NOT ME MONDAY

not been doing this week.

I am not dreading going to my office this morning since it's 10 degrees and -3 wind chill. Nope, not me, cause I'm a tough Minnesotan with thick skin. I would not rather stay in my house all day today. Regardless of any itching for Spring I may be having, I can handle the cold whipping in my face, on my hands and around my collar. I'm not wishing that my meeting, the only reason to leave my house today, would get canceled, postponed or otherwise rescheduled.

I am not going to fill the rest of this post with a boycott for prayers for our friends the Thackers. They have been "waiting" since the earthquake in mid-January to bring home their precious Reese from Haiti. Last Friday Sarah flew to Haiti to bring her son and 4 of his friends to the US to their families. Sarah's husband Dave is in Florida awaiting their arrival. PLEASE, PLEASE read their story and be praying for them as things have turned crazy there and Sarah has been separated from Reese and the other kids. http://www.thethackerpack.blogspot.com/

Well, in my attempt in eating healthy this weekend I did NOT made up a new chili recipe that included {tofu} and bulgur wheat and I of course TOLD my husband of the creation before he consumed it. What kind of wife would I be if I didn't tell him of the goodness he was eating? I truly loved it.

I am NOT thinking that I've had too much sleep lately. We have four kids and recently moved, so that would be totally crazy. I should be so sleep deprived I can't think straight. I have NOT had long naps for 3 days in a row with either Izzy or both girls. I did NOT stay up (after Trav fell asleep) last night by myself until nearly 1:00 AM because I wasn't sure if I could fall asleep. I did NOT watch Fireproof for the most part by myself, cause that would be kinda weird.

Disclosure...THIS DID NOT HAPPEN: Me: "Are we gonna do something for Valentine's Day?" Trav: nodded the affirmative Me: "What?" Trav: shrugged shoulders Both: BUSTED OUT LAUGHING *I have no idea what that was all about, but to say that it makes me feel old, like we have no clue what we are going to do for Valentine's Day, so of course haven't done anything to get a sitter cause we don't know what to tell her about times. Will we do something? Probably, maybe, who knows! Will it be last minute? More than likely, if we are lucky enough to get a sitter.

It's a snow day here, and while my eldest three kiddos spend close to 4 hours outside in the snow while Iz and I napped for most of that, I'm NOT still looking forward to BUNCO tonight! I mean, really!

Here I go:

I was not feeling guilty about not having posted to my blog since December 21st! And realizing it is now February 1st, I did not think, "I wonder if it even matters anymore." Upon realizing that it does matter to me, I did not commit to blogging this Not Me Monday post today with the hope that I will post something else before next Monday.

Being gone all of last week (6 1/2 days to be exact) I was not totally convicted of how I typically react to my children and their behavior. I did not take the refresher of "Discipline is teaching" to heart and have been trying to be more calm. I am NOT nervous that this is a short season and that I will go back to being a total crab. Overall though, my week was refreshing (when I wasn't be convicted) and I did NOT think that I would love to live in the big city, knowing my husband would probably go into convulsions at the mention of that desire.

I'm most definitely not toying with the idea of being a vegetarian. I have not been restricting my meat intake recently while trying to decipher what God intends for me. I did not pick up the book, "Skinny Bitch" and I am NOT thoroughly enjoying reading it. I am feeling NO guilt for the crap that I've put in my body and am not vowing off soda, among other things. (I don't think I can go vegan, however, as I love my grilled cheese and I buy my eggs locally!) I did NOT feed my family veggie stir fry with {tofu} yesterday and it most definitely not make me want to go and buy more tofu and plan my meals with it!

And finally, in my attempt to be more healthy, I have NOT committed to limiting my coffee intake! AH...WHAT HAVE I DONE!
