Not Me Monday!

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.

I did not wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, and pretty much got upset at everybody a some point. There. I said it. I am a happy, cheery person in the morning, especially Monday mornings.

I do not consider buying fabric/yarn/patterns or drool over them on the internet while I already have too much going on in my sewing room. No, it is not an addiction.

I do not secretly get excited when Christmas things show up at stores way too early, and I have not walked up and down the aisles looking at everything and drinking it all in. It’s not even Halloween yet, for crying out loud!

If I agreed for all of the kids to have a flu shot when Silje was in for her boosters before school started, and was told that they needed to have them all come back in a month for another installment, I would not not bring them back because I got busy, and then decided that I don’t want them exposed to Dr.’s office germs. Every time I bring my kids to the clinic this time of year they all get sick.

I did not let David start watching cartoons at 7am this morning. Well, if you got up as early as I did, handle the cranky kids who were up too late last night, and up WAY too early this morning, and you were coming to your breaking point at 7am, you might not let him watch cartoons either.
