"Not Me!" Monday


Yippee!  Monday!  Why so happy for Monday?  It is not Spring Break!  We have nothing planned {true...well almost nothing...}  but I'm not happy to have nowhere to be!  We have not been doing lots of this over the weekend preparing for a long week of nothing...


The couch and I have not become really close!  {Yes...that's right...the clock does not say almost 6:00 in the evening and I did not just pry my bottom off the couch where Alex was using me as his pillow!  I did not want to move...I do not love when I get a little snuggle time with him...it is rare...true!}  Seriously...I would not be so idle with my time as that...please...ahem...

Prior to this...however...I did not help Alex cram to meet his AR goal before Spring Break, in which he needed to pass seven tests!  He's always ahead of the game and never procrastinates...like his mother...  We do not work better under pressure...down to the wire...last second ...Gulp!  {Way to go Alex for getting it done!}

I have not fallen in love again with my Hoover FloorMate cleaning the kitchen floor 3 times in one week... {the most it's been cleaned all year... ahem...}  I did not drop a large, completely full cup of Diet Coke from BK from the top shelf of the fridge all over the just cleaned tile spilling and splashing from the inside to under the fridge... preceded by Dan not walking through the kitchen into the family room with muddy shoes {seriously? c'mon now...sigh...} The FloorMate has not been working over time!

I am not so glad that I do not own a runaway Toyota!  So scary!  We had considered trading the Momtaxi in for a Sequoia ...um... maybe not!  {Really true!}  Dan, however does not own a Lexus {yikes!} and I do not wonder when I'm on the road if the Toyota next to me is suddenly going to lose control!  {Be safe all drivers whatever you drive!}

I have not seen Dan all weekend {a little true} because he's not been super rolling the paint, air-hammering nails like crazy, and moving our junk precious goods around in the basement...
{picture this...}

{here on this wall...}
{this is the other side of the finished basement where the kids' playroom will be and he is not duplicating these shelves by building them himself}

{Whew!  Is it time for another nap?}

What about you?  What did you not do... eat almost a whole bag of Caramel Bugles...lay on the couch with the Bugle crumbs and watch Lady and the Tramp all weekend with your kids...or forget your deoderant the day you left the house to meet your mom and sister for lunch wondering if you smelled?  No?  Geesh...me neither, that's for sure!  Be sure to visit mckmama to see who did that....because I'm pretty sure it was not me...ahem...

ps... I do not like Daylight Savings Time!  {So True!} I do not like that an hour of my day is just gone...vanished, never happened, lost!  And I do not like going around re-setting all the clocks throughout the house...even though some of them were never re-set from the last time!  Blah!

  1. You are on Spring Break this week? Wha? How come we are so far behind. With all those snow days I am surprised they didn't take a vote to just ditch Spring Break...LOL kidding:)
    Caramel Bugels? YUM and can't wait to see your husbands version of the shelf. way cool. Love the color of the walls in the basement.
    I need to get that Hoover floormate I hate cleaning my kitchen floor. Was that the one on sale last week at Target that I wanted to get but didn't?

  2. We are on spring break this week, and other than a trip to the park, we have no plans at all! I am hoping the weather is nice and the boys can get outside and play! I love that shelf. It is going to look great in the basement! And I LOVE daylight savings time...it means we get a little more sunlight in the afternoons:)

  4. Our spring break is not until the week after Easter and I am SO hoping for better weather than we're having now! It is gray and dreary and cold here.
    Sounds like your plan to do nothing is THE plan to have! :) Enjoy your week of freedom and can't wait to see your finished basement! :)

  5. I am with you on the DLST.... it stinks!! I wish it would be left alone!!! The basement is looking awesome!!! When Dan gets finished....he can come a work on mine! It is a finished basement, it just in need of some TLC! So glad Alex finished his AR... that thing is a pain! Have a wonderful Monday! :)

  6. This post made me laugh out loud today. I LOVE the shelving that Dan is building...how amazing. I wish Ron and I had skills like. It sounds like you are having a great Spring Break and doing just what you're supposed to do. I'm off tomorrow and will hang out with Caleb all day and I can't wait! I want my hour back too but I do like it being lighter for a longer period of time.
