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.




Just last night I did not hear my lovely daughter, Emma, say in her prayers , "Dear Jesus, Thank you for cereal for dinner, because I don't like the other dinners." Ha! Wonderful.

And I do not have the most minuscule but painful burn on my knuckle, because I stupidly touched the inside of a pan that, of course, was on and blazing hot. That would not be practicing safe stove handling procedures. So, I would definitely not do that.

You also would NOT have seen me, basketball mom newbie, on the side of the court flailing about on my chair when my adorable 1st grader was playing his second game ever and would almost score. Definitely not me. Crazy lady.

I most definitely DID NOT let our bathroom toilet at the apartment "go" to the point of MOLD growing inside of it because I was too busy getting ready for the move and I had other more important things to do, and I figured in a few days we wouldn't be living there anyway (and to my defense - it happens really quickly!). And I absolutely would NEVER admit to having done that, especially on my blog for the whole world to read. ...because, seriously, that would just be gross. Period.

My hubby and I would never have acted like, um...giddy school girls, just because our family of 5 is now living in a HOUSE, instead of an apartment.

And we were not ecstatic that

1) we could wash our own cars in our driveway

2) I actually had the counter space to put a nickle on

3) we could sleep without the sound of "spaz boy" riding his bike above us

4) hey-I forgot something in my car and hey-I don't need to walk to the other side of the complex where my car is parked to get it.

5) we could send the kids out to play in the fenced back yard on these super sunny, relatively warm days

6) we could walk around in the kitchen without bumping into one another's fat pockets

7) I could fit all our clothes in our closet

8) we didn't hear the tornado flush of the toilet from the people upstairs because hey-we reeeeally don't need to know EVERY time they gotta go.

9) we could all enter our home together without falling all over each other in the "entry" way.

10) we could smoothly drive up to our house open the garage door and drive in without "bouncing" our way in over a dozen speed bumps.

11) we can now easily access ALL sides of our dining table.

12) and most importantly that we're paying just a smidgen more to have all these luxuries!

And our family is certainly not completely and utterly amazed, blessed, humbled, and beyond grateful that God allowed us this gift of this house, even though we feel so undeserving. Nope, not us.:)
