Not Me Monday

“Are you feeling guilty for leaving the windows open to catch a breeze when you know the air is on? Feel like a bag lady for wearing the same shirt for days on end? Get tricked by a fake news story and feel foolish? We’ll don’t! Not Me! Monday was born out of my desire to admit some of my imperfections and reveal a few moments I’d rather forget. You may find it therapeutic to join in and do the same thing!” – MckMama

I decided to let you in on the things I most certainly did not do. For example, when Emily woke up this morning I didn’t tell her to go watch T.V. , pick up Aves and go back to bed, leaving my 3 year old to decide what to watch. She came into my room and asked for breakfast, so I didn’t tell her to go watch more T.V. and I’d be there in a minute. That’s just not something I would do.

When I finally drug my butt out of bed and made Emily oatmeal, I didn’t give in to her copious amounts of whining and let her have bacon bits in her oatmeal. I wouldn’t give in to a whiner or put bacon in cereal.

I’m not currently chilling in my pajamas while ignoring Em as she throws toys off the deck. I’m an attentive parent who supervises her daughter at all times.

All of that and its only 9:30am. I am not having a bad morning at all and I’m not going to go pour another cup of coffee in hopes of coping better.
