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.

Bloggy friends, this has been a good week! Mike and I had a week to regroup - without kids, we spent a long, romantic weekend at the North Shore...wowee! So, girls, when we took off to begin our romantic weekend I most certainly did not begin to show signs of the flu.

Mike and I did not go agate hunting on Agate Beach on the shores of Lake Superior in single digit weather - that would be CRAZY!!!! We would have been in our hot tub or in front of the fireplace in our nice, warm hotel! Do you think we're nuts???? For Pete's sake - the temps up there dipped to -50 that evening!

And, I did not write a post about how I was going to attack all my chores with a fresh attitude, and then spend the whole day on the computer meeting a writing deadline and catching up with my bloggy buddies! I am not sitting here, unshowered at 9pm, because I had to spend the rest of the day doing all my chores! Not me! When I say I'm going to attack my chores with a refreshed attitude, then I'm going to be Wonder Woman and get my stuff done, people!

And, I did not make my chicken stew for dinner wrong. Again. I ALWAYS read the recipe thoroughly first, and would NEVER forget to mix the flour into the milk to thicken it, and then try to do it after all the rest of the ingredients are added. Not me! I've been a wife an mom for almost 17 years now, and I think I'd have this down pat by now. I would know that this wouldn't work by now - not that this happened before...I have NEVER ruined dinner and made my family eat chicken stew that looked like diced chicken and veggies in a bowl of hot milk - not me!

And I most certainly am not considering letting the few Christmas decorations I have left to take down hang until tomorrow. I would NOT do that - not me! I am efficient and tireless! And I never leave a job half-done. Ever.

And now, I think I'll jump in the shower before bed. Thank you very much. All of that non-action has gotten me worn out! :) Toodles!

I think I would have done the same thing as you did (catch up on the computer instead of running around and doing chores).

I've missed you dearly! So happy to be back in the blogging world :)

Praying that your flu like symptoms have disappeared completely!

Oh no! I hope you felt better for your romantic weekend!! Eventhough I have no idea what that is! Ha!

And yes you are nuts- that is way to cold, maybe next romantic weekend can be umm tropical!!
