Not me Monday


This is not me.* I am not in sweats with unbrushed teeth. I do not smell like gym socks. I am not still on the phone at 4:30PM. I am not the kind of mom that doesn’t dive head-first into helping with homework as soon as the kiddos walk through the door. I am definitely not still searching online for a recipe that uses the almost- too- old roast in my fridge.
Gotta go…
*photo taken at friend’s insistence. Happened to be the friend I was on the phone with. But it’s still not me.

    Happy Monday! I am sure everything was accomplished that needed to be! I got lost in your blog today on the questions and answers. I really loved your family dinner time. You are a very sweet family.

    Love Ashley

    Not one bit of it sounds like my day today. Well, except the roast part. Definitly do not have a leftover roast in my fridge. Pizza maybe… I am sooo not impressed. πŸ˜‰

    I am not off to procrastinate further. Is it tomorrow yet?

    Thanks for having a fun blog to follow. I’m a lurker, love to read your stories and sooooooo wish we could adopt ONE more from China. (sadly they won’t let us due to dh’s cancer history…..we tried……but that’s another story!)
    Anyway………
    if you want to feel better about your day just stop in on my blog and read about my fun today. I kept saying “this is so NOT happening right now”, and well it was, and well it was disguisting.

    Happy Monday!!

    Good to know I’m not the only one out there! I was in my p.j.’s yesterday until about 4:00 p.m. I follow blogs every morning with my coffee and everyone’s kids and houses always look so put together and “perfect.” I like it when someone comes clean and posts what life is really like some days! Thanks for being real Stephanie.
