Not Me! Monday

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.

**********************

Last week was NOT a SUPER busy week at our house! We did NOT do a ton of different things all week, and I am NOT SUPER exhausted from all the stuff that we did NOT do!

{We did NOT go on a last minute mini-vacation to the beach. We did NOT attend Open House at Henry's new school and meet his new teacher. We did NOT take Henry to his first day of Kindergarten. We did NOT go to three birthday parties on Saturday. We did NOT have a busy Sunday at church followed by lunch, shopping, dessert and the cleaning the house! I am NOT exhausted just thinking about the week we had last week!}

While we were on our mini vacation, I did NOT eat a ton of junk food, fried food, ice cream, and treats! I always eat healthy food....especially when I am on vacation. When we got home from vacation, I did NOT continue to eat unhealthy food for the whole week. I did NOT finish off another jar of Nutella and a few various things of candy that had been sitting around the house for a while!

While we were on vacation, I did NOT let the boys take a 'break' from bathtime. I did NOT just let them going to the pool count as taking a bath for two of the three nights that we were gone!

I did NOT change a billion dirty diapers this past week. Eli was NOT on antibiotics for an ear infection...and those antibiotics did NOT give him horrible diarrhea, which means I did NOT have to change his little hiney every hour of every day for the past week! And if I did have to change that many diapers, I would NEVER complain that all my child ever seems to do is POOP!

I am NOT just a little {more} sad than I thought I would be about Henry starting Kindergarten! We have NOT been so ready for him to start school, and now I am NOT just a little worried about how well he is adjusting!

A Few of My Favorite Things {3}...

My favorite chocolate fix

Nutella

I have seriously gone through {by myself} at least 5 jars of this stuff since the beginning of June. I bought a jar of it at the beginning of summer...thinking it would be okay, but probably not anything special. OH MY! Was I wrong! This stuff is SUPER delicious...though not really the best for my {not nearly small enough} waistline! I just finished off a jar today, and I think I am going to NOT buy another jar for a while! I need to get back on WW big time...which for me means eating a ton of Special K and apples!

My favorite summer t.v. show

Drop Dead Diva

This is a new show that comes on Lifetime. I thought it looked interesting, so I set the DVR to record the first episode a few weeks ago. It is actually pretty good...especially considering it is a Lifetime show and I'm not really a Lifetime kind of girl! This show is helping to fill the t.v. void that the summer has left since everything {and I mean everything} that I like to watch is either in reruns or not even on the air!

My favorite piece of furniture
My china cabinet

I got this china cabinet back in June for my anniversary, but I don't think I ever posted pictures of it! I am still SUPER excited that my wedding china finally has a place {after sitting in the boxes for 7 years}! Just in case you don't remember, Jason and I got this beauty at a Rooms 2 Go Outlet store for less than $400! The only thing wrong with it was a few scratches that a furniture marker took care of easily....and the exact same cabinet was sitting in the regular store with a price tag of $999!

My favorite song
Perfect People by Natalie Grant

Never let 'em see you when you're breaking

Never let 'em see you when you fall

That's how we live and that's how we try

Tell the world you've got it all together

Never let them see what's underneath

Cover it up with a crooked smile

But it only lasts for a little while

[CHORUS:]There's no such thing as perfect people

There's no such thing as a perfect life

So come as you are, broken and scarred

Lift up your heart and be amazed

And be changed by a perfect God

Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted

When you hear the words that you are loved

He knows where you are and where you've been

And you never have to go there again

[CHORUS]

Who lived and died to give new life

To heal our imperfections

So look up and see love.

Let grace be enough

[CHORUS]

By a perfect God [5x]

Be changed by a perfect God

Be changed
