Not Me Monday

Here we are again. The beginning of another week and Not Me Monday!!

This past week...

I did not finally give in and let Nick win. I did not allow him to go with Daddy and the highschool hockey team to their games in the cities this weekend and to a gopher game on Saturday night. I would never let my child push and push and whine and whine until I finally said yes, you can go. Giving in like that is not what I would do.

I was not feeling like a kid again as I sat with my mom and 2 little boys listening to the polar express book. I did not secretly wish that I could get a bell at the end of the story like all the kids did when we were done.

I did not feel rather sad that eventually my kids will not believe in Santa anymore. I did not wish that the magic would last forever.

Kurt and I did not have a conversation this past week thinking about how quickly the boys are growing up and that we are 1/2 way done with raising Nick before he is done with school and moving on to college. Why does 8 years old have to seem so old!!

I did not go shopping this weekend and have to hide gifts from my kids in the shopping cart. I did not wrap up some toys in a store ad so that Eric would not see it. I did not repeatedly frantically signal my mom to take the boys somewhere so that I could hide something in my cart.

I did not wait for the last minute to get Eric's birthday card invites out to friends and family. I did not have to hand deliver said cards rather than mailing them because I was behind schedule.


And finally, I did not give Eric one of his birthday gifts early because I knew that it would occupy him in the car on the way to Duluth.

Glad that is all off of my chest. Have a good week everyone.
