Not Me! Monday

One small part of why I began this blog was to join a community of people so that I would have additional motivation and inspiration for my scrapbooking and stamping. Through my SBS group (#23) I have met many new friends that I have grown to treasure - through them I have found much motivation, inspiration and fabulous ideas (check out their VERY creative blogs on my sidebar)…..

Now I just need to join a group that will show me how to add more hours to my day so that I can once again do something with all of the motivation, inspiration and ideas! With that said, here is this week’s episode of “Not Me! Monday”….This weekend, I did not for the umpteenth time say I was going to clean out my scrap room (that my husband so lovingly made for me where at the moment it is impossible to even walk through all the clutter) but didn’t because I wouldn’t try to put off my sanity-savers hobbies until my other “duties” are caught up. (at this rate, I will complete my kids’ baby books while I am sitting in a nursing home at a ripe old age)

I did not already break one of my top New Year’s Resolutions: No More Laundry Couch. I did not on the early date of January 10th use the couch as a long-term laundry holding area. I especially would not do this when I have a perfectly good laundry room intended for folding, sorting and holding of clothes until they are lovingly put away.


I do not find myself using the laundry holding area couch because my laundry room counter more often than not looks like this:


I do not have to go and clear off the couch and organize the laundry room as soon as I'm done with this because if I have time to blog about the mess, I have time to clean up the mess.

I did not against my better judgment get out of bed at 2am and take Nyquil because I knew my cough was keeping my husband awake. I did not regret that decision with all that was in me when our kids woke up at the crack of dawn.

I was not still in my pajamas and robe when my husband stopped by the house at 10am this morning to pick something up. (in my own defense, I had already done a load of laundry-see above-feed the kids breakfast and put dinner in the crockpot – all in my pajamas, but hey)

And finally, when making my to do list for the week, I would never write down all the things I did the day before just so I could cross them off my list and feel more productive. I wouldn’t do that because that would be just plain silly.

Hop on over to MckMama’s blog for more “Not Me!” madness…..

Have a wonderful week!
