Not Me, Monday!

Once again here are the things I DID NOT DO this week

~I did not wait until the last day of two promotions to buy christmas presents for people. I am always on top of everything and NEVER have to go out and buy things at the last minute.

~When my dear hubby went out last night to see "The Punisher" I did not make him go get my Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana soup. Let me tell you it wasnt as good as I had been craving.

~I did not forget up until 4 hours before that Michael had an IEP meeting at school last monday. I did NOT have to scramble to find someone to watch the kids during the meeting.

~Hubby did not put Natalie in the car when she was just dressed in a diaper to go pick Michael from school. Again Hubby always dresses our kids in the outfits that I put out for him.

Not Me! Monday

Here are the things I absolutely did not do this weekend

-My friend and I did not skip doing our bible study because our other friend was in OKC on business and go shopping. I did not then proceed to spend alot of money on books at TJM@X for stocking stuffers.

-I also did not let my friends children eat on my floor when I was babysitting because at my house we always eat at the table and never on the floor.


-Michael also did not have an appointment to get new AFO's (Ankle Foot Orthotics) and it DID NOT take two grown men and myself to hold him down. Michael also did not also almost kick one of the grown men in the groin while they were casting his feet.

-My hubby did not take my daughter out to do errands on saturday (while I was NOT working) in her long john pajamas and messed up hair. My kids are ALWAYS dressed up in non pajamas.

-We did not go christmas shopping on saturday to the mall. We did not go get in line to see Santa Claus. While we were not in line, the manager did not come over to tell us that in 15 minutes Santa was NOT going on a break and would NOT be back in 30 minutes. She then didn't proceed to ask me whether or not Michael was special needs (She felt really bad for asking me) and when I told her he was then she didn't proceed to tell me to go quietly away and come back after his break and go straight to the exit where we wouldn't have to wait at all. ( I really am not so thankful that we didn't have to wait in the line.) Natalie did not proceed to throw a huge fit when placed in Santas arms and didn't recover until we were very far away from Santa

Not Me! Monday

These are the things I DID NOT do this week

This morning I did not stop by Circle K to get gas and coffee, just to come home and brew myself some coffee at home because I totally forgot that I got coffee at Circle K.

I did not make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies on wednesday just to forget to put all the flour in. I always remember all of my ingredients in everything I make.

I did not nap with the kids 3 days this week. I always go to bed early and never need a nap

I did not take my daughter to the store today in her pajamas because I was running late and didn't have time to get her dressed. She is always dressed in cute clothes.

My mom did not do ALL of my laundry (thank you mom) for me while she was up here visiting on friday. I did NOT have to work all day and she didn't watch my kids for awhile so my hubby could go shopping with his mom.

I hope you enjoy this Not Me! Monday and don't forget to check out MckMama's blog at www.mycharmingkids.net

Women Of Faith

I had the wonderful experience to go to the Women of Faith this weekend. And can I just tell you I have never laughed so hard. It was AMAZING.

One of my favorite parts was on saturday when Nicole C. Mullen was performing and she started signing the words to Redeemer.

As many of you know my little guy Michael is deaf and Matt and I are learning sign language and I thought it was utterly AMAZING (i love that word) that Nicole took the time to learn all the sign to that song and then have the confidence to perform it.

I am not a crier at all but that brought me very close to tears.

If you want to see a version of it check this out it also includes part of her song "Witness"

Happy Turkey Day Everyone

I forgot to post yesterday

Oh my goodness....I was so tired yesterday and didn't feel good so I forgot to post and so here I am again REALLY REALLY tired and so I am just posting a Oh my goodness I'm tired and forgot to post.

Hope everyone has a ood weekend

Going back to work

So a couple of months ago Matt and I talked about me going back to work part time and seasonal this Christmas season just to get a little ahead. So I didn't think he was serious but apparently he was.

Last monday I went and applied, then on friday I had an interview and got the job and then today I went and filled out all the paperwork and I have orientation tomorrow.

I am a little bit nervous as everybody probably is about starting a new job. Plus I have never left Natalie to go to a job and I like staying home with my kids.

I will work usually friday, saturday and sunday 6am to 12pm. Matt has those days off so He will typically watch the kids so we won't have to find outside childcare very often which will be nice. And this job only lasts for about 10 weeks which is just fine with me.

I hope everyone is having a great wednesday.

Did you vote?

One of my favorite memories of growing up was going with my mom to vote. I always have loved paperwork and those kind of things even when I was little and so I was very jealous of her getting to fill out paperwork that I was not allowed to fill out.
I voted today and I have to tell you how humbled I was that I got to vote.

This got me to thinking about the women in the early 1900's who sacrificed alot to get to vote. And then it started me thinking that the sacrifice of Christ was so much more significant and I take that for granted.

I am so thankful on this presidential voting day that my Savior died for me and all of those women sacrificed so much for me.
