Not Me Monday December 8, 2008

It’s monday and time for a NOT ME post, I have to tell you these posts are therapeutic and so much fun to NOT feel guilty about little things you have done over the week.

It couldn’t be me who has become a little bored or out of sorts with couponing lately?? No Not me?  And it couldn’t be my husband DT who has not been begging me to start back up Walgreening and CVS’ing because he misses all the treats and hates using our stash of deodorants, shampoo’s etc..  Ha ha!

I do not have a huge ginormous pile of laundry that needs to be folded and instead of folding I do not just go through them to pick out what the boys are going to wear and toss them in the dryer for a few minutes, I most certainly would never do something like that.

I also did not spend my weekend baking goodies to give out to friends and co workers and eat so many that I might have to make more, eek!!!

I most certainly did not take advantage that little H wasn’t feeling well and was super cuddly this week.

I did not feel slightly gratified with DT came down with the same cold I had and apologized for not being more helpful when I wasn’t feeling well.
