did not do that! {Intruders beware!}

I did not take a long walk with Skipper...after eating a sausage McGriddle, and consuming a delicious iced coffee...because, like I always say, I eat healthy...McDonald's does not consider me a family member, at all! So...during the walk that Skipper and I did not take...my legs did not begin to feel like jell-o and Skipper did not try to scrap with a tiny white poodle...and almost lose! We are in great shape and taking a long walk is a breeze for us! {right, Skipper? Stop panting to death like you're going to die!}

I'm not so far behind on taking tests to renew my x-ray license that I have not put it off for 2 years and waited until the last month to get them all passed! I will not feel like a college student cramming for finals this month...ugh! {I was never a great student...I never will be! I just need to pass, right! But don't tell my kids that!} If I am absent from blogging...it is not because I will have my face buried in the last nine issues of Radiologic Technology! I do not ever procrastinate! Not Me! Don't wish me luck...I don't need it! {Please do...I will need it!}

    Hope you are feeling better...being sick is no fun when you have a house and family to take care of.

  4. I hate alarm clocks, they are the enemy. Ooh a McGriddle...not that I eat those or anything, not me. Good luck with your tests. I probably would have waited until the last minute too...not to say that you did such a thing.

  7. Procrastination is my worst attribute. It makes me late a lot. Not a great deal late. Just "the count on me as being 5 minutes late almost every time no matter how hard I try or am determined not to be" late. I hate being late. But I guess not enough to not procrastinate. LOL
    Hope you are feeling better today and do well on your test.

  8. I hope you are feeling better....a sick momma is no fun! I eat healthy all the time too...you know because ice cream for dinner is healthy! I put off renewing my teaching license until the last minute too and then had to cram two classes into one semester with two toddlers running around the house! That was fun...and I'll have to do it again in two more years!
