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. (http://www.mycharmingkids.net/)

*I so didn't leave a load of laundry in the washer for three days so that yesterday I would have to waste energy, soap and water to re-wash what was in there. I am far more responsible than that.

*I totally haven't bribed my son with everything under the sun for the last 5 days trying to get him to use the potty. I am a much better parent than one who uses every form of bribery to try and see some success. P.S. The bribery is not working.

*My son has not sat on the potty for 45 minutes at a time just to get off, put on his underwear and IMMEDIATELY pee in them. Nope, my son really wants to use the potty and is super excited about it and would never do something like that.

*I did not just give into my son's request to have a Rice Krispie treat at 8AM this morning so I could write this post/edit a shoot from yesterday in some sort of peace. I am much better at micromanaging, multi-tasking and being a Mom.

*I did not write this post at 8AM this morning and then refresh MckMama's page every 2 minutes to see when her Not Me Monday post would be posted. Nope, I am certainly not that obsessive, nor am I procrastinating editing pictures every single time I refresh her page.

Well, that's it for me today. What have you not done lately?

Vote for Jetta and Miley!!

Zoey's Closet

I recently found Zoey's Closet via Craigslist and I am so in love with her stuff! I wish I had a little girl for her pillowcase dress. I know next time I'm pregnant, I will be ordering things from her. So cute!!!

Not Me Monday!

There is no way I would spend $855 of our tax refund when it hadn't deposited in our bank account yet. Nope. I would never be crazy enough to spend our bill money to buy a camera. I would always do the responsible thing and wait until we actually had the money to buy my new toys.

I also would never spend an hour on the phone with the IRS this morning sitting on hold waiting to be told that our tax refund will in fact, not be there until NEXT Friday. Maybe. Because that's "just the way it is." Nope. I wouldn't waste an hour of my time to find out our bills still won't get paid this week.

I also would not go to the gym twice this weekend only to stop on the way home and get a giant slurpee from 7-11. Nope, I have so much more will power than that.

Speaking of gym...I would also never put off going and doing some cardio and instead take a 4 hour nap. No. That would be crazy. I would never do something so motivation-free like that.

I also would never leave a weekends full of dishes in the sink because I took a four hour nap instead of being somewhat productive. Nope. Dishes always come before naps.

I would never give up on my new year's resolution less than a month into it. Nope. I will always do my new year's resolution. My photos of the day are patiently waiting to be uploaded. Of course they are. I would never not document our boring days.

Congrats to The Gwendeloyn Strong Foundation!

Thank you to EVERYONE who took the time to vote for The Gwendeloyn Strong Foundation to win the Chase Community Giving contest. You can see the post about it here. Thanks to your votes, and thanks to Chase for extending the winners to the top 6. While The Gwendeloyn Strong Foundation did not win the first place award of $1,000,000, they did win $100K to put towards the cure of SMA.

I also want to thank Kendra for her incredible words, and for having the strength to take so many with her on her journey through SMA, and to continue to take us along as she grieves the loss of her angel, Makenzie. Through Kendra's words, Makenzie has inspired so many people out there, and I am very grateful for having the chance to get to know Makenzie's family.

P.S. I know I need to update with a "picture of the day" post. The pictures are here, I just need to get the post up. I will. Eventually.
