Not Me! Monday

Today I did not wake up late, like almost every other day.

Fortunately, I did not have an excuse.. and I did not blame it on the time change. Not me!

I did not linger in the day care this morning.

I definitely did not stop when Aidan puckered up to give me a kiss. Nope, not me!

I did not forget practically everything on my grocery list when I went to the store...

and I most definitely did not buy anything that we didn't have to have. Not me!

I did not get brokenhearted when I realized Alivia Grace is 11 months old today.

I also did not look at a $50 tutu for her first birthday party. Nope, not me!

When we got home today, I did not let Aidan eat chocolate and watch TV,

just so I could have a few minutes of alone time. Not me!

That same chocolate did not make him extra-hyper,
and I did not regret giving it to him. Nope, not me!

After dinner, I did not eat three s'mores. Not me!
That same chocolate did not give me any extra energy. (Seriously. It didn't.)

Since it's Not Me Monday, I did not download an app for my Droid so that I can keep my blogging promise. That would be too easy, so I did not do it. Nope, not me!


And last, but not least.. I will not continue blogging this week...
and I will not look forward to the next Not Me! Monday.


Nope, not me!

- From the Burnams, with love.

Not me! Tuesday

Well, it definitely was not me who forgot about Not me! Monday... so I will not break the rules and post two blogs today.

My manager is back in town and there's a new rule: No cell phones in the office. So, of course, I did not get on Facebook, because I knew that my husband would get his messages on his phone instantly.

It was also not me who had a ton of clever things to say for Not me! Monday... but instead forgot to post and is now drawing a blank.

Until next week... ciao!

Not me! Monday

So today begins another week, and I am not looking forward to it. ;)

On my way to work this morning I drove carefully and paid close attention to the road, because I was not playing peek-a-boo with Aidan in the backseat. Not me!

When I dropped Aidan off at daycare I did not stick around to watch him play after I handed him off, because I knew that if I did I would be late to work... and since my manager is out of town on vacation this week I did not think that it would be okay to be a few minutes late. Not me!

Also, since my manager is out of town, I am definitely working diligently and not catching up on my blog, playing on Facebook, paying bills, working on a budget, and all those others things you should not be doing while you are at work. I'm definitely not doing any of that. Not me!

Our house is being moved tomorrow, and then the redecorating begins. I'm sure glad that it's not me that has to rip up carpet, throw away all the junk left inside from its previous owners, and pick out paint colors, flooring and light fixtures. That would be a lot of hard work. Not for me!

When I go to lunch today I am not going to do a little shopping, because I'd much rather take Aidan with me. I do not like when I have time to myself to try on clothes, and I would much rather have to worry about my child eating stuff off the floor. Then, after work, I am not going to go home and relax, because where is the fun in that?

After all, this is Not Me! Monday.
