I really did NOT do this!




Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This week, I have been a REAL slacker. There are MANY things that happened that were NOT me!

First, it was NOT ME that cried as my 5 year old left the house with my little (21 year old) sister to go spend the night on Friday evening. Of course, it was also not me that was kind of excited that I had to go pick the same child up a few hours later. (Unfortunately it was because my sister got sick!)

Then, it was NOT ME that the following day took the same 5 year old to Lowes Home Improvement to stand behind a table to sell Girl Scout cookies. Of course, she and her Girl Scout friend that was there wouldn't look so cute that some people just donated money to them. In fact, they wouldn't look SO cute that one man (who had already bought cookies from his daughter) would just give them a $20 bill as a donation! At least at the first cookie booth, we were inside!

After NOT being at the first booth, we definitely wouldn't drive literally across the street to go to Sam's Club and stand outside (under that SMALL awning they have) to sell more cookies! No...we wouldn't! And it would not be me chasing a 5 year old yelling "Chasity! Get out of the rain! You're gonna get sick!" Nope. I'd never cause 20 people standing outside Sam's Club to stare at me....not for yelling at my child anyways.

After all of that, I would not be the Girl Scout leader that has NOTHING planned for the girls to do tomorrow night. I have NO idea what we still have to earn! I don't even know if we have anything easy that I can come up with tomorrow!

Of course, it's also not me who is hoping that school is on a normal schedule tomorrow so that I can get something....anything....planned for the girls to do at the Girl Scout meeting tomorrow night.

Also, it wasn't me who stood outside today with ear drops and a cotton ball in my ear watching (in adoration) as my beautiful 5 year old played in the snow! Today is the 3rd snow day for the school year. (It's not me that has to borrow a computer because mine is messed up and I can't even put the pics up today!) It's not me who was in awe of how beautiful and grown up my daughter can be...when she wants to be.

Lastly, it's not me that almost cried when I walked into Chasity's room just before coming up to the office. She's lying on her bed...sleeping. She looks so angelic. I had to cover her with a blanket. When I did, she opened her eyes and said "love you mommy". It's not me that's tearing up now as I write this!

Come back next week to see what else I didn't do.....

Until next time........

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
