Misadventures in Mommyhood: Not Me Monday

The Oldest

Sage is the oldest of our three children. She is a sensitive, caring and very sweet teen girl. She says that she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She is already growing up way too quickly for me. I am very proud of her for many reasons. She is a pre-ap, GT student with (almost) straight A's and is kind to everyone even if they are not kind to her. She has also broadened her horizons in the food catagory which I am very happy about. She has tried new things such as brocolli and asparagus and absolutely loves them! I like to think that we have done a pretty good job so far with her. Before long, she'll be all grown up and on her way to creating her own life!

The Boy

Raiden is the crazy part of our children. He looks and acts just like his father which can be good, but not so good at times. They do seem to share a similar temper and that's the not so good part. He's a real sweetheart, though. He is Momma's boy but is definitely all boy. I am very proud to say that he is now a Webelo rank in the Cub Scouts and plans on sticking it out till he makes Eagle. This week he tells me he wants to go into the military and that couldn't make me any prouder. He has also expressed intrest in being an astronaut, a teacher, a spy and a fireman just to name a few. He really believes he can be all of those and so do I. He is my Boo-Boo Bear after all!

Not Me Monday

Monday already. And just when we were getting into the weekend swing.

You know what Mondays mean, though. That's right, folks. Mondays bring Not Me Mondays from MckMama. A fun little carnival where we can confess some of our imperfections.

I normally have a pretty laid back life. Getting the hubby up and off to work. Get the big kids up and off to school and hanging out with K-diddy all day. Oh yeah, a little bit of cleaning thrown in there, too. This past week was a little busier with the holidays and all. With that, you wouldn't think that a Momma would finally ~~nag~~ convince the old man to drag out the Christmas tree and decorations just to let it all sit in the middle of the living room floor all week long. Nope, not me. I never procrastinate and I always do everything in a timely manner.

There's no way, with it being roughly two weeks after Thanksgiving and two weeks before Christmas, that I would have made a turkey dinner for my family for a little thing we're calling Thanksmas dinner. No way. I wouldn't have decided to make a 6+ course meal for my family of 5 to enjoy at our very own dinner table. I could not have been so super proud of myself for successfully cooking my very first turkey. I would not have told everyone I know!

So that is just a snippet of what I did NOT do this past week. I'm sure there's more, but I don't think to write things down and have my short term memory store in a peanut. So if you would like to join in Not Me Monday, hop on over to MckMama's blog and get started.
