Holding my breath...

Sheew...glad that is over. One of the last times I gave myself a "blog-a-licious" overhaul, I really messed things up around here. Sooo...as you can really imagine, I was holding my breath this time. But, I am very pleased to say...I did it! I now have a 3 column blog. No mess ups this time either. Miracle...

Now, on to the rest of my day. I am sure you were all just dying to know that bit of information so you could get on with your day as well!

Oh, and I will attempt to fix the size of the header later. We are off to Gander Mountain now, finally. I have been waiting on the children to get dressed so we could leave.

Not me! Monday!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday, where we can be brutally honest with each other, and live to tell about it. When you are finished here, head on over to MckMama's blog to see a list of more not me's. You will be so glad you did!





Let's see...this week, I did not get woken up all night long, almost everynight by a precious 5 month old, because we all know that he is way too old to be waking up in the middle of the night.





So, in light of not being that mom, I most certianly am not so tired during the day that I can barely function!





Then if I am not that mom, I surely did not beg my mother to pick up the older kids from school one day because the little ones were napping and I did not want to wake them up!





I did not try to nap with them one day only to be roused from my near dozing by said 5 month old because he was ready to wake up. Nope, glad that was not me!





On Tuesday, I was not sad because My Knight in Shining Armour went on a field trip with one of the older kids and I did not get to spend the day with him. Nuh uh...wasn't me! Because I know how important it is for Dad's to get a chance to go when they can.





This Friday, I am certianly not taking a 3 year old and a 5 month old on a field trip with another older child's class! What, am I crazy? Wait, do not answer that!





About that field trip, I really never would have thought to ask afore mentioned grandma to take a day off of her busy work schedule so she could go with me to make sure we kept not only the children on the field trip in line, but the little ones as well. That would mean that I might not be able to handle 6 or 7 kids on my own.





I have also not eaten at Chipotle two or more times this week. I certainly know how important variety is!





Surely you all now that I have also not still been procrastinating doing my Disney itenirary! That would be just plain crazy.





You should know too that I am not sitting here typing this one handed because I am holding the most beautiful baby in the world.





The reason I am not holding that baby is because he is for sure not feeling under the weather like the rest of the clan.





Ah, and about the rest of the clan, I have not turned their world upside down by reading and following the advice in this book. Tell them once and walk away...my new motto!



Sunday, I most certianly did not have to redo spruce up my blog because I messed it up so bad I could not fix it...nope, glad that did not happen to me! I had too much to do for that to have happened.



And finally, last night, I surely did not have to pry Tutti-Frutti's foot out of his mouth in order to feed him. Now that would have just been plain funny!



So, now join in the fun and let me know what you did not do...truth...it's good for the soul.

Blog-a-licious Overhaul

Woo hoo! Hope you all like the new look! Should I just leave it at that or tell the real story...well, you know me. I am gonna let the truth "set me free."



I decided that I was going to try to get fancy and add a pretty "signature" to my blog. HA! It would be a major understatement to say that I really messed up the place! I was in quite a panic to say the least. I hope no one came a knockin while it was all torn up. That might have just been funny. Anyway, I was missing things, things were moved, things were changed...so I decided to wipe it clean and start again...so...TA DA! This is what I spent part of my afternoon doing.



I have several new posts ready to go out early in the morning, so stop back by when you get a chance. My Not me! Monday! will be here as well as a blog about a cool magazine, the magazine is owned and published by a family who have seven kids, three adopted and one who has Leukemia (www.riggsfamilyblog.com).
