Not Me Monday



Welcome to Not Me Monday! A blog carnival, created by MckMama waaaay before this blog ever existed! Join in the fun by heading down to her blog!


This past week I certainly did not forget I was signed up for snack at my mommy's group until the absolute last possible minute the night before while I was out with my husband, and then run into the store we were passing by to buy a cheesecake to bring with me to a 9:00am meeting! Nope, I would never do that...I always bring healthy snacks like cut up fruit and cheese and crackers every time!

I also did not have the genius idea to bake cookies with my 3 year old...and then by the time we were finally ready to put them in the oven forget to even turn it on, and then leave her to sit there and watch them bake (her favorite part) for ten minutes only to pull out cold cookie dough and make her start the waiting process all over again. Nope! I am always totally together and never forget something like turning on the oven when I'm baking!

My husband and I did not spend our date night looking at new vehicles! I would never buy something brand new that is going to lose a bunch of it's value when I drive it off the lot, and I would certainly never buy a huge SUV that will take tons of gas just because it's the only thing I can find that will fit all of my children in their car seats, my double stroller, and still leave some room for groceries or luggage if we want to drive up and see my husband's family in the north!


It's nice to admit our imperfections once and awhile, isn't it? So head down over to MckMama's blog now and join in the fun!

Thankful

This is where I admit that I suck at blogging. I also admit that I probably never WILL be very good at it, but I promise to try. I've never filled more than half a journal before buying a new one, either.

Now that I got that out, I must wish anyone and everyone who may happen to stumble across here today a very happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving! And now, because I am currently far too lazy busy to write an actual post, I will just list everything I am thankful for.

I am thankful for:
Forgiveness
My Husband
The opportunity to be Mom to four beautiful, wonderful children
The opportunity to have had a wonderful, healthy pregnancy with A despite being told it would never happen
My Husband
Fun-filled family vacations!!!
My home
Lazy Sunday mornings spent playing in the leaves
Family suppers at my dad's house!
A vehicle that fits all my kids
Health
My Husband

I give up...I don't have time to list everything, because I have to make lunch! And get ready to go for Thanksgiving supper at my Dad's house!


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
