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 everyone else have not been doing this week.


Yesterday, on Sunday, the great day of rest, I did not take that to a new level by sending Travis to my parents' house with our 4 kiddos. I did not then head off, laptop in hand, to my favorite place, Cafe 116 and work for 3 hours. I did not, on more than one occasion, find myself chuckling out loud while reading something, due to the fact that I had my ear phones in so I could listen to Christmas music, and halfway oblivious to the fact that I was in public. That would be awkward for others trying to drink their latte or visit with their tablemates. And once I arrived home, I most certainly did not think to myself, "Heck, I don't need a vacation...that would require babysitters, packing, money for plane tickets and hotel rooms...I just need my kids to go on vacation for a couple of days."

While working yesterday, I did not post our list of thanks from Thanksgiving to my blog...3 days after Thanksgiving. That would be pointless, since the "official" day of thanks was over.

I did not wonder what on earth I would do with a cloth diaper set if I won one from MckMama's giveaway. I did not go to the website and check out the said set to see what it all contained. Nope, not me, cause our youngest of four has been out of diapers for nearly a year and that would be not only a waste of time, but totally weird.

Our Official Thanksgiving Day List of Things to Give Thanks For...

What are we thankful for?

Becky: Today I am thankful for my husband and kids and our health. For the moments when I hear my husbands voice, though brief. For our warm beds and the food we will share with so many today. For my children's teachers. For my God who forgives me when I fall short and for the opportunity to have a job sharing His message with youth and the opportunity to make an impact on His Kingdom.

Izzy: To serve people (we are going to serve a meal @ the Salvation Army), going to bed, helping people and God.

Maddie: Mom, God, Jesus, my friends, animals, all people, Dad, brothers and sister.

Zachary: everything

Justin: lots of stuff, like EVERYTHING

Travis: My family supporting me with my voice condition. My wife and our kids.
