Not Me Monday!

If you're new to the "not me Monday" concept, click on My Charming Kids blog in my Blog List, because I still have no idea how to add links to my posts!

Anyhow, here's some of my Not Me's:

I did not forget to take my sweet Hubby something to drink, until after he had been hard at work on his truck for over 3 hours this morning.

I did not let my youngest, who's currently sporting a very runny nose and croupy cough, go outside in 50 degree weather in only a short sleeve shirt and shorts, because that's what he picked out, and I did not want to fight him.

I have not spent most of my Monday morning reading blogs and looking at photography websites, because I have way too much other stuff to do, and I would never waste time like that.

I did not spend a good 5 minutes punching my son's punching bag this morning while tears ran down my face.

I have not cried myself to sleep any this past week, nor have I cried many times a day.

I do not have a stack of unopened envelopes on my kitchen counter that I can not bear to open, because I know what they say.

I have not lain in bed, several nights lately, praying, ok worrying, about how we're going to pay the bills that are past due, pay the bills that are due, and buy the necessities like groceries and gas.

I have not repeatedly thought about researching bankruptcy, only to go into denial and tell myself I'll do it tomorrow, if things aren't better. Because we would never be at that point now.

I did not raid our "spare change" jar in order to have some money over the weekend.

And I did not "borrow" some money from C's piggy bank so I could take him to McTeacher night at McDonald's. And I did not leave my other two children at home, because I did not want to "borrow" more money to buy them some, too.

I have not gotten the least bit emotional over this election! I do have faith that God's in control no matter who He allows to be President, even if that person will be taking us that much closer to the end of time.

I have not written any run on sentences in this post.

And I am sorry that you get to read about our very real life right now. I, also, know we are indeed blessed.
