Not Me Monday!

Happy Cyber Monday everyone! Anyone else just smelling the deals in the air this morning?!? I cant wait to see whats out there… however, before I start my shopping today I’m here to tell you some of the things that I ‘Didn’t do’ last week.



- I did not thoroughly enjoy making ‘turkey cupcakes’ with my little man (Thanks for the idea Betty!)

- Obviously, I did not break the diet yet again… and eat lots of appetizers, turkey and miscellaneous desserts.

-I also did not continue to eat the left overs the next day

- I never would have broken a 20+ yr family tradition of Black Friday shopping because I was just not in the mood.

-So it definitely was not me who was sitting in her PJs, sipping on coffee shopping online & discovering the wonderful world of EBATES for over 5 hours. (If you dont know about Ebates.. and their double rewards, you must check them out!)

- I n>did not pick out the ugliest curtains for my kitchen due to pressure of HAVING to get the sale at JCPenny on Saturday…. and now have to return them by myself with 2 kids at my side.


- I did not wait in the freezing rain at Radio City Music Hall wanting to cry from mixing the gusts of chilling wet wind with the frustration of having to keep my lil man in the cold (although he notably looked SO cute in his santa hat with his little Elmo umbrella)










- So, you can mark it in the book that it WAS NOT ME who offered our 3 yr old my Starbucks to keep his tummy warm.

- I did not want to smack the people in front of me on line for letting their 4 kids toss their NYC Soft pretzels all over the street as they waited.

- I definitely did not get a little teary eyed watching the “Christmas Spectacular” through the excited eyes of my lil Ry-bread who got so excited to see Santa every time he was on stage.



















- It pan class="Apple-style-span" style="">wasn’t me who on the quiet ride home (child passed out in back) tried to persuade my dear hubby into agreeing we should NOT start our baby princess on her steroids this week. 

- It also was not me who lost that conversation but still secretly considered just not giving them to her anyway. 

- So I definitely did not cry a lil when I had to give her, her first dosages this morning :(

And lastly, I simply must confess that I am NOT suffering from a major case of “Mommy Brain” and cannot seem to think of any other confessions this week even though I know there are a TON more.

O and PS- I DO NOT want you to check out my Sticky Post on fun holiday sites and share your finds as well!

    The fact that you live in the NYC area, was enough for me to stop and say hi! I miss the east coast, a lot! Whenever I visit I always buy a pretzel from a street vendor!
    I contemplated taking my youngest of three to see Elmo and then decided, hmm, no. You are brave!
    Have a great Monday!
