Not me, Monday=o) Week #2

I did not get hooked on the Not Me, Monday posts by reading from MckMama's blog, http://www.mycharmingkids.net/! You should really read her blog sometime. She is a blast! She is also having baby Stellan in 2 more days! I am not sooo excited to see pictures of the new little man=o)

I was not totally excited that today was Monday and I would get to read everyone's 'Not Me, Mondays'. I did not lay awake last nite thinking about what I would write today. I did not almost write my post at 3:45am this morning.

Today, I did not have a shower, but fail to wash my hair because I am not too lazy to do so. I would never go out in public with dirty hair thrown in a ponytail.

I did not have a total meltdown while on the phone with my boyfriend, Pani the other nite. He was not totally understanding and fabulous about the whole thing. He did not fully encourage me and tell me that I'm still healing and that it's going to take time. He did not fully put me in a better mood!!! I am not totally in love with him=o)

I did not allow myself to wallow in self pity because I was feeling so rotten. I mean, what good would that do except bring me further down? No, not me!

I did not have a trying week with my dog, Squeakers. He has not been barking when in his cage for bed. I have not had to go in and consistently take him out, spank him, tell him not to bark and go to sleep, and then put him back in his cage. He did not continually do so for hours. I did not eventually give in either. The first nite, I did not give in after an hour. The 2nd nite, I did not give in after 3 hours. The 3rd nite, he did not actually sleep for 6 hours. The 4th nite, I did not have to finally give into him after over 5 hours because my landlord, Belinda called at 2:40am to ask me to make him stop. No, not me. I did not give in! What good would all my consistency mean then? And I was totally not embarrassed to have Belinda call because the dog woke her up.

I did not the one nite while 'dealing' with my dog, get so upset and spank him out of anger and yell at him. Then I did not lay in bed and while praying, totally break down and start crying and feel guilty for getting so upset. It did not make me wonder if I will react this way when and if I become a mother one day. I did not then go and take him out of his cage, and while crying hug him and tell him I'm sorry. I mean, he's just a dog, rite? I would never stoop so low=oP

I did not feel amazing and blessed relief when getting my 13 staples out this week! I was then not excited to be able to sleep on my side at nite finally. I did not wake myself up a couple nites by screaming out in pain. I did not feel like a goof realizing it was my own voice yelling out and it was still only the middle of the nite.

I did not feel embarrassed when having to call Belinda to ask her to put clean sheets on my bed! My bed is against one wall since the room isn't very large. And since I am not supposed to lift anything, I did not ask for help.

I did not sleep in until 3:30pm today. And I did not feel like staying in bed all day!

I did not get a bit side tracked while doing this post since I was not watching 'Little House on the Prairie' and 'Saved by the Bell the New Class'.

Not Me, Monday=o)

I'm going to try the 'Not Me, Monday'. I have been reading it on MckMama's blog for the past while and it is a lot of fun! Well, here it goes.......

Last week Wednesday, I did not have gall bladder surgery. I did not have to stay overnite because they weren't able to get the pain under control.

Now, seeing as I didn't have surgery, I didn't have a shower and brush my teeth just before going to the hospital. And then I most certainly did not wait until Thursday nite before finally brushing my teeth again. No, not me! And I DID NOT wait until Friday evening before having a shower and get cleaned up. Nope, not me. That would just be too disgusting to wait for over 2 whole days before showering.

I was not on pain medication and therefore did not get TOTALLY embarrassed that my ma saw my bare backside when going to the washroom in the hospital. And then again was not too drugged up to care that while staying overnite at ma and pop's, and just before having a shower, asking ma for a washcloth, and having her walk in with the door wide open just as I was about to walk into the shower. No, I certainly DID NOT care that my ma saw 'all' of me, fully undressed and just stood talking for a minute. Not me!

I did not get depressed over being house bound when I for the most part don't know how to relax. I mean, who doesn't know how to relax, rite? I most definitely didn't wallow in self pity tonite, being Monday, because I was all alone. Nope, what's the point in that?

And I most certainly did not ask my aunt to bring Crazy Bread from Little Caesars when she offered to bring something. Because we all know that crazy bread is not a good choice to eat after only eating soup and toast or grilled cheese for the past couple weeks. No, I would never do such a thing as give into a food craving=o)

Lastly, I did not do a load of laundry by myself today. And I did not leave it in the dryer to stay for who knows how long before it gets folded. Not me. My laundry is always done in an orderly fashion.

Well, hopefully you liked it=o) I did my best! And it was super fun too! Nothing like letting people know that you're crazy and are not the 'perfect' person=0)

Thanksgiving Day=o)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! I was able to spend most of the day with my family. The only ones not able to be there were Jamie and Katie. Jamie had to work and Katie spent the day with her side of the family. Seth had a blast playing sports with Gramma and Papa=o) They played hockey and baseball. Here the boys are just before the 'big' game.

I love that she gives hugs! Way too cute.
Getting ready to go for a walk
Shiloh decided that the strap on my camera was a string to chew on. She wouldn't let go. Finally I had to pry open her mouth with my fingers.
So pretty!
Me and Shy again
Out for a family walk after our big dinner. Nothing like getting rid of that 'full' feeling quickly=o) Love Jennifer's new haircut. It looks fabulous from the back in this picture!
Susie and Shy
The front of the group this time=o)
The beautiful changes of the leaves. God is so good and certainly has blessed us with the beauty He has created!
I just love fall. It's my absolute favorite season!
Such pretty colors

Down a gully near Ma and Pop's place
I love the combination of the very red bush and this tree. Amazing!

Ma, Seth and I were ahead of the group chatting. Thanks for listening to me Ma=o)
Sweet little Ethan
Seth was chewing on a stick. Ethan is trying to look past me at something.
Love seeing Seth giggle. Nothing like being tickled to get a good smile out of someone=0) Ethan getting eager to be able to get out of his stroller!
Pointing, trying to beg me 'Auntie Dani, please take me out of here so I can run around'=o) Sorry peanut, but it didn't happen.
The 3 sisters=0) The last time we had our picture together was at Susie's Grade 8 graduation. It was time for an update!
Awww, look at the 2 cuties=0)
Papa giving his grandson a kiss before they left for the nite.
Bath time! After the walk, the boys had a bath to clean them up since they were outside for most of the afternoon. This way they could just go home and put the boys to bed.
Having fun together=0) I love my family!! Missed you Jamie and Katie!
