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. (And I got it from Kate!)
So let's start with Mother's Day...I did not tell everyone at work that I didn't think Mark had done anything for me. He told me Saturday that he hadn't had time to do anything, but I had worked four nights last week, so I didn't think that was a good excuse. I also did not wake up sad and unappreciated on Sunday morning, dragging myself out of bed to fix Xander breakfast, when lots of other mothers (that I certainly wasn't jealous of) got breakfast brought to them in bed. And there is no possible way that I was kicking myself for being so selfish and crying at the same time when I came home to find my wonderful husband had cleaned (and even mopped) the kitchen and had beautiful tulips waiting for me on the kitchen counter. Nope, not me!
Mother's Day dinner was at Lone Star with Mark's mom. After a very good meal of ribs and mashed potatoes, I did not indulge in the free dessert of cheesecake, drizzled with strawberries. This cheesecake was like a tower of delectable goodness, begging me to dig in. Of course, I didn't share little bites with Xander, either. Nope, not me!
It wasn't me that forgot to put Mark's slimfast shakes in the refrigerator after I had the last one for breakfast on Sunday. And I didn't panic when I realized it this morning and make him breakfast...bacon, egg and cheese bagel. I didn't make one for myself either. After dinner, I didn't use the strawberries to make strawberry milkshakes for myself and Zack. I had to save the strawberries from going bad, right? At Tae Kwon Do, I did not beam with pride as Zack got a second stripe on his yellow belt. And, despite my new walking buddy being sick in bed all day, I did not strap the kids in the stroller and take off. Nope, not me!
PS--This Not Me Monday thing was a little harder than I thought it would me, but fun, too. I guess I just have to keep it in mind during the week.
Cygnet Mommy
I'm a mother of three boys, married to my hero, trying to figure out how to be everything to everyone in the house and still make time for myself. I'm also trying to figure out this journey they call life and learning to appreciate all of God's blessings. I love to cook, bake, scrapbook (sometimes), read, enjoy the sunshine on a nice day and spend time with my boys. I hate cleaning, spiders and green beans.
My Husband, My Hero
Mark is my hard-working husband, my cowboy, my hero, my knight in not-so-shiny armor. He is a triathlete, a wonderful son, and a fantastic father. We have been married for 9 years, together for 11, and everyday I wonder how I've been so lucky to have him in my life.
Zachary Edward ~ 4/16/04
Zack is a happy, hyper child who can talk the ear off anything and give the best super hugs. He is about to finish second grade. He loves Transformers and monster trucks and his baby brother. He doesn't like English Muffin pizzas or not getting his way. He's a great big brother...most of the time.
Xander Kenny ~ 7/23/07
Xander is a Mama's boy and a bundle of energy. He loves playing with lots of random superhero and other action figures and playing on the computer. He is a very picky eater, but he's getting better about some things. He doesn't like his preschool or doing his chores. He's a very smart boy, and it amazes me to see how curious he is about the world.
Baby Eli
Eli David ~ 3/17/11
Baby Eli is such a sweet thing! He loves his mobile above his crib. That will usually give me ten or fifteen minutes without having to worry about him. He also loves to look around when we carry him. He's got the biggest, brightest, bluest eyes, and the biggest, sweetest smile.
